Camera Critters

Here is my camera critter post. Pictures were taken on different days at the front yard. These birds are called noisy miners. They are the constant visitors of my grevillea plant . I purposely planted the grevillea in the garden near the driveway to attract native birds. But so far I have seen only one kind that gets attracted to it.

Noodles for lunch

Since it was raining on and off today, me and the kids didn't go out. We didn't feel like going out with this kind of weather. The kids were just happy to be at home playing with each other, watching tv and sometimes play games in the computer. Me on the other hand, busied myself cleaning the house as well as the guinea pig's hutch. I was glad I finished everything before lunch time and the thought of a Filipino food for lunch was so appealing. Hubby was working until 8:00 pm tonight, so it is only us at home. Wasting no time, I prepared the ingredients for my Filipino noodles. It was good that I still had a pack of rice sticks from the last time I cooked noodles. I sliced piece of pork into small pieces, garlic and onions. Upon checking my vegetables bin in the fridge, I was lucky I had still cabbage as well as carrots to add in the ingredients. We haven't done our weekly vegetables shopping yet, so I thought I will just use whatever is available in the kitchen that takes my fancy. With only those ingredients, nonetheless my noodles still tasted good.

It's Ruby Tuesday time again and here is my post. I have two pictures here and the first one was taken during the Camping, Caravan and Holiday Expo which was held in Penrith west of Sydney earlier this month. This is just only some of the food stalls during that day. We had chicken kebabs and chips for our lunch which we bought from the Australian Kebab House. Below is a cute mug hubby received during Father's Day.

Feeding the ducks

This was last Sunday. We took the kids to a nearby park where there is a big pond, picnic area and a playground. I packed lunch with us and took left over bread as well for the ducks if in case feeding the ducks is allowed at the pond. The kids were so excited for the picnic because that was our first time to visit the place. When we arrived, it was quiet with no one playing in the playground except for a couple of people at the big shaded picnic area. We spotted two men also trying their luck fishing for carp at the opposite side of the pond. There were many ducks from nowhere started to appear as soon as we got closer to the water.The kids started to feed them when they got to the edge of the pond. They were hungry and grabbing every pieces thrown into the water. When the kids had enough they started to get back to the shaded area but these white ducks followed them wanting for more and so they feed them again.

David

Last Sunday we were up early excited for our trip up to the Blue Mountains for David's Taekwondo first grading session for yellow belt. We hit the road at around 7:30 am for David's grading was scheduled at 8:45 am and a warm up was also to be done before the grading. Glad there was not much traffic on the way and we didn't have trouble locating the venue even if that was our first time in the place, so we arrived on time as expected. My sister, her husband and their daughter came also to meet us. The kids were so excited to see their little cousin again. And here are some of the pictures I took. I wasn't able to take good pictures during the grading for we were sitting at the back and I had to zoom my camera to the max but the results weren't that good.With their cousin, Maddie just outside the grading venue .
