DECEMBER - NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!

 


This was written about two weeks ago - sitting in the drafts folder



SWIMMING EVERY MORNING and loving it.  walking some 
mornings too.  it's the best way to start the day



with ros, heather and gael flanked by buzz and bruce



MARA'S got her christmas jumper and it fits!!



I'm entering this photo of Cathy in the National Photographic Portrait Prize 



a couple of nice pics of michelle, lynda in the background




some wild waves this week - one day only




beautiful painting by caroline magerl, it perfectly captures 
being in the water - bliss!




my beautiful eastern parrots had two chicks in the nesting box 
for a few weeks but the heat killed them. they had all their 
beautifully coloured feathers but never got to try them out, 
poor little darlings. i've blocked off the box now, will relocate it 
in the shade.




LOVE THIS PIC



i've put my bathers and dresses etchings into sarah's wonderful Smokehouse,  gourmet goodies, beautiful homewares 
and excellent wall space


SCOZ, always on patrol


A visit to Gail's and a morning swim with the Waders


The good thing about living here is that the beach is so perfect for kids, Etta loves it - sandcastles, wading and a lot of jumping and running







CHRISTMAS with the Daltons - a pool party no less!   
Lots of fun with a surprise visit from Santa!





A beautiful orange full moon over the bay




Visited Don, Jenny and I drove up and stayed overnight.  there have been 
fires further away in the Grampians but now (22nd) they're getting 
dangerously close at Halls Gap and towards Pomonal 
so Don is safely down at Warrnambool with Jenny and Art





CHRISTMAS BREKKY at the yacht club
