Dee Why beach early on Sunday

Sunday 28 August

Quarter to nine

We are already at the beach.

I thought we would be the only one but it was full

so many people.

 The only parking spot we found was on top

of the headland. We had forgotten that today

was the PUB to PUB race and that they

started at DY.

 run grand dad run

 We went to Michaela park

Amelia had a play while grand dad

went to get the coffee.

hum, it taste good 

 and then we went for a walk around the lake

she  still had plenty of energy to burn 

Do you like my poncho?

 She wanted to play on the beach.

building a sand castle

 digging with her feet

 sliding down the dune

We collected few stones for the garden.

Amelia decided where to put them.

 now playing ball with a balloon

 Shane is showing his black nail polish

An early start

Sunday 28 August

Shane dropped Amelia late yesterday afternoon.

They are going to a Trivia night.

Well here she is at 10 past 6AM

having breakfast.

 Then she went to our bed.....

Grand dad had to read her a story.

She has a couple of favourite books and we have

to read them on and on. She even test us to make

sure we give her the same answer

 then we had to hide from the bear

ouf,... 8.30 enough lying in up and reading the other book

I hope Jo and Shane are having a good sleep in.

We are going to the beach to tire her out.



A perfect day

Friday 26 August

A perfect day

For the past few days it has been in the 20 degrees

So this morning I packed up a picnic and we

headed to the mall first to do a bit of shopping.

(father's day presents).

Then we went to Palm beach.

The tide was very low. We walk on the bay side

out of the wind.

 We had a picnic on the rocks and after

 we went back to the beach to sunbathe for 2 hours

 our car was parked near a big clunk of bird of

paradise flowers.

Then we headed back to Newport

to collect more stones.

 on Newport beach I found those 2 shark eggs.

In a few days I will see Mykaela so I will

ask her if she want them for show and tell

at school.

 the man hole is almost covered with the stones.

Maybe another trip.....

In the late afternoon I went to Pilate as the

sun was coming down

End of a perfect day.

Yesterday

Thursday 25 August

It was Jo's birthday. We met Shane, Jo, Mykaela, Amelia, Joshua

 and Jo's dad and grand mother at an Indian restaurant in Hornby.

  I had forgotten my camera.

Jo's grand mother had made another of her

gorgeous cake, yum yum. It was looking

and testing divine.

I missed a good photo shot:

Imagine:

Amelia with a nice sleeveless summer dress,

underneath a jumper, leggings and pink rubber boots.

She thought she was beautiful and was showing her dress

and twirling.

She has a big opinion of what

she want to wear.

I would have like a photo to show her later

when she become a fashion addict. 



Warringah - Pittwater walkway / cycleway

Warringah - Pittwater

Walkway / cycleway

Sunday 21 August

The morning did not start too good.

I was feeling very low.

So I packed up lunch and we went

to blow the cobwebs.

 The new section is not open to the public yet

But that did not stop us (and others)

 here we passed on the side and climb

over a fence

time to time they have on display

some art forms

 the remnant of a concrete boat!!!!

 the lake

Claude looking for a way to jump the gully

without falling in. It was easier the other way.

 This is the only part which is not completed.

a pedestrian bridge.

It has been like that for more than 4 months

 the creek is very wide at this spot before

going into the lake.

 this is on the Pittwater side.

It is a lovely bushy walk, but muddy

when it rained.

Warringah did not have a pathway

until now.They are planning to make it

all around the lake.

It was market day at Narrabeen.

We went in to get some

fig jam.

I saw those lady bird, my friend was

 looking for one for her grand daughter.

So I send her an e mail with this photo
