What a fantastic weekend this has been, just spending time at the home of our kids with our new little grand daughter!! Friday and Saturday it seemed to rain more often than not, and at times, a real downpour!!  Saturday Brissy recieved at least 60mm of rain during the day, and it rained all night and most of Friday.  But very warm; in fact, HOT!  But I love it!  In case some of you don't remember what that's like.....we walk in and out of the house without having to put on a jacket or shoes!  We had a high of 30 C today! Sunny and humid!

Saturday morning we were the proud grandparents videoing and photographing our grand daughter's first swimming lesson.  She loved it!  Later we relaxed in Andrew and Bella's back yard, enjoying each other's company. They took us on a real tikki tour of Brissy, we managed to hit a mall and even cool off for a bit.

Jer has been able to watch some cricket and rugby on TV, and we are able to keep up with the Scotties by watching the results on TSN!!  Too bad Jennifer lost!

We went for a walk this morning at 6:30 - for some reason we keep waking at 6AM!!!  But it was quite hot by the time we got back to the house.  Cinnamon buns for breaky! Home made!!  And Jerry and Andrew have been bottling his last batch of beer today!!! Some 60 bottles.

Today in Andrew and Bella's yard,  we have seen a cane toad - they are an invasive species and Aussies are encouraged to kill them.  We have heard a striped marsh frog - sounds like someone is building something outside in the back yard, a loud tock or poc sound. We have seen and heard lots of sulphur-crested Cockatoos - they have a very screechy and irritating call.  We've heard and seen many little geckos in the back yard - and for the size of them, they make a surprisingly loud chirping sound. And there have been some very big and colorful butterflys flitting around in the back yard!

Now it's time for supper - a curry chicken dish.  Smells yummy.  And then early to bed, as Andrew needs to get up at 4 AM tomorrow for work!
