Zoo-Groovin

What a surprise! Robin had a three day weekend! So on Saturday we got the house cleaned, bought groceries, Sunday was church in the morning and we ran away early to go play at the beach, it was a bit windy but the ocean smelled so good! Monday, we spent the entire day walking the Perth Zoo, a very nice zoo, but I think that the Calgary Zoo is better put together and a bit bigger. My silly blog is being weird and not letting me upload photos, so I will try to later

Nothing New

Well, it has been fairly quiet, not much going on, just lots of walking. I do love my new craft cutter I got, the SD Silhouette by quickutz. I have been in the making of christmas count down cubes, I need to take some photos and post my crafts and such on here, I always seem to forget though. So I am going to work on them and when I am done I will post them! Happy blogging everyone!

Nothing Much New

Well there really hasn't been anything new going on this side of the world, walking and taking photos of the birds, trees & plants. Still wanting to go to the zoo soon, or to a park with the kangaroos. Robin has been working, and that is about it for him, he may have to go offshore on sunday night, and he isn't sure for how long, so I could be by myself for a few days to a few weeks, hopefully it is only a few days.

Head Cold In July

Well, the rain has finally stopped!! Thank goodness, I was starting to get cabin fever. I gave a talk on sunday in church which went very well. Robin was at home sick with the stomache flu, so I drove to church all by myself. Which was kinda scary because I got comfortable and forgot what side of the road I should drive on when I had to turn, so I waited until I saw someone coming on the road I had to turn on. I unfortunately I also got a head cold, going on day 3 now, so I have been keeping up on my vitamin C, drinking lots of water & getting lots of sleep. Here are some winter photos of Australia, the birds were very fun to visit, until some naughty kids along and chased them away and teased the black swans, which was a stupid thing to do, luckily no one got bitten, but after they left I didn't have any birds to visit or take photos of, so I went home.

These are some cute little local girls feeding the birds, which they are not suppose to unless its worms or snails, but they are giving them bread which gives the birds stomache aches.

The beautiful black swan of Western Australia, I have seen a few of these at different places in the city.

Rain, Rain, Rain & More Rain

Well it has been raining & thunderstorming for two days, so I haven't been able to get out of the house because I do not have a umbrella or a rain jacket, and when it rains here it down pours, no light drizzles. I went and bought a second hand sewing machine, its a Singer Futura 1000. Silly me forgot to buy scissors & pins, I bought a pattern, fabric & thread, so I am hoping the rain will let up enough to let me walk to Belmont Forum or enough for me too find a fabric store.

Trying to sleep with all this rain is a trying task, there is no insulation in the houses so we can hear everything going on outside, it sounds like there is wind all around you and that the rain will actually get in the house. So I grabbed my iphone and loaded music on it that helped me fall alseep at home when Robin wasn't there, it was nice because I couldn't hear the storm happening outside. I will take some photos of my sewing machine and the weather and post them later.

Dinner Is a Success!!!

So my made up recipe was a success with the hubby last night, which was good, now I need to think of what to make for tonight! I also want to make some cupcakes, so I guess I should go buy a cupcake pan & forms. Yesterday I was brave again and took the bus to Morley, another suburb in Perth, I found a store I looked up on the internet before I came over, Galaxy beads, so I am excited to start making jewellery again, It will give me something to do!! Right now I need to get to the Belmont Forum so I can buy what I need today. Here are some more photos from our park that is 5 houses away from us.

Cold Outside???

Well, things have been great here so far, its getting apparently "colder", the low at nights is -1 celsius and highs during the day has been anywhere from +15 - +20 celsius, the ladies at church think that I am crazy that I wear no stockings, and a short sleaved shirt. I have had to learn about public transportation! I have never had to take a bus before, so it was very scary, but exciting at the same time. I took the bus downtown to the Every Womens Expo, which was pretty fun, it was a good way to learn about what the city has to offer.

Other than that I have been at home, trying to think of things to make for dinner, but I have been running out of ideas!
