Hand gliders

Sunday 27 July

 

Shane, Jo and the children left early.

Shane is leaving for 3 weeks in China

tomorrow morning and he still had to do some

washing before packing up.

 

It was nice and sunny so we went

for a walk at Long Reef.

There was a lot of hand gliders.

I did not have my camera so

I took a couple of photos

with my small phone.

 

 



Minding the children: Sunday

Sunday 27 July

 

the children were awake at 6am.

Claude got up to make the coffee.

Amelia came to my bed and promptly fell

back asleep, Joshua stay in his bed

and went back to sleep.

I did not know what was going up.

Claude came with the coffee,

he could not come into the bed as

Amelia was asleep and I did not want

to move her, He went back downstairs

 

Finely Amelia is up, but Joshua is sleeping on

Amelia is wearing the dressing gown

grand dadad chose for her

few year ago, the arms are starting to get short.

I remember that shopping day:

It had to be pretty, girlie and no bright colours.

 

Claude and Amelia left to go to Manly to the park

and to the beach.

I stayed home as Joshua is still sleeping.

He woke up at 10 to 10 am.

 

I was looking in a drawer full of children clothing.

I knitted this jumper  for Shane.

Joshua try it on and did not want to remove it.

 

I had planned to do this with Amelia

but she and grand dad have disapeared

Vegemite and cheese scrolls

Joshua spread the vegemite (I help to smooth it thinNER)

 

He sprinkle all the grated cheese,

and I roll it up, cut it, Joshua put them

on the baking tray

 

They are back.

Getting rid of the sand.

 

Shane and Jo arrived a short ime after

for lunch.

They had breakfast near DY beach

and then a stoll on the beach.

 

Shane is cutting our wood.

all the wood we had left are too

big for our coper fireplace.

 

Shane got the right tool for it.

A birthday present.

Minding the grand children: Saturday

Saturday 26 July

 

Around lunch time, Shane and Jo dropped the kids

for a sleep over.

Shane and Jo are going for a lunch at a friend for

Christmas in July,

And tonight they are going to trivia.

 

 

 

After lunch we play some games.

Amelia made that one up, the rule keep on changing...

 

Joshua having a rest while Amelia explained

to grand dadad

 

keeping the score

We had a big discussion

about one hundred and hundred,

she was not happy with my

explanation that they are written the same

 

The sky was covered with big clouds but

we risked it and went to the park.

 

and then to the oval to play ball.

somehow the children end up very muddy.

 

when we got home they went straight

to the bath

 

after a lot of arguments, she let me put her hair up.



new dishwasher

While Christopher and Tina were here

our dishwasher packed up, full.

I had to do the dishes by hand.

Funny enough I did not mind.

I founded it relaxing.

 

 

new dishwasher

 

 

the last Asco we had lasted 19 years so the

salesman told Claude that he won't have to buy

another dishwasher !!!



transport on the island

Most of the people on the island owned a golf cart

last time we came they were using wheelborrows

to carry their shopping from the ferry to their home,

some still do. There is few cars, old bomb.

 



Scotland Island

Wednesday 23 July

 

Christopher dream was to buy a house on

Scotland Island. And he is still talking

about it. So we went to have a look at

the houses for sale.

 

It was a lovely cool sunny day.

As we are in the Pittwater shire we have to pay

for the parking. So we parked a bit further away

where it was free and walk to the ferry.

 



 

on our way we saw these big wave of army crabs

 

One of the ferry was called

Amelia K

So I told the skipper that it was my

grand daughter's name

but we took the other ferry to go to the island

and came back on the Amelia K

 



 

arrived

 

this is the pre-school, it is owned by KU children Services

which I worked for. I went to it a couple of time for

in service.

 

We had our picnic in the park.

There is no shops, no cafe on the island

 

you have to be fit to live there

 

some of the houses for sale

 

 

 



 

yes fitness is a must

 

 

 

at the landing to take the ferry on the island

they have a library of sort, a shelf high up

on the wall. I had a pick at the type of books

on the shelf
