Early train ride from Newcastle of a Sunday morning... my it takes a while. And crossing he bridge to the Aquarium in Sydney.
Bridge views
Fish and dugongs - impressive when viewed from below, eh?
The Non and Daddy under a sleeping Wobegong shark. And a VERY sleepy turtle
Hot chocolate and very small kangaroo tattoos (no, not a smear of chocolate) and an orb spider.
Er... slightly larger spider... and slightly larger snake ;) Very friendly creatures, these.
Frilled necked lizard and Joanna the goana
Dentist check...
Sleeping Quoll! And waking Wombat! Everyone who pased by here was saying wow, it's awake, amazing, never seen one that isn't fast asleep.
and yes, they're very strong creatures.... can even carry a Non.
SOOOO glad to see and hear all of you! What Super pics, and this is coming from someone who has tried and tried without success to take good aquarium pics- never so lovely as yours, always blurred or crying going on somewhere. Not to mention on the beach- don't know which ones are more lovely, the one of you (spectacular!) or the picture postcard of Ian and Lara, the one of her running reminds me of one of Leo's (only I guess a bit of a heftier bump at the end) and Leo and Little LOVED the snake and spider (ALLIGATOR! said Nea)- seems like a lovely place, the harbor and all the lovely scenery... Have to download these at last and print some out for the wall, it's ridiculous how few pics I have printed out. Seems you7re havin' a fantastic time, Non looks happier than ever, sweetie pie! It's funny how Nea now reminds me of Non with her bangs up and the same hair-do, Nea's is getting a lot too long to handle and I have to take the scissors out sooner or later but can't quite bring myself to do it, she screams so much to have her hair washed it's something frightful and the other day got gum in it at the park ( I don't know, they should ban those things) a whole clump came out. Where was I... gradually getting the snots down to normal, hope that Leo won't get it now that Mexico is coming up, Leo is excited he won't have any work for a whole week!!! Ecstasy. (for me too frankly)
ReplyDeleteSo is it still cold in the house? Hope everything is well and hope to talk a tad before the end of July, I know you must be busy, give me a hint if you ever feel bored enough to chat! For this week we are just mooching around doing this and that, bit of car repair, beach, soccer and library, then next week Leo is off to his much waited for mad science camp, then we're off, everyone can't wait for a bit of change. Guess I'd better leave you here and thank you so much for the many enjoyable and lovely pics!
