Frogs

We always have a lot of frogs in the garden and the pot plants. They climb on the windows at night and leave their sticky footprints everywhere. There are a couple that live near the pool as well and sit on the edge at night. Not a problem at all really. But this week the great outdoors has invaded the house. Beau found a frog behind the toilet door which he quietly asked me to put outside. Last night there was one hopping along the hall quite happily and was promptly put out as well. I have no idea how they get in or why they would want to but it does explain why occasionally I find mummified frogs under furniture.

Maggie

My son Beau rang me today to tell me that my Maggie had died. He also wanted to know where I would like him to bury her. We don't know if it was Snake bite or a car, but it really doesn't matter.
It will be strange when I get home on Sunday and not have her there.

The Holiday Continues.........................

Tuesday blew a gale so visited a winery, drove to a small seaside town for lunch and then dinner out at the Club. I think I've been out for meals enough now. 

Another perfect day yesterday and husband decided that he wouldn't be outdone in the fishing by his son so off to Marlo we went. This time we only brought one fish home but had a really good day. Ben will be happy he caught more fish than his father, I bet.  Took the little dog with us and she had more fun than she has ever had in her life!!!! From chasing seagulls up and down the beach to jumping in the water after the (multitude of) undersized fish we threw back. She absolutely hates getting her feet wet at the best of times so her curiosity really got the better of her. She buried a toad fish and did her best to eat our bait.

Across the water the Marlo Jetty was busy, lots of boats were out on the water all looking for the elusive fish too.

  A brilliant view of the Slips. My childhood playground!!!

Eventually we had to leave. 

 For a Beach baby living in the mountains it has been wonderful getting sand between my toes again and visiting places that bring back happy memories of my childhood!!

(Machicho slept all the way back to Mum's and collapsed on the couch when we got there. had to wake her up to feed her and take her to bed!!)
