Big Thirsty Aussies

It has been another great weekend here. Saturday was in fact a bit cool but Sunday was brilliant. Spent the day digging over the garden bed (Boris mostly) should be able to get the seedlings in next weekend. We will have 2 beds this year-hopefully. The girls went off to Canberra for their year 5/6 excursion for 3 days this past week. They had a great time and as for what we did home alone for the first time in 12 years.... well you'll just have to wait for the book to come out! If you frequent that type of book shop. It is the preliminary final (or play-offs if you will) his weekend so I watch the footy as we speak (Rugby League for those of you in the states). Our team made the grand final in last nights game now we are watching to see who they will play.

Remember a few posts back when I mentioned the fact that all the house work I had avoided may come back to bite me! Well it has , teeth bared and snarling! Started spring cleaning this week in the girls rooms (they were away for a camp with school for 2 days). Wow.... should have sent them away for a month to go through all of that! However, all our organizational problems are sorting themselves out due to the trickle down effect of 2 new shelving units......everything is falling into place and after another 80 yrs time should be set! I would post photos but can't find the camera in the mess!!!

This was this mornings sunrise! Another wonderful spring day draws slowly to a close around us...... The weather this weekend (and most of the past week) has been sensational! Today we went to the local national park to try a walk not yet tried, out to the "Hole in the wall". The top of which has caved in so it is now really only a "Gap in the Wall". It was a great place, although in a note to ourselves we will check the tides before we do any more beach adventures.As it got a bit tricky in a couple of places but was enjoyable just the same. We then went out to Murry's Beach and Governors Head to see if we could see any whales. We did not. However, it was still a great look out and we saw this person hiding in the bush on the way up! We will call him George! George the Echidna! As this was all before 11a.m. we were also able to get some gardening in. The girls go off their big Canberra excursion tomorrow for 3 days. All very exciting here! Lots of good things f...

Well another busy one slips away from us..... We spent today at a soccer grand final (we lost 1-0 but was a great game) then off to "The Gong" for a school spectacular dance music thingo that Tory was in. She's the one in the pink! As photographed from our nosebleed seats. Was a great production but 3 hours long! As Tomorrow is Father's Day here in the land of Oz I will wish any of you that are a good one! We had a great night over at the beach watching the lunar eclipse on Tuesday as well. Sadly no good photos but it truly did turn red. So in lieu of moon photos there is one of the kiddies getting cross because I kept putting the flash in their eyes. oh yes and the sand balls!
