8am so us at the mall, I usually walk there

on Tuesday and Thursday at 7.30am

We went to the play ground, no other children

Met with the walkers for coffee.
Everybody loved seeing Amelia.
She was a bit quiet and was more happy
when they left her alone.

had to have a drink too

and got up to do a bit of cleaning.

she was using her wet one to

wipe every single stool and chair.

The cleaning lady doing the tables thought

it was incredible that such a young child

was doing this.

Then we went to do the weekly

shopping.

she is checking the shopping list.

she had dropped the shopping list and

carry on with the box of washing powder.

The check out girl look at all the scribbles

on it and laugh.

Back home, nap, lunch

a bit of play on the deck.

I think that was telling me

that she needed a hat.

Then we went to Narrabeen.

feed bread to the birds.

and went to explore a new play ground.

Day one

Wednesday 28 April

Amelia woke up early this morning

but was quite happy playing in her cot

(or so I thought)

So I went and prepared the breakfast

before getting her up.

When she is up she want to be fed NOW.

Breakfast ready, I went to get her:

She was almost naked!

She had removed her PJ and was trying to

reach her slippers.

Luckily she did not try to remove her nappy

or it could have been a disaster.

Watching the birds eat the left over of her breakfast

Today we were supposed to explore a new park,
but I did not find it and we drove to DY, so
we went to Michaela park again.

This week I am having Amelia for

3 days.

This is day one.

Amelia only woke once during the night

lets hope she is better tonight!

Anzac long week end

Monday 26 April

Beautiful day but a bit crisp.

Good weather for walking.

We park at the top of Long Reef and walk

to Dee Why for the "Warringah Food and Wine fair"

Long Reef golf course.

I wonder how they could play, it was soooooo

windy.

We walk around the fair.

You had to get tickets for the wine:

3 tickets for $5 but you had to buy a

plastic glass for $5 also.

We did not see any thing we wanted to try

so we went to the Brazilian restaurant

" Coco Mar"

We both had one of their salad:

Salada de grao de bico.

(chickpeas, broccoli, pumpkin,sundried tomato,

fresh tomato, red onion,with a balsamic dressing)

I couldn't guess what herbs they put in it

but it was very nice (filling)

Then we walk back across the road to the fair

but decide to go and investigate the crowd on the rocks.

It was the Beachley surf classic,
the finals.

We saw Stephanie Gilmore

and Sally Fitzgibbons

They were near the rocks

Claude standing back not to get wet.

Sally was winning but Steph got another wave

and beat her in the last minutes.

Lynne Beachley was there to

give the trophies and the man next

to her to give the cheque of US$ 20 000
to the winner

Sally, 19y was saying that she has enough

of always coming second.

Poor girl she was winning for so long to be

beaten right at the end.

Stephanie Gilmore, 22y

world champion for the 3rd time.

Both girls are Australian.

Sally, Lynne and Stephanie.

We had a very good day, watching the surfing

for the first time for us. We thought that the

finals was yesterday so it was ans added bonus to our day.

Then we had to walk all the way back to Long Reef.

Mt Wilson

Saturday 24 April

Anzac day long week end

Beautiful day 27 degrees
I packed up a nice lunch to have a pic nic

We are at Mt Wilson in the Blue mountains

to look at the colourful trees.
We went for an advertised walk
about a giant tree....
When we arrived we found out that
the tree was striked by lightening
in 2008 and was now dead!

Mt Wilson main road.

one street had gate with leaves patterns

( click on picture to see better)

The first time we went to Mt Wilson

was when Shane broke his arm.

The boys fund it fun to play in

the dead leaves, so did I.

souvenirs of my youth in France.

lots of gardens were open to the public.

When we were having our lunch, lots of

people started to arrived.

By the time we came back from the giant tree

and tree ferns walk, they were putting up tents.

We hadn't realised that we were in a camping ground.

Boy! they must have froze at night fall.
