wavy hair day

I had my haircut yesterday and the hairdresser curled it so I came out looking like 'i just stepped out of a salon!'

Xronia Polla - Mixalis

It is Mixalis name day today so we went to Auckland Botanical gardens as it is such a sunny amazing day...

saw some sculpture in the park... and some baby geese...

and some bright blooms...

finishing off with a lunch time beverage at Sale St bar which has a fab outdoor deck, thats Aucklands Sky Tower in the background....

and we voted as its the NZ elections and Mike got to vote for his own Party as they are registered!!!

two Aussie jollydays

We had two jolly days with Dicky & Louise in Brisbane for my birthday... you cannot imagine the excitement when we found the birthplace of the Dickster - DICKY BEACH!!!

us at a table and a kookaburra in a tree in the Botanical gardens...

Brisbane CBD from the river...

strange lizardy thing at Noosa Heads National Park - Sunshine Coast...
the path and beaches at the beautiful Noosa heads National park...absolutely one of may favourite places I have been and lucky me this was our 2nd visit....

we did have a swim in the bright blu sea, the first Aussie dip ever for Louise & Dicky





Enjoying my Moreton Bay Bugs for lunch at Noosa village, there had been a 3 year gap beween Moreton Bug Meals...too long!!!

Louise cuddling up to a Koala...

Kanagroo time...the real Aussie experience
