July 31st Sydney

Centrepoint Sydney. Last time we were here a guy was arrested for abseiling it...
Are big...

Long stemmed roses, couldn't resist them...



A friend of mine sent a few rose petals in a letter - good thing they spotted this MASSIVE security risk...


Get your Angels here...

I only noticed these lovely woody 'stamps' on the bottoms of Mangosteen fruits today...

Great if you can get it...


Shopping Arcade Sydney Centre...


Pedal Powered Eco Taxis around the city.

Some moments from 28th July 2009

My Aussie mate Carol, we met in Singapore 20 years ago - YIKES!
I didn't have any dishwasher tablets and put a weeny squirt of washing up liquid in the machine - my advice - don't ;O)

The floor got a good soaking too...


Stowaway with Colin the Concierge at Westpac Bank Sydney...

Our current wine store :O)

Where have all the Followers Gone???

Interesting development. I noticed that follower Number 10 arrived in the followers box but then all Followers disappeared from my List - you can see on the left hand side that the Followers Box is now empty. This has nothing to do with the fish I have added - the Followers List disappeared before I added them - unless, perhaps, the fish are carnivorous and have eaten my friends eeeeeeeeeeeeek - are you still out there...talk to me...

Anyone else have this problem with their Blog??

For those who know - I DON'T THINK SO - HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA...

This was the day the butterflies landed on us - here's one on Max...



A brooch for me - the poor wings are finished...
Another on my tee shirt, they were on my head, my back, everywhere. This is always happening to me, butterflies must like my shampoo or something. Today was the last day of Max's school holidays and we promised him a day out with us - We enjoyed it as much as he did :O)
