A Good Start...

Well two posts in one week is a great start for the new year!


It has been a busy but fun few days with all of us on holidays.  We have been out on the boat twice this year already, had lunch out another day and now the kids are busy planning their social lives for the remainder of the holidays.


New Year's Day we spent tidying up, playing with new toys and escaping from the heat until the sun started to go down.  We then decided to take a ride in the boat along the canals in Mandurah to check out the Christmas lights.  It was such a lovely warm evening and the canals were full of boats.  I just sat back with my wine glass and my camera taking in the sights.

Sunday was another very hot, humid day but we braved the heat and went out to Betty Blue for lunch with the family.  The food was delightful and my lunch was the topic for my photo of the day.  Yummy lamb cutlets with Greek salad.

Monday was the New Year's Day public holiday and yet another very warm one.  I really wanted to get out and do something different but we were struggling to find any one activity that appealed to everyone so eventually we decided on another boat run.  We drove to Mandurah then took the boat towards Pinjarra down the Murray River.  It was such a hot afternoon that I just about roasted and absolutely regretted not being dressed for swimming.  Instead I once again watched with wine in one hand and camera in the other.

We finished off back in Mandurah, having fish & chips from Cicerellos and watching dolphins who were swimming right near us.  It was a great day even if I'm somewhat sunburnt today as a result.


Today is a very quiet day.  The girls are tidying their bedrooms, Haydn is playing computer games and I'm fiddling around with my computer and iPad getting things sorted for the new year.  I'm still to take today's photo of the day but I'll leave you with my shot from yesterday.  I hope you are all having a healthy and happy start to 2011 and that each day gets even better from here on.
