Uni Open Days

Amy and I spent the day visiting the open days at the ANU, University of Canberra and Bruce CIT. It was a productive day, we went through the Classics Museum at ANU and visited the School of Music, went to UC and Amy got to hold a snake and a turtle, visit a computer gaming display, and we went to a talk on the Cultural Heritage Conservation Course, which involves learning to conserve historic artifacts, photos, etc and learn about working in museums, a course which Amy is very interested in. We also called in at the CIT at Bruce to check out the animal courses that they run there. A long day but very productive and if animals are involved it makes it even better!

Amy's New Hat

Amy got herself a new hat this week, a hat from Firefly- a show she watches. Hope you can tell which one is Amy and which one is Benji- there is some theory that dogs are like their owners and as Benji is Amy's dog I have spotted a few similarities over the past 4 years!

My Greenhouse

I got myself a small greenhouse from Bunnings this week, I have assembled it and planted out some seeds so getting ready for the spring/summer veggie patch.

Lachlan's Pot of Chilli

Lachlan made a lovely pot of chilli this week, we have to make sure he does not put too much chilli in it as Bill and I are not hot food eaters, but this was very yummy and just a bite of chilli in it. He is quite the cook and very handy to have around.

What is it with Dogs?

We put out a little dog basket for Jack who is staying with us for the week and guess who tries to sit in it- not Jack, but both Clancy and Benji who are way to big for it!

French Toast for Breakfast

One of my favourite breakfasts is French Toast, strawberries and bananas. I bought two bananas this week as they were down to $10 a kilo, and strawberries are cheap at the moment, so Amy and I had French toast for breakfast- she is looking a little sleepy as it was a school morning! At least she had fruit for breakfast.

Off to the Ballet- Don Quixote

Amy and I went to see the ballet- Don Quixote at the Canberra Theatre on Wednesday night. It has been quite a while since we have been to the ballet.It was put on by the Dancers Company which is the school of the Australian Ballet and was part of a regional tour, they had a few Australian Ballet dancers in principal roles, and tickets were very reasonably priced. It was a lovely ballet, very lively, with a mixture of traditional tutus and classical music and dancing and then dancing and costumes with the Spanish influence, it was a lovely night!
