Time of year for the agapanthus to bloom, lovely to have some blooming at last in my front yard again.

time for playing with kids and shopping of course it can't be long till Christmas waiting around on the way to a fire nee naa nee naa this looks interesting...

Many thanks for the wonderful provision of fresh fruit around us for dancing ladies and agapanthus flowering a rainy misty morning...looking out over Mt Cootha from my morning walk cheerful bougainvillea and poinciana blooms for highways and freeways and byways for the rain, even though it was very heavy in patches, and not very heavy in other places Greetings and a Happy Thanksgiving to you from Sippy Downs, Australia.

bye beautiful Dicky Beach it was such fun to be there jumping in the waves buying ice creams and fish and chips watching the action on the beach I'll miss you, but I am sure we'll be back.

It is always fun to play outside in the back yard in Australia, especially when you are used to living in an apartment. and look the roadworks even came to visit our street, just as Mummy and Daddy wanted to shift some stuff to their new house. Mummy decided a new beach house was in order before all t...

the beach which had been fairly quiet during the week, heated up a little during the weekend. some parachuters arrived a couple of times some bluebottles also visited on the afternoon tide, this onee seemed particularly large and nasty so we stayed out of the water and played on the beach.

it was off to uni the other day where the lifestyle is pretty relaxed a wonderful installation to catch up with while Mummy had her interview 1000 leaves by Elizabeth Poole (I think)
