A New Pair Of Ruby Slippers: Lovely friends

Anzac Day this year was a great day. We did nto make it to the dawn service which J is not happy about. However he was wearing his little 'badge' all day and we made a promise to go next year again.

We had S and A here as you know and we had a lovely looong breakkie with bacon and eggs (and lots of coffee for the sleep deprived parents) on the front decking. Lots to talk about and to catch up on. I love havign guests and I am really happy for the fact that we have such lovely friends... We are very lucky!
After breafast we went for a little drive and showed them the view from Mount Coot-tha over the city and then to South Bank (where we squeezed down a Movenpick icecream, nice!!). Back in the house we all had a lovely afternoon nana nap (heavenly) before walking Friedels and then the bbq arced up! J did his fabulous caramelised onion and chick pea salad, I did a green salad and dessert and then we bbq’ed NY steaks and some lovely snags. Dessert: rhubarb crumble and vanilla ice cream.

L is the best baby in the world! She doesn’t cry a lot, she is happy and content and also let the parents eat din dins together whilst sleeping! She really is adorable and so cute. Not all babies are you know. Everyone thinks babies are all cute. Nooooo they are not. Some are quite ugly really... Luckily for S and A they have the cutest little button. (no wonder really with good looking parents!) It was really nice to have them (mainly Little L really, once the baby is born they become the centre of attention and the parents secondary....hehe only joking!) – it was so lovely to see them and we will miss them all when they are in the UK.

Frida was well behaved and very gentle with the little one – I am very pleased with that, there would be zero tolerance to any mischief from her side. But she was as always a very well behaved dog!
