Cleaning the pergola

Sunday1 December

 

 The roof of our pergola opens and closes

 But even open it still get very dirty.

We are on the flight path of the sugar bats.

Claude and I cleaned it with Shane's electric water jet.

It did a very good job.



Lunch at Palm Beach

Friday 30 November

 

We went to Hornby to drop

the advent calendar for the kids

for tomorrow.

And pick up Shane's

water pressure cleaning tool.

 

Jo was not home but had left us

a note with directions to the

park were she was with the

children and her friends.

 

We went to see them....

 

AND I FORGOT TO TAKE SOME PHOTOS.

 

 

 We had lunch at the Boat Shed in Palm beach.

 A nice big garden salad and a glass of wine

to celebrate Claude first day of his holidays.

 After lunch we went for a long walk to the end of the beach

And we walk back on the ocean side



Ride to the Armory and picnic

Sunday 25 November

 

 

It is a very hot day.

 

The last few week we have been going

to concerts and restaurants.

So today a bike ride was planned.

 I had packed up a picnic which we ate

at the Armory under a shady tree

We spent 1 hour there resting,

but we had to ride back to the car parked

in the bi centennial park.

 

We had a lovely day, did not go fast,

just a relaxing day in the fresh (hot) air.

Amelia is dacing

I have not done a blog for sooooooooooo long

A lot has been happening.

 

Amelia had her first concert

But Claude and I did not go.

The ticket were too pricey

for the couple of minutes

she was on stage.

 

Here are few photos of Jo's 

Trying on the make up.
She has huge eye like her daddy.
Christopher used to call Shane
"googly eyes"
(Oh brother love)

Trying on the costume

here is Pebble

 

with her little friends

waiting in the wing to go on stage.

 

the 2 last photos were taken on stage

by a photographer.

I copied them with difficulty from

the website.

 

Mykaela dressed for her school play.

 

I went to see her but was too far away to take photos

Glebe Fair

Sunday 18 November

 

 

Claude has been asking me to planned our week end.

So far we went to quite a few fair.

But I think this is it.

It was fun but a bit the same.

 

 

 

We arrived in Glebe just in time for lunch.

We went to a Mexican beer garden.

 

 

 lots of stalls, I bought a dress in one and a top in another.

I was going to buy a hat but the guy was serving

everybody around me but not me. So I left. No hat.

there was 3 stages.

we stopped and listen a few time.

 

 some young men were running jumping over people

 it was a bit scary to watch

and more people down

 when the jumping crowd went

the dancers arrived

 

 We went to have a look around.

We spotted our next lunch destination.

 

Nice day, very hot but windy.

Next week Claude is choosing the outing

 





Newtown Festival

Sunday 11 November

 

My sister Alice birthday

 

 

We went to Newtown for their festival.

 

There was a HUGE market, so many

things to see and buy.

Lot of food stand too.

A huge children area with all different

rides and activities.

And 3 stages with live music.

 

 We saw this Huge car in the street of Newtown

 The festival in

Camperdown memorial rest park.

(yes next to the cemetery)

We sat on the grass eating our lunch

some Turkish stuff, nice.

The music was nice but we got too hot.

so we moved to the next stage under the shade cloth.

this was at the second stage

The kids were very good

It say on the program: Expect the unexpeced

A brilliant line of local acts.

something that I have never seen before

(I don't go out much.)

a little trailer with and ATM machine.

The queue was very long, this is what made

me look what they were queuing for.

 

 

3rd stage

People everywhere you turn to.

Every one was having a good time.

The park was heavily patrol, you were not allowed

alcohol in but they were selling some.

The bags were search at the entrances.

Also there was a ban on the sale of

bottle water, they had "water refill stations".

And for once I did not take a picnic so

I was quite thirsty by the time I found something

to my liking.
