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 33: Off to Alstonville #Day2

Kicked off the day with some swimming at 8.30 (early because we had to check out by 10)

Showered and cleaned up in motel room ...

Played a game of Memory ...

Mum made us macadamia biscuits ...

And Jordan spent ages playing with a green mango ... hilarious to watch as it rolled oddly and she doggedly pursued it wherever it went ...

Watching TV

Getting ready for lunch ...

PICNIC! YAAAY!

My brother Steve and Jordan had some fun playing together ...

One final shot with Nanna

Up, up in the air looking over Ballina ...

Landing at Sydney ...

And in the taxi rank ...
