We received a December count down calendar and here I am opening the 3rd.  I do hope theres a photo
of all the family, even if there isnt, we love all the photos sent and I cannot wait to open tomorrows.

Three of us did the pre walk on the Two Creeks Track from the Roseville Bridge to Lindfield on a beautiful day but the weather changed for the actual walk a few days later.  It didn't rain but was a bit overcast.  That did not spoil the walk for the 10 of us and we all enjoyed it.   At one part we had to climb thru a fence due to a land slip and Kay caught me getting thru, not very lady like. This is our last official walk for the year as next Friday is our Christmas lunch at Thai Poon in Darling Harbour.

On Saturday evening we went to St. George Leagues for tea and then had a flutter on the pokies.  It was amazing to see the amount of money peoples were putting into the machines.  We were lucky and came
away $10 richer.
Cleaned out Katrina's old room and put in a divan bed and as you can see, John was reading the paper but was so comfortable he fell asleep.  He doesn't look comfy.  Couple of little tables and more photos for the wall will complete it as it looks a bit bare at the moment.

Don't birthdays come around quickly, but then that day too has gone and so for the next year.  I had a good day at computers and then Pat came over with cake.  It was a nice surprise.  I have spent some time in the garden and the raspberries are just ripening, the tomatoes growing tall but the lettuce has bolted.  Spring onions and garlic need to be picked soon and now waiting for the potato plants to die off so can harvest the veggie.  There is lots of spinach (mainly for the chooks) growing with the serpent cucumber climbing up the lattice, the flowers just coming out. 
Problem with the chooks is that one is laying eggs with only membrane and so all are eating this egg.  I have given lots of grit and even put a caltrate tablet in the water but still it happens.  They have to this weekend to stop or they go. 

We have been searching high and low for a lecturn even travelling to Newcastle, but now we are lucky to have one for our dictionary.  It fits well in the kitchen corner and the book is accessible and safe. 

2 Books, 2 watches and cake for John, Happy Birthday.

 With the walking group we did the Sculpture Walk  which was better than last year, I thought.  There was a building near the beginning of the walk where miniture sculptures of the large ones were displayed and enjoyed seeing both sizes.  This first
photo of a family of zebras was very effective.








we had just passed Waverly cemetary.

These lions were made by weaving cane, just like baskets.  It was an excellent day and after morning tea at Tamarama, we continued the walk to Coogee and then a bus and train home.
