Around here

Well it's Spring time in Queensland however last week we had days over 30 degrees and Saturday was 35 degrees [95F] so looks like Summer is going to be be a hot one.

It's my Birthday month and in fact Teddy is one year old on the 11th September also so two Birthdays in this household.

I have found an exercise class that suits me which is about 10 minutes drive away and have been going 3 mornings a week with yoga/Pilates on a Saturday.  I don't love exercise but I know as we age we need to make it a priority to keep our bones strong and healthy.  I also took up a tennis/fitness class this term and we have 2 nights left then it's school holidays and I've enrolled in Term 4 which runs 11 weeks one night a week.

My sister is coming over from Perth for a week's visit so will be spending lots of family time together which will be great.

Here's some recent photos and photos of the Pink Cockatoo [Major Mitchell] bird that is in my suburb.

I have two of these birds in my backyard which started out as babies.

This is a pink cockatoo [formerly known as Major Mitchell] and he runs with the white cockatoo's in our area and this day I was lucky enough that he was sitting on a fence post behind my house.

Here he is again as it was overcast and starting to rain.  They have the same colour on his crest underneath his wings when he flies....so amazing.  See these images.

My neighbour goes fishing on his boat and brought me back this snapper which I cooked up with a butter garlic sauce and OMG it was to die for.....yummmmm
