Ain’t she sweet

Not much to report around here but I just had to share this photo if Rosie. It’s been raining here the last few days, today we had sunshine and I was lucky enough to get out for a walk with Rosie and later to spend some time in the veggie garden. It’s started raining again now(I can hear thunder and Belle has just wondered in for a sook) and we’re supposed to get rain for the next few days. Hmm…I wonder if the weather man realizes that it’s February…. in the Southern Hemisphere that usually means lots of sun….

Just for a laugh – the following photos are from Amy’s photo shoot with the guinea pigs – according to her they are wearing their bling.

Family Day Out at the Aquarium

Well, today Kevin turns 37 and it was our monthly Family Day Out. We used a gift certificate that Amy had received for the Sydney Aquarium.  We all had a wonderful day and I hope it was a nice birthday for Kevin.

Friday Night Basketball

We’ve been lucky this basketball season and nearly all of the games have been on Friday night. We’ve taken the girls the last 2 weeks since Nan & Pop were away. They seemed to enjoy more than last year. I guess their a bit older and more capable of sitting relatively still for a few hours. The poor Hawks have not had a great season and due to bad financial management it looks like they won’t even have a team next year…. Such a shame. We’ve been season ticket holders for a few years now and were back before we had kids as well. I will really miss going to the games, and spending that time with Kevin.

A change in the weather

 Well, it’s the first of February, supposedly the hottest, most humid month of the year – the month when I REALLY don’t like the weather. Yesterday was shockingly hot but then a storm came through late and today I awoken to this view.

overcast

Looks more like the start of Autumn – I even wore a jacket on my bike ride this morning. Still I know it won’t last so I plan on enjoying it while it lasts.  I’m just back from the gym – all hot and sweaty after doing my upper body workout. I don’t normally go on Fridays and I know why – it was rather busy. I’ve just finished my post-gym protein shake and am off to have a shower. Cheers!!!
