A day at the beach

A lovely day at the beach...

Pim flees the ocean.

Melanie just goes in.

...‘cause I’m always ready,
I won’t let you out of my sight... (b-b-b-b-b-b-bom)

Somehow, Pim is not cold.

Leong is even hot.

Let's fly Jetstar!

Battle of the bedons.  Melanie wins!

This is a much closer contest.

Terry, etes-vous jalooooouse?

Lunch in the sunshine, a good beer, the sea air - how's the weather in Toronto?

Finalement, a beautiful stay at Kennett River on the Great Ocean Road.  Hurrah!

Pim is a qualified masseuse.  Bendy is a disinterested audience.

On the deck, Leong teaches Jason how to play 'Who Could It Be Now' by Men At Work.  No, really.

Dan and Sabrina work really hard, being active and motivated.  See that energy!

A visitor!

The... what, 79th?... creature sauvage de Sabrina.

Sabrina regard les GRIFFES.

Sabrina et le koala regardent Francesca en horreur.

Jason and Sabrina at Apollo Bay.

Body beautiful baby.

Francesca wanted me to take this photo as ultimate proof that she went into the water too.

Jay and Melanie too!

Sabrina avec sa 50.

This is the only photo we took of the Apostles.  There are plenty more on Sab's camera - once we get her photos and the ones on Leong, Pim and Khim's cameras, we'll post them too.

Et finalement, un bon bon bon souper chez City Wine Shop a 8h00 le soir.  Merci a Terry pour le beau cadeau!!

Sab est revenu! Et Francesca est encore ici!

 

On est content.

Coffee, bomboline and sunburn at Coffea...

Sabrina is back from Tasmania!  And still alive!!

And hungry.

At Elwood beach on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.  Life is hard.

Summer BBQ

It's 33 degrees and we're all hungry - what to do??

Barbeque!  Boys cook...

Girls... erm...

Look, I don't know what you can really say.

Happy after a good meal.

Time to go home.

Nonna est arrivee!!!

 

La valise de Nonna...

 

Nonna est en Australie!!!  Elle parle a Napinette sur le telephone, loin de froideur...

(et bonjour a Peggy et George!  Lots of photos of Francesca's adventures in Australia to come...)

100 posts and some random photos

Apparently this is post #100 - and it's only taken four years to get here!  To celebrate, here are some photos of either Bendy or the bump, or maybe Bendy AND the bump.

Mid-pounce-on-the-rug-to-try-and-dig-out-the-ball.  He is slowly learning the lesson that you go under the rug to get the ball, but mostly he tries to dig his way through.

 It was going to be a nice photo except for the dog's arse in the background.  Oh, and Bendy's behind.

The label says 'Nino', in case we forget what we're keeping in there.

A day in the MacDonnell Ranges

The day started auspiciously at Standley Chasm.  What could go wrong?

Les MOUCHES, that's what.

Jason and Melanie resorted to beating each other with their hats trying to get rid of the little bastards.

A lovely tuna salad lunch by Ellery Creek Big Hole with the bloody mouches.

A good way to get rid of the mouches is to go for a swim in a trou d'eau.

And after the swim, stand in the sun like a big lezard to regain the heat.
