Pete and I flew into Melbourne today...we are here to mind Monty for the next 7 days...and we get to explore more of Melbourne.

 

Matilda Bay

...the beautiful Swan River

I had coffee at the Bayside Kitchen with Renate, Natalie and Sharan...lovely ladies that I used to work with for many years....we couldn't remember the last time that we were all together.

In the afternoon I had an appointment with Ashleigh my hairdresser....when we walked out of the salon I looked up and saw these stunning clouds...

Took a few more photos when I arrived home....the sky looked amazing...

Lauren and Lucy went to watch Jeremy's netball game....love this photo.

 

This is Lake Jackadder in Woodlands, the suburb next to Doubleview. I shop at the Farmer Jacks across the road and these men are often by the lake with their remote control yachts..it must have been a little difficult today as there was hardly any breeze. What a great hobby!

 

View to the ocean from the Royal Fremantle Golf course. A fabulous day for golf ( although mine wasn't so great) and a delicious lunch with some new friends.

 

Flynn's birthday was actually on the 16th but Tash thought it best to celebrate on Sunday....with both Todd and Will who will be at home. Tash posted this photo...it is so sweet, I love the way Will has his arm around his little brother and Ethan's and Flynn's big smiles. 

Lauren and Lucy came for dinner. Lauren is one of Jeremy's best friends...they debated together when they were in high school. Lauren lives in Canberra and is over for a couple of weeks to visit her family.

Jeremy is quite confident nursing young babies...so many of his friends have had babies this year.

Look at that smile (Lucy's)...Paul took these photos for me...we had a most enjoyable night.

 

We were quite excited to see this seal on our walk this morning...one of the fishermen gave him a fish...

We hoped he wasn't hurt, he looked young.

After a swim and shower we had breakfast at the new restaurant overlooking City Beach. It is Jenny's 70th birthday on Wednesday and it is our tradition to celebrate big birthdays with a beach breakfast. We don't look too bad considering we didn't have a hairdryer.

More beach walking in the afternoon....with Pete this time...we were checking out the beaches closer to home. This is Brighton...

Only 5 to 10 minutes down the road...

 

It was a very proud Nanna moment when I saw this drawing of Bananas in Pyjamas that Ethan drew. He will be 4 next month. I am so looking forward to seeing more of his drawings as he gets older.
