The Lego bookmark

Karin came over with Mason briefly. Mason was very excited to see us. It was difficult for him to sit still and stay put.

I was very excited to see him too :-)

Then it was time for the dishes.

Then it was time for the laundry.

Then it was time to refill the bird food.

And then I took a book to read a bit on the veranda in the sun.

The wookie

Our lawn early morning.

My view in the bus on my way to work.

Passing Northpark, our shopping mall.

My lunch view. Can't go to the park yet. It's also too wet most of the time.

At 3 o'clock it was beer-time! This one was very fruity. I liked it very much.

Nicole picked me up after work and we drove to Henley for a spontaneous visit to the Thai Orchid.

Going to work

I worked at home during the morning. During lunch I took the bus to work.

I got off just before the city and walked the rest.

The hawk

In the morning I heard cocky-girl making a lot of noise so I went to have a look what was going on. As I open the door I saw a big bird carrying prey flying from the mandarin tree on to our veggie patch. Upon closer inspection it appeared to be a collared sparrowhawk. And it had actually caught a sparrow (NL: musje). When I got as close as 4 metres it flew to the next garden, the little sparrow still trying to escape from it's big claws. It was amazing to see.

In the afternoon I finally went to the office again after 3.5 weeks. To celebrate I bought doughnuts.

When Nicole picked me up it was dark.

Breakfast.

Work.

Lunch.

Going to the doctor. That's a real duck by the way.

After the doctor we drove to the Adelaide racetrack where they used to race Formula one.

The Hyundai team.

Adelaide.

We went to a restaurant that re-opened somewhere else recently.

Uneventful

The day was most uneventful. Even the pigeons were bored. At least I managed to get 8 hours of work in...

I cooked dinner today...

... and I made a salad. It was great.

I also did a laundry, dishes and I vacumed. I had a pretty productive day :-)
