Hi Mum,

This afternoon we have been out in the garden

this is "fuzzy" me with the red rose bush!! 

and the clematis is in flower....

and here is where Sue has been clearing the weeds..

and this is where she was going to continue weeding but she saw a copper head snake near tree trunk so decided that was enough weeding for one day!!  Luckily the snake was gone when we went over for a look!

Inside Sue's husband had been busy doing a pastel painting from a photo....Squab and I quite liked it! 

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

How are you?? I am good here 
Today we went to Ballarat and had a walk around the lake...it was cloudy and gray and windy and cold and I wanted to stay in the travel bag!!


This lake is 6km around....not long ago it was dry and you could walk across it!!  That was when we were in drought....but now the lake is almost over flowing! There are lots of water birds living here now.


Off for a warm drink now Mum

Hi Mum,

Today we have driven around the coast to Queenscliff. This is an old town, used to be a popular holiday place in the 1800's and is again now. There is an old but still used fort built in the late 1800's, good beaches, good places to eat and lots of old houses to look at.

this is the harbour beach



here is the black light house



this is part of the old fort


and this is the white light house


and this is the surf beach

Hey Mum!!

Guess what happened today!! It was very exciting!! And scary!!!  And good fun!! 
We watched Sidney L achieve a Life Mission!!  How exciting is that!!!  He got to fly with a balloon...he had a trial flight inside then went outside.....at one stage he got untethered and flew up into a tree..... ...Sue's heart rate went through the roof!!! Luckily the family came out and helped get Sidney L down!! Phew!!  Later he flew by and asked if I wanted to go for a flight..

I was quite happy watching....I didn't want to be swept up into a tree!!! But as it turned up I was a little too heavy and could only have a low level flight, but I did manage to do some spins!!  Pretty clever huh!!

See me spinning?? 

Soon we were all back in the travel bag safe and sound....Sidney has a lot to chat about now!!!

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,
Today we are in the city for a quick visit

this is an old theatre

this is a display of hand made poppies for Remembrance Day, some are knitted, some are crocheted some are felted. Two ladies have appealed to crafts people to make poppies, their project is called 5000  poppies Sue and her friend have made some so we had a look at the display.

then at 11oclock the traffic was stopped and the bugler played the Last Post and we had a minutes silence to remember the people lost in the wars.

this is Flinders Street Railway Station...the main station for the city trains

this is the back of St Pauls Cathedral, a lovely quiet courtyard

and here goes a tram...they are a bit noisy!!

we found some graffiti in a lane way

I hope to get back to the city one day Mum so we can show you more!

Love and hugs

Hi Mum,

The weather is better this morning, so we are taking the dog for a walk in the park

I think we have shown you this before Mum, but it is carved with a chainsaw from old tree stumps and represents the local Australian Rules football club, the Bulldogs.

and here is Gardiner Oval, where the football and cricket are played

over the creek we go

to the old part of the park where the big old oak trees are. 

Love and hugs
MooseS
