What a mad house!

This morning was a rush like no other. Mike (despite his sore throat) has decided to go bush today. It's a good day for it, quite warm. I can't make head nor tail out of this weather, we actually had the fire going two nights ago! So he said he was getting a bit of cabin fever and wanted to go make a withdrawal from the gold bank! hahaha Love how he says that. So off he went early.

I went back to sleep for a little bit and then got up. I didn't have to be off to make the trek to the dog obedience class till about 10.15 so I had heaps of time. Had brecky, had a little play on the computer. Loads of time. Thought I best do the dishes and as I looked around to the microwave to see the time it was 7 minutes past flipping 10 !!!!!!! WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh, my very thoughtful computer had decided to change automatically and come off day light saving a week early! Here I was thinking it had just gone 9! So flying around getting the collar, the chain, the water, the treats, the bowl, the poop bags, the car harness,oh and not to forget Lucky. Anyone think this is like getting a baby ready to go out all the paraphenalia we need? I drove like the wind and made it in the nick of time.

Third class of Grade 2 finished, one more to go. He's going well but it was warm out there today and he was distracted very easily about half hour into the class. He just wanted to sniff and play. Smelling the butts of other dogs really holds a lot of appeal for this little guy! haha He's obviously had a busy morning because right now he's conked it out on his bed.

Yesterday I went for a little trip round the town taking photographs with "Harry". Thanks for the suggestions all, but my new camera's name is Harry. I am very much like my darling grandfather Harry, I never go anywhere without the camera, and neither did he, it was a permanent fixture round his neck. So I think Harry will be my camera's name, sharing the love I have of photography with my grandpa.

Now Jodie warned me it would take a little bit to get used to and I wholeheartily agree, but out of the cough cough ... 150-odd photos I took I managed to snap some that I think were pretty special and I'm thrilled with them. Let's take a wander around my town ...

A trip to the local Apex Rose Garden. Isn't this an exquisite colour rosebud.

Close but not too close to the bee!

Our local park.

Another at the park.

I quite like this, just a fence along one of the farms.

And these last two from our own backyard!

And the obligatory Molly and Lucky photo!! te he

Hope you enjoyed! I certainly enjoyed taking them. :-)
