Australia Day

It is Australia Day today, a public holiday in every state and territory and in the afternoon there was supposed to be a big Australia celebration in our place but was unfortunately cancelled due to the wet weather condition. It has been raining cats and dogs here since yesterday and the ground is soaking wet with plenty of puddles. The kids are a bit disappointed for they cannot see Justice Crew performing live again in our place. Despite this wet weather, we still had a family celebration at home with lamb and sausage barbecue. Anyway, to all Australians, have a safe and happy Australia Day!

Watery Wednesday

Raindrops on my beautiful succulent plant.


It is raining cats and dogs here at the moment and I took the opportunity to go out under an umbrella taking photos.

Last night

When hubby arrived home from work at about 10:00pm I was still up and doing facebooking. He told me that he noticed that the interior light of my car was accidentally left on, (obviously a door had not been properly shut). The last time I used the car was when I took David to The Museum of Fire in Penrith, west of Sydney and came home early that afternoon. I parked the car inside the gate after the trip because I didn't plan to go out any more. Since then, I didn't check it even though I was outside the house twice thinking everything was alright with the car. I was glad that hubby noticed it before the battery will be flat. Hubby told me that when he checked it out it was the driver's door that was not properly shut., Oh dear.. I remember I was in a hurry to get inside the house when we arrived because I had to ring someone.

Dorothy's painting

Her step sister gave her a Hunter Leisure Painting by Numbers Pack which contains 1 numbered pre-drawn textured art board, 10 paints, 2 brushes and a paint holder as a Christmas present. It is great for those who love to paint and don't have the time or skills for drawing and composing a picture. The paint is acrylic and behaves in a similar way to oil paint. The difference is that it is mixed with water and is quick drying. Unlike oil paint it only takes about ten minutes to dry. Then, unlike watercolour, it can no longer be revived, mixed or cleaned up with water.
Dorothy was so excited when she got it and could not wait to do the painting. It took her a few days to finish since it has many intricate areas and small details to do. And here is her finished painting.

Fresh fruit salad

I made a fabulous fresh fruit salad yesterday. It's healthy and a great dessert. Here is what it consisted of, green apple, red apple, pear, seedless grapes, kiwi, orange, banana, apricot and a toss of pomegranate seeds for extra crunch. Yumm!

Today

I plan to take the kids to the city today but the weather is not cooperating with our plan. The day has been drizzly and dreary with no sign of blue sky. I just told the kids to postpone our plan sometime this week. I hope the weather will be ok by then. I know they are a bit disappointed about it and have no option but to wait when the right weather comes. I will just take them to watch a movie instead or visit a friend later in the day.
