Both kids are still overseas having a great time. I'm so happy they are experiencing different cultures and learning about history. I still find it hard to believe they are out in the world travelling at 20 and 18.
Winter in Queensland has been very mild with days around 21-23 degrees and lows of 11. This week we will have a low of 7 and 8 degrees and highs of 16-19 degrees so 16 is cold for us Queenslanders.
I have been taking Teddy to the dog park for half an hour in the morning and in the afternoon which he is loving. He needs to run around and wear out some of that energy. This morning there were 3 Teddy's at the dog park all slightly different breeds but all looking like Teddy's.
I do have a lovely backyard for him but he can't be trusted as he's into the pop plants eating dirt and last week he reached over into the newly planted veggie patch and took a plastic tag which he proceeded to run away with it in his mouth. My sister and I chased him for over 5 minutes until we could catch him and get it out of his mouth. He can run at lightening speed and even with two of us and a lead on him we were exhausted from trying to get him. Billy who I used to mind was very trustworthy by himself in the backyard as he is much older but Teddy gets into everything which is a shame because we would spend more time out there. When I was weeding the garden and planting he had to be inside in his playpen so he is safe and the rest of my house and belongings are safe too.
Here's some old pics from the archives. Have a good week.
