Caterina’s honorary grandpa (Nonno) passed away on Sunday. We went to the viewing last night which was a bit sad.

Here’s a photo that Caterina took a few months ago of me & Luca with Fr & Sr Pace.

We went and visited him in hospital a few days before he passed away, his last words to me were: “Guiseppe, have a happy life. That’s all.”

Such a nice person, we are sad to see him go but thankful that the end was peaceful.

We had a storm last night that went for over 10 hours. I managed to get out and take a few photos, I got pretty wet though 🙂

I had to hold the camera stand still as the wind was howling at the spot in the Adelaide Hills where I was taking pictures from. In some of the pictures you can see the lights of the suburbs are blurry because of the camera shaking on the tripod.

We lost power just as we were heading out to friends for dinner and the storm really kicked in as we were cooking on the BBQ. It seemed like we got more rain that we did, maybe its because we aren’t used to seeing much rain lately 😐

Eli gave me a laser pen for my birthday recently and I’ve been having some fun playing around with it. It is just a standard 650nm red laser with under 5mw power but it is suprising how far you can see it.

Well actually how far you can see the reflection. So far I’ve gotten up to a bit over 300 meters at night, reflecting off a street sign further down our street.

I’m going to give it a try from mum & dads place, will be good to see how far away you can hit objects and still see the reflection back. Fun 🙂

Not much news lately. We got aircon installed recently, went for a reverse cycle ducted system. While it is a bit more expensive it will be worth it in the long run. It’s pretty handy considering it looks like it is going to be a warm summer this year. Already we have had some shocker days 😐

Luca is growing and changing every day, I must put together some more little video clips, just have to find some time 🙂
