Rowan’s Birthday, I didn’t really take any photos because I am useless. But he had a great day at a Swapmeet.

May

I upgraded my motorbike as the small 50cc as you are not allowed to do your restricted on such a low powered bike. The house it looking cute with extra details coming out with the paint.

Broken down ute, now we get an old Toyota as a spare car
