tour down under and 2011

Computer has been giving me trouble this year so have a new one. is a wonderful thing to get a new toy with sooo many gadgets on it to make life easy. Went to the Tour Down Under in the city on sunday. friends got us a spot in the shade on the king william road bridge. was fantastic atmosphere and best of all could see riders going in and out of the start. this is Cameron Myer the winner of 2011 tour.



This was our christmas tree. It's name is Roy Junior. I don't know if any of you have watched the tv show A Country Practice about an Australian town. one of the women on the show had a tree just like the one we have and she called him Roy. so we know have a two metre Roy and introduced Roy junior to the family this year. like to go to bunnings to buy a christmas tree because in our house could be anything from a pot of flowers to a citrus tree.



This is the new addition the the family Noah with our first addition to the family twelve years ago, Tan. He is a guide dog in training for the RSB Guide dog service. He is also the brother to Nellie. I think he is a horse disguised as a dog. very big boy. but he really is a very gently dog and is improving in his training. should be with us till july. His brother Nat and his sister Nina were taken into the full training program at the beginning of this year so with luck should be fully trained guide dogs by the end of the year.



Mum has done a bit of tiling in our kitchen. No lessons in how to do it just got the supplies and away she went. think she did a fantastic job. when we went to the tiling store had lots of choice but in the end this frieze with chickens was the best. always makes me smile when i see them. and also does good at stopping the wall from getting stains when dad makes his coffee on the stove in the mornings. lol



These are some of the beautiful flowers that have been blooming in our garden. the sunflowers are paper sunflowers which i bought while in byron bay last year. the rose is described as psychedelic colour. saw this in bunnings and loved it.
