Bits and Pieces

My annual birthday photo with the Buddha

It's been a busy month since my birthday.  We have been landscaping the front garden after mum and dad ripped out the golden canes which created the screen for the burglers.  We now have lots of rocks at the front which mum and dad have put Chinese pots and light on.  I have also put lots of little buddhas in there as well t brighten it up.

Helping Dad in the garden

Mum has been doing most of the work and the neighbours are complaining about dad's efforts to mum.  To be fair to mum, she is letting them know that dad has just had a hernia operation and can't lift anything heavy for weeks.  I think dad's taking advantage though, surely he can lift a cup of coffee.

Dad - 20 ton of rock has arrived for mum

I had my sports day last week.  If you remember last year, dad distracted me at the start of my race and I came way last.  This I sent dad down the end of the track and did much better.  I came second in my individual race (just pipped at the post), second in our relay race (we would have won, only one of my team stopped to wait for his friend to catch up and win - mum still hasn't forgiven my team mate - she can be so embarassing) and fourth in the sack race.  All in all a much better effort than last year.

Should have nobbled the kid in red!!

  

Not happy dad had a hernia operation!

I am now on a school break and soccer has finnished for a month.  Dad says my team, the Casuarina Rowdies (Black), are playing much better now.  We even face the ball sometimes from kick-ins and goal kicks.  We have won 3 of our 10 games, drawn 2 and lost 5, although only dad is keeping count  I have now scored three goals and forced an own goal! I think the best bit about playing soccer is the rice crispy chocolate crackles dad makes for the end of the game.
