Snapshot of Our Day

I was at the office late last night, waiting for cattle trucks to arrive. They arrived after 7 and didn't finish unloading until after 9pm. The boys are in the big smoke for a few days. Drew is loving it, catching the city cat to Southbank, wandering the mall, dallying in Borders and having dinner with the tour group that were here yesterday. They're from Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong and told him about the carrot cake I made for them. Forget about the beef, they said, we'll buy your Mum's carrot cake! They invited him to visit China and work with them. He doesn't need much encouraging, this boy of mine who wants to travel the world RIGHT NOW.

So Meg and I are home alone with our two and four legged friends. We went to town this afternoon and she bought a cutlery set that was less than half price. She was very pleased with her purchase (can you tell). She's building a very nice collection of kitchen and house requirements for when she has that very chic and cosmopolitan apartment somewhere.

We did our regular afternoon walk around outside, checking that everyone has water on these hot days. This little one was lying in wait...

then was off like a shot, being busy busy...

I laid down on the grass and looked up and this is what popped into the viewfinder -

These two are never far away (can you see them both?)

Is she dreaming of cities far far away?

The view from the ground up...

Empty sky too..

Friends Forever...

Fluffy Friends...

and Slimey Friends...

Hanging Geraniums...

and then there's me.

The End.
