As I mentioned, I stayed with my old friend Thor, his wife Eva and their kids while I was in Tasmania. Above is a picture of their house. It is situated about 15 minutes from downtown Hobart, on a 5 acre parcel perched on a hillside. Very tranquil and pastoral--I really liked it. The house is made of mudbrick, with stone floors--the result of which is that it is thermally stable and keeps cool even in the scorching heat. They also have a guest house, which is adjacent to the main house, and have told me that there is an open invitation to A, P, B, J & G to stay there.
Here is a picture of Thor and Eva, as well as a cute one of their two boys, Jasper and Archie (chocolate-smeared cheeks an added bonus). The boys are quite gregarious, and we had fun playing together.
As promised, below are some pictures of the family's pets and other assorted critters. The first one is of Oscar the cat enjoying a bit of a scratch from your's truly. The next one is Honey the guinea pig and various chickens. The final one is of two of the, shall we say, more "affectionate" goats, who help Thor keep the pastures in check.
