Sally and the Alpaca

My last full day in Sydney today. I headed out to Penrith to catch up with my friend Fiona then out to Blaxland in the beautiful Blue Mountains to see Sally.
We had a good old natter, coffee and a fantastic lunch in Wentwerth Falls.  We then headed into Leura for a nosey around the gorgeous shops. I could have bought so much, especially the blankets. Can't think what I would have needed from the Alpaca Shop, except for a photo of Sal and an alpaca!!

Home to Melbourne tomorrow.

A trip to see Mr Shuffles

well, am in Sydney now and can I just say, Sydney - are you trying to take Melbourne's "4 seasons in one day" tag off us?!!!
Yesterday we headed to the Taronga Zoo. It has to be one of my most exciting days on holidays!!
A gorgeous video will be posted when I get home to my camera cord, but for the time being, here's my favourite man - Mr Shuffles.

And I had to get myself a "Take Home Mr Shuffles" when I left the zoo (oh so grown up for a 33 year old to buy a stuffed toy!!)

Off to the Blue Mountains tomorrow to see Sally...yippee!!

Uh oh

January 3

Another Lazy Day...is this how 2011 will continue?

So, today has been another delightful 2011 day. Woke up to blue skies and warm sunshine.
As every Sunday should begin, I headed off for coffee and the Sunday paper.
Was pleased to read my horoscope that last year is well behind me and it's going to be a productive year. Jan 4 is set to be a great day, so says the Sunday Telegraph!!
We'll see.
Headed off to a Psychic Fair in Southport, amazingly a psychic told a mother her 9 year old will do many things in her life. Who's have thought it!!
Off to the beach for a chase of little blue crabs then in the car attempting to get to Seaworld, only to run into teenager central heading to a music festival. Apparently matching t-shirts for friends are the way t go.
Must check fashion sense when I get home!!
Anyway, a lazy swim, finished reading my Christmas book and am ready for dinner to celebrate my last night as a 32 year old.
Yippee...

New Year's Day 2011

So, the scary day is here. The day where we all say "I can't believe it's a new year again!".
We are up on the "GOLD" Coast. It's not so Gold today though.
The drizzly rain set in hours ago and shows no sign of letting up.
We had a swim in the pool though this morning. Threw some random children around.
(must remember to not start a game if you don't want to continue it for the next hour!)
Anyway, Laurie and I got to wear our new "towel dresses" which work a treat.

Last night we wandered into town to watch the fireworks. 10 minutes of booms, oohs and aahs!!

So, the next few days will consist of reading my new book, more relaxing, swimming and a trip to Wet 'n Wild to celebrate my, uhum, 33rd birthday.
Ouch!
