The three of us.

This weekend Steve and I travelled to Sydney for my Nan's funeral, which was on saturday. I'm so glad that Steve could come with me to Sydney. He was some much needed support to get me through the funeral and eulogy.

Here we are in the Blue Mountains. We drove up to Blackheath this morning to meet up with Steve's brother Jeff and our three nephews. I'm 27 weeks pregnant tomorrow.

More on the subject of birds



I saw this New Holland Honeyeater in the garden yesterday morning before driving to work. The bird was hopping all over our grevillea plant. It had yellow wings and was so pretty I had to take a photo. I was in a hurry to get to work early, and the bird was fast so the photos weren't good enough to pick up the colours.
