Busy day

It was a busy day yesterday. I went shopping for our weekly grocery in the morning and when I came back we sorted out some household rubbish to be picked up by the Council this coming Monday morning and made it sure that it is all done according to their conditions outlined in the letter. I made a booking with them last week and a few days later I received a letter of confirmation. Is not that we had a big household clean up yesterday but these are just some of the things that we dont need anymore. We have a big leather couch that we don't use anymore which is quite old and the leather started to rip somehow .It would be a burden for sure moving it somewhere when the backroom starts its renovation. Because it is big and heavy, hubby broke it into parts to make it easier for us to take outside and would be manageable by the person who will pick them. We have also old broken chairs, a small tv stand with a broken glass and the old wooden house of our dogs that we broke into parts too and bundled properly. We are going to stack them neatly near the kerb tomorrow afternoon.

I got a letter the other day from Dorothy's school informing me that Dorothy has been selected to represent the school for this coming Zone Athletics Carnival which will be held on Monday at Blacktown Olympic Park, just about 5 minutes drive from where we live. She will race for the 400m and 800 m. Good luck, Dorothy and to the rest of the school team!

Medieval Fayre

It was held last Saturday at Nurragingy Reserve, a few minutes drive from where we live. This is an annual event to kick off the fiesta celebration of Blacktown. For two whole day, the Reserve was transformed into a world of medieval magic. There were lots of attraction for everyone inside the medieval village, jousting, Blacksmith Shoppe, Camel and pony rides, jumping castle , just to name a few. It's all free to enjoy for 2 days.
I captured a few photos of my kids while they were taking a camel ride..

Ruby Tuesday

This was last Saturday while we were attending the Medieval Fayre held at Nurrangingy Reserve. The lady with a red umbrella, red top and red socks caught my eyes. So I just thought to capture a photo of her for my Ruby Tuesday post. They were watching the jousting event at that time.

Lucky

Last Friday after I picked up David from his school, we went straight to the Vet to pick up Lucky, our male guinea pig. It was his schedule to be neutered. It was a hard decision for us to have him neutered. The kids were really not happy with the idea at first but I explained to them the reasons and they eventually understand. Brownie, our female guinea pig had already given birth 3 times, 2 babies at first then 5 and 4, and we thought that that would be enough. The maintenance and the work looking after them before they are ready to be sold are too much . They are inside guinea pigs so every now and then we make sure their hutch is always clean and tidy, always make sure they have enough supply of water and food, and besides if we want to go away on weekend, we have to find someone to look after them. And its not only that, it is also hard for Lucky for he always gets separated from Brownie every time Brownie has babies and he is not happy about it. Its nature that guinea pigs (mostly male) may kill their own babies for some reasons, that's why Lucky will be temporarily removed from the hutch every time Brownie is about to give birth.
Lucky is doing well after the operation and will be soon reunited with Brownie.

Camera Critters

Few days ago, I had noticed that someone had been voraciuosly eating the leaves of one of my bird's nest ferns which I just moved to the ground. I have been growing bird's nest ferns in pots and they grow bigger and bigger that I thought it was about time for them to be moved to the ground for the the pots started to break already. Anyway, at that time I had noticed the leaves had been eaten, I tried to find the culprit but could not find it. Then the next morning I decided to check it out again and finally found out who was responsible of destroying the leaves of my plant. It was a hairy caterpillar.Interested to join or want to see more Critters from all around the world please click, here.
