Mojo:"It's So Hot!!!!" Ok so I haven't posted in a while...busy? not really just the day to day going on. Have been in the drink (by which I mean in the bay-swimming) 12 out of the last 14 days, summer is here-Woo Hoo! Having said that, today was so miserably stinking hot, with that horrible hot westerly wind to go with it... Can only be thankful that we had the creek to go down to later in the day.

Oh well mundane is wonderful in that we are happily floating through some great days in our lives.... "living the dream". Here are some pics. Beach in the morning (with some friends of girls) Get in Here.... Drift to here.... It's all good!!!!

Took some photos of our Sunday running spot today (had to walk today as Tory is nursing chesty mucus and we would like for it to be gone well before the holidays),as we were able to take camera along. This is again , in the national park, in the Botanical Gardens. We have a current new favourite track- The Heath Trail- but we do end up in the Koori Gardens, and the Casuarina Lawn. Here are some photos. The Heath Trail: The Worlds Largest Mingo Trees: Aboriginal Australians have over 7 uses for these including, but not restricted to their use in photos. More of the trail, and a great scribbly gum. There was also lots of Wattle and Bottle Brush out. Round and Round the scribbly gum the monkey chased the weasels... well actually the monkey chased but the weasels just gave a blank teenage stare combined with the rolling of the eyes (tree humour is just wasted on some ). How cool is this tree? A couple of spots along th...
