NSW continued



After a quick trip up to Brisbane ( temperatures were 10 degrees higher!) for a meeting, and visit to UQ ( a beautiful campus with lakes and beside the Brisbane river) back to the raucous cockatoos. A quickshot of grandaughter with Flora Macdonald the teddy ( with thanks to Flora Macdonald - descendant of the original Flora- who made it for her!) and the sight that met us early this morning!
My turn to babysit tomorrow - so I will get to read the Pesky puppy story about 10 more times!!

Sabbatical Pt 2 rural NSW


Well I am now in rural NSW just out of Bathurst - really cold, even light snow this morning - getting some work done in between enjoying 3 grandchildren. Very quiet except for raucous cockatoos, galahs and magpies.

Littlest grandaughter is a delight and the boys are growing fast - their soccer skills are improving - they can now outrun me by far.
