Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 337: More storms and Bridget

Fell in love with pears and raspberries ( leftover from Steve's divinely yummy raspberry coulis that he used on my birthday cake on Saturday night) today ... before another storm rolled in (the latest in a long line) just as I was heading out to a combined birthday dinner and movie with Bridget in Newtown. By the time we reached Newtown, the water was ridiculously high but we managed to find a park and not get sploshed by buses racing past on King Street - I leapt delicately out of the way at one point much to Bridget's amusement) - before heading in to see Nightcrawler with dinner at Happy Chef afterwards. Bridget also very sweetly took me in to HUM and told me to pick out anything I wanted as a present. A wonderful, fabulous night ...






Thank you for my present Bridget!!

And Rachel sent me a pic of her and my mum and Jordan celebrating Nanna's retirement home Christmas at mum and dad's place because Nanna doesn't like the formal events ...




And here's a fabulous shot of Amie and Noah ... just gorgeous ...

Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 261: Hitchcock-ian walk

Another early morning, another walk and this time I noticed a ton of birds on the power lines in Wilson Street waiting to descend on the pile of breadcrumbs left every morning by one of the cafe owners ... all very The Birds-like ...






And saw Wish I Was Here which was wonderful at Dendy Newtown ...

Meanwhile Zara and Bodhi had a fun cousins day out, with my sisters in tow of course, at the annual House With No Steps fete ...
