Chile National Independence Day

As some of you may be aware, today is Chile National Independence Day. Viva Chile!

I haven’t been back to Chile in over 21 years, and I guess that much has changed in that time, but one thing I’m quite sure hasn’t changed and that is the great food, hmmmm. I can think of empanadas, sopaipillas (if that’s how you write it), pastel the choclo, humitas, porotos con riendas, marraquetas… man I could go on forever! (I think I’m getting hungry again)

Anyway, happy birthday Chile!

Graduation day!

Today, after a lot of hard work, Cathy graduated from Certificate IV in Business Administration.

The ceremony wasn’t too boring and it was bright sunshiny day, so all in all it was a good graduation as far as graduations go.

After the photos and hellos we came back home and celebrated with an excellent meal with friends and family.

We had a special guest, Rochelle (Rellie), who also graduated and all her family was at home too.

We will post some pictures on the gallery soon.

I am married man!

Well, it all happened on 26 September, and it is great! We had the most beautiful sunny day, the bride was late (as usual), and then we enjoyed an excellent meal with our relatives and friends.

I will tell you about the honeymoon a bit later.

The wedding day is near!

[en]Well… it had to happen sooner or later, and it did! From here I would like to tell the world that last Sunday night I got engaged to kat!! Yeah, it is true… I know many of you won’t believe me ;) so you can ask kat and she will tell you that in fact it is true, I am getting married!

Happy Birthday, Mother!

Today is my mother’s birthday. I found this picture of her and me from a long, long time ago. If you want to know how old it is (the picture that is) it was taken in August 1970. I wasn’t a year old then. Have a great day, and an excellent year, mum!

Ben and mum, a long time ago
