Dog park fun

This is Jess - having a break from the rigors of a hard core session at the dog park... Luck she came back for more frisbee action soon after this shot was taken.

Cruisy kids

Went for a drive to drop off some papers and test Andrew newly installed engine (don't ask)... the furkids came - this is a photo of them patiently waiting in the car while we bought dinner (noodles).

Sundaze BBQ

Today we had a couple of little visitors (well 2 big ones and one little) to share the sunny skies (and cool breezes)  with us.

We were delighted to have Yvonne,Sean and the BABY visit us from the (far) south-side for a BBQ lunch. Even better -after lunch  the girls went and had a "spot" of shopping..... It was baby's first girly shop (seeing as we had already looked at TVs with the boys and ate KFC at Carindale the day before).

Purchases included a DUMMY (only for the plane), a baby carrier (think babybjorn and I shouted Caitlin a baby hair brush and comb seeing as her parent let her leave the house with bed hair!!! The indignities!!!

Meanwhile the boys were doing welding, grinding and other grease monkey types of work back at home in the garage.

I think a happy SUN-DAY had by all!

BBQ lunch included Kangaroo Steak, of which I purchased the non marinated version for the first time and REALLY enjoyed it. This will be going on the shopping list again!

In other news, I have managed to feed an addiction, of late, to TV. Have been watching a number of series including Kylie XY, Gossip Girl, and the latest is Reaper ( thanks Dibbz).

Oh yeah and I have spent some time trying to find something to jazz up this blog... After much searching this is the template I settled on. Hope ya like it!!! It was really hard to find something funky yet not over the top, and I was so over the previous set-up... Hopefully this one works ok.... Good Oh! Back to work tomorrow - JOY! At least I have this Friday off for a wedding and THEN Andrew goes to Fraser so I have the house to myself (with the pets of course....) The only bummer will be that I have to do some STUDY! Jacarandas are blooming and exams are looming - is that how the saying goes? I lurve a jacaranda.... Up there with the frangipani (live - not stuck on the rear window of your car).... ciao-4-now.

Swifty

Had to share this SWIFT moment, visiting Pillow Talk at Windsor I came out to see 3 swifts in a ROW (ok maybe not the most uncommon occurance - but it entertained me....) !!

50 dorra

After pondering the prospect of more freezer space, visiting a few outlets, and then eagerly awaiting the "cost price plus 3%" sale at a local retravision; I came to the conclusion that I don't want to spend upwards of $500 on additional freezer real-estate.

An idle browse through the weekend shopper came up with the goods - a dude in the next suburb with a 120 litre freezer on the market.

Bargained him down from $75 to $50 and I was the proud owner of a NEW (to me) freezer! Just hope it continues to work......

mmm ... Ribs!

Today we went down to Sean & Yvonne's to celebrate Caitlin's 30 days on planet earth...

We ate yummo pork ribs - and look at those delicious sides (my contributions) of garden salad, mint & parsley baby pots and coleslaw (and asparagus - yummo!!).

Delicious!!! 

Grill'd

Today we went to grill'd cos we were hungry and I wanted something different. I thought it was ok. But maybe a rip off, for 2 burgers, fried and a drink = thirty something dollars.

Chippies....

Study day

While frantically utlising adrenalin to finish an assignment - this is what the animals were up to... cat-dog-couch-lurve....

Work lunch

Dog pond

Today we bought one of those clam shell things for the puppies. 

We were not sure how we would go - considering neither were fond of baths etc. But i think we found success when we found jess laying down in it....

Here is jess chilling out - staring at Bella in the graden actually!

Too much milk

We went down to the new parent's house and took dinner with us - which was very convenient... Andrew got some beef ribs from the local butcher and I complemented with corn on the cob, coleslaw, garden salad and a hot potato salad... A regular southern style feast! 

Of course I got to give my favourite niece a cuddle or too. Despite the fact that she was a cranky little hungry girl....

Cranky Cat

This is Bella. If looks could kill :-) This is my first official blog from my new phone - woo hoo!!

Newness

Oh and I got a new phone - the cheapest prepay phone that the three shop had. I am a bit impressed with it though.

One of the features is the ability to "blog" on the go.... hence there additional picture blogs to follow VERY shortly.....

I am slack....

I don't deserve a blog - too slack... maybe I will try and make an effort.

I should be writing an essay on management - due too soon, but instead I am stuffing around on my pc - YAY!!

Well I am an aunt.... Caitlin has very recently found her LUNGS! Rar!!

G'day Princess!!

Astro is now 6 months old - and has become a man - one could say!!

And last but not least Jess-ka is a wonderful role-model / older-fur-sister ...

Oh ... and I almost forgot WE (yes I am dragging Andrew out of the country) are going to Japan next March! YAY!!!
