Last Sunday's breakfast

We decided last Sunday to have our breakfast in McDonald . When hubby suggested it to us, I agreed with him right away for MacDonald is not that far from where we live and besides it has been quite a long time since we had our last breaky there. I even forget when was that and of course, I was already craving for their hot cakes . The kids had hot cakes too while hubby had his favourite, a breakfast wrap which includes, bacon, eggs, cheese and a golden potato rosti with tomato sauce.

Camera Critters

Here's my Camera Critters for this week. I took these pictures while we were visiting a park in North West of Sydney. Upon looking at the picture I don't know if you would notice what is wrong with the duck. It was my daughter who pointed it out to us when she saw it. She and her brother were feeding the ducks at that time. Well, the duck has a split beak but it seemed it didn't bother him at all for he was really doing well grabbing the pieces of bread along with the other ducks that my kids threw into the water.Interested to join or want to see more Critters from all around the world please click, here.

At the backyard

I just wanted to share with you what I had found in our backyard last week. While I was trimming one of our fruit trees, a bird suddenly flew off from the tree looking scared and when I looked up just above my head I saw a nest and thought that it belongs to the bird that had just flew away. With curiosity inside me,I checked the nest and found two eggs. The bird, a native pigeon didn't fly away that far but just perched on a branch of another tree enough that she can still take a look at her nest. Native pigeons are one of the birds hanging around in our backyard everyday. I will just wait until the eggs hatch and finish trimming the tree.

Orientation day

Yesterday was Dorothy's orientation day in preparation for her High School next year. I can't believe I have a year 7 daughter next year. How time flies so quickly. Well, like any other, she was excited and ate unenthusiastically her breakfast . She said to me that she lost her appetite because of her excitement. I just grabbed something from the shop for her to nibble if in case she felt hungry. We arrived early in the school and saw one of Dorothy's classmates who was waiting for them.There were about 14 students from Dorothy's year 6 class that will also go in that HS. Parents and carers were also invited for the orientation that's why I went with Dorothy. I arranged someone to take David to school on that day because the orientation started at 9:00 am. I stayed only for over an hour until the parents' part of the orientation finished and went home, while Dorothy stayed until the normal school hour finished. She went home by herself catching a bus. Dorothy was happy that for the first time I let her catch a bus by herself because it made her feel like a grown up already. I gave her instructions where to catch the bus and as well as the time and glad she got home on time.

Watery Wednesday

My WW post for this week is another picture taken during our visit to Taronga Zoo sometime last October with some friends. I saw these three pelicans near the Seal Show Venue.


Happy Watery Wednesday!

One Sunday

Here are some of the photos that I took while we were in a ferry boat going to Mosman to visit Taronga Zoo sometime last October with our friends . The weather was just fine and we had a great time enjoying the views during the entire trip. David wasn't in the mood for picture taking. He just loved watching the seawater boils and fizz as we move along. He was a little scared when the water sometimes splashed to us but Dorothy thought it was fun

My red rose

Aside from the miniature roses that I have been growing, I have this beautiful red rose in the little garden beside our driveway. This plant was given to me by a friend as a gift on my special day few years ago. It has plenty of flowers this time and I thought this would be great for my Ruby Tuesday post this week.Interested to join or want to see more red please click here

Brownie is sick

Our fluffy female guinea pig is sick. I just noticed it last Saturday morning when she failed to come out from her hutch which is what she normally does every morning. I missed to hear her wheeking sound too. I thought she just felt like not coming out from her hutch and just slept there. I didn't see her eating foods and drinking water either. When afternoon came and I still didn't see her outside, I thought something was wrong with her. When I checked her , she was looking so sick and I was so worried. I called hubby and Dorothy to let them know and then I decided to ring right away the Vet Clinic in our area to check out if they were still open and glad they were open until 4:00 pm. So hubby and Dorothy took Brownie to the Vet immediately. She was given a needle of anti-biotic right away and yesterday she was given another one. She has some kind of infection that makes her sick . The Vet scheduled another check up for her this Wednesday. Yesterday late in the afternoon, we finally saw her having a few nibbles of her food, and today she is eating a little bit every now and then. We noticed also that the water of her drinking bottle has gone down which is a good sign that she is slowly recovering.
