Early in April, we met our new English friends, Rachael and Garry. They are living in our neighbourhood (30 metres down the road). Garry is a train driver who's working long hours driving trains to/from mines at Kararra and Rachael is enjoying her free time until September. Then, she will need to go to work -- like anybody else. Rachael is a great asset to our family and also my current businesses adventures. She's been doing my Pilates classes, and also a bit of modelling for my portfolio (see some pics attached).

Garry and Rachael have two additional members of their family - boxers Tilly and Uki (will show you some pics next time).
Not much has changed in our lives since June. Rob is literally working 24/7, and it doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon. I'll leave it to him to say more about his current status. However, the Rob's backyard is making progress every single day.
Since July, I've been teaching three Pilates classes per week, doing some marketing for my own business, and also thinking about what else I can do to get back my financial freedom.
Last week, I started a Street Photography course that I hope will give me more insight into the art of seeing. My course notes are talking about Henri Cartier-Bresson who's considered to be the Master of Street photography. Make sure you watch his video The Decisive Moment which makes it clear that good photography is not about what camera you own and it's more about understanding light and the ability to see and feel the right moment to press the shutter.
