Who ate the most?

 

Whenever we go and feed the ducks by nearby Lake Illawarra, it's always a 'throw up' to see who eats the most bread!
Consequently I don't let the bread get too stale!

My Birthday Lunch

 

We had a lovely lunch on a wintery afternoon, sitting in the mostly sunshine on the deck at Shellharbour pub - bliss.
Our only mistake - ordering both an entree and a main!
We couldn't leave any on the plate could we? We waddled home at about 3pm.
The only real drama of the day was that I lost my mobile phone. It must have fallen off the edge of the deck when we changed tables following the sun!
I realised it was missing when we got back to the car.
Got home - phoned Telstra and disabled it, rang the police and reported it missing.
At 4.15pm I was scanning Ebay looking for a replacement when I got a call from Warilla police station to say it had been handed in.
Boy was I relieved! Should I buy a lottery ticket????

Winter Magic Festival Katoomba 2009

Not to mention when the night time came - the fire stick twirlers, the lights through the rain and mist (just happens to be the photo theme for this month) and then the fireworks.


I took quite a few photo's (like around 300!) I couldn't resist the faces, the costumes, rainbow colours and people having fun. Then there were the dogs dressed up (I was a bit worried about the kitten - that gentleman was definitely in 'another' place - you will be glad that I didn't include the one of him without his shirt - not nice!) and then there were the children.

 

The weather was a bit rainy but it was well worth the visit to Katoomba last weekend.
The rain held off for the parade and the arrival of the Blue Mountains Heritage Express steam train.
It was really colourful with most people dressing up (or down) for the occasion and here are some images of the day.

Biggest Garage Sale EVER

 

We love Dapto Markets.
Every Sunday morning at the Dapto Showground (Dog Track) people load up their junk (goodies) and set up shop.
I take along my 'granny trolley' and buy my fruit and veg along with usually lots of other good stuff.
I think my best bargain has been my brand new rice cooker for $5.
Brad reckons it was his $10 set of golf clubs!
This week Zara had her face painted - looked cute before it got rubbed off - and we added to her Care Bear collection.
She now has Funshine Bear and a set of twins - just like Mumma and Aunty Leelee.
It was fun!
