Going Away

Im off to Northern NSW for five days, I will catch up on my daily photo’s next week

Bye for now

Day Nine

Today was Ekka show day (Brisbane Exhibition Show) and our schools on the Sunshine Coast get a public holiday.  Tess didn't go to work experience today as she has had a really bad cough.  So at lunchtime she was feeling better and as I had both the girls home which is a rarity  I suggested some photo’s.  We decided to go down to Mapleton Falls which is a few km’s from our house. Unfortunately the sun wasn't in the best position but we had fun and I took a heap of photo’s

I don't know why they felt the need to wear makeup I think it’s a bit heavy but I didn't hassle them over it.

This is the view from the lookout. It looks out west over  the  Obi Obi Valley, how I would love to live down there.

It’s really difficult to photograph the actual falls and there wasn't a lot of water flowing. I would like to go out after we have had a lot of rain.

Just up the road from the falls we found a shed so the girls posed in front of it lol.

 

Lucy wanted me to put a photo on my blog of her and her best friend so here they are lol

These are photo’s for their my space so no smiles lol

Bye for now

Day Eight

For the chocolate lovers.  Wayne’s Mudcake Delight and delightful it is. 

Dance Eisteddfod Photo’s

Although the eisteddfod was way back in May I finally got some photo’s of Tess performing her solo.  I got some ones that shows her costume as the lady who made it is putting a book together with all her designs.  Tess danced beautifully she received the same score as the girl who got a highly commended but she didn't get one , so go figure out that one lol .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These photo’s were taken by  Greg Miller from Greg Miller Photography in Buderim, he always takes the Sunshine Coast eisteddfod photo’s. 

Up until last week Tess hadn't danced since the day she did her solo.  She started at a new school last week and absolutely loves it.  It’s fantastic to see her so enthusiastic to dance again.  The new school is Sunshine Coast Performing Arts Centre or known as SCPAC in Caloundra it’s amazing, the studio’s are state of the art (and air conditioned lol her old school was in an industrial shed with no air conditioning)  .  The downside is it’s a 40 minute drive there and we have to do it four times a week.  I guess it wont be long and she can drive herself.  I'm so looking forward to the next few months to see how see goes.

DAY SEVEN

 

 

 

I work in a bakery so thought I would take some photo’s at work.  I was really hoping the baker had made his beautiful mud cakes but it was not to be, maybe tomorrow.

DAY SIX

I was hoping that sometime over the weekend I would be able to get a couple of photos of Tess and Lucy together.  I havent  taken a photo of the both of them for a long time.  Tess was out all day yesterday, then Lucy left just after Tess got home last night to spend the night at a friends place and is still not back.  The light has gone now so I had to nag Tess to let me take some photo’s of her.  She really didn't want her photo taken so smiles were kept to a minimum

 

 

DAY FIVE

I didn't take any photo’s today, well I took one tonight of the chicken soup that I lovingly made and it didn't look very nice , actually it looked really gross lol.  Yeah I know I still should have used that photo.  Then in desperation I took a photo of the TV that showed the cricket and in the small square on the bottom the Rugby union the Wallabies playing the Spring box I was watching both while I did the ironing last night but that photo didn't really work either. 

Then when Tony came home from Toogoolawah this afternoon he gave me a disc of racing photo’s that a friend of ours Steve Hilton had taken.  Steve takes photo’s for the American Magazine Dusty Times.  I mentioned to him when we were in Alice Springs that in all the years I've known him I had never seen any of the photo’s he has taken.  So now I have lol. So my photo for today is actually Steve’s photo’s of Tony racing at Mildura a couple of weeks ago.  Tony came second in his class and ninth outright.
