It's Thursday already.

Have just returned from a trip up the range to see the grandchildren, as well as Allan and Katherine.

I started off uncertainly with a trip to the vet for Abbey. She has had a breathing problem for a long time now, and I wanted to talk to the Vet about her prospects. Not good really, she thinks. She is reaching the ripe old age of nearly 14 years this Christmas!


The kids were all sparking ...and the sky was fantastic this morning before I left for home. We are hoping that the predictions for rain in the next few days will come true!

Allan had to go off to work , and so I took a photo of him saying goodbye to baby Sarah!

The kids love playing outside..in between trips to ballet classes. Not to mention soccer classes after school which will start again for Isaac soon!

Rebecca has a lovely relationship with little Sarah. I loved this moment of Bec coming home from ballet and greeting Sarah! Very touching!

Allan very kindly was looking at prices of cars for me...to replace the ageing one I have now!

The lilies were out at the Japanese Gardens when I walked up there with Sarah yesterday, and Isaac and Sarah this morning!

The grevillea...(or is it a calistemon...I can never remember)...was looking wonderful over their back fence! I love the subtle colour!

You can tell I need a better lens for my camera...because that was as close as I could get to this bird...mind you , he was on the roof of the shed behind!

Sarah is just like Robert and loves to swing around on the swing just the same as he does! Only maybe not quite as wildly!

She loves her little dollies too!

Sarah and Isaac enjoyed their trip to the gardens this morning, feeding the ducks and then catching a bus home from the uni next door!

Then they enjoyed watching tv when they got home!

I managed to get a photo of Sarah on the bus yesterday...there is one of Isaac waiting for the bus today... must dig it out for next time!

I walked over the road with my neighbour Bea to see what was going on in the empty paddock behind all the clouds of dust!


We were pleased to see there was a jacaranda still standing. That and a pandanus was about all!

We wonder how many houses or (hopefully not) townhouses might be going in on the very large block. Looks like there will be a bit of construction going on for some time!




Abbey loves lying outside down the back on the cool cement.

The other day there was an amazing cloud picture !

Time to get some rest for my shoulder I think.....all this typing doesn't do it any good.
