thank you all for your well wishes. i think i was just feeling fatigued from the heat and humidity. i was feeling much better yesterday but didn't get a chance to post due to celebrating 'australia day'. unfortunately, i missed out doing the 'mantra monday' for the same reason....next week, for sure.
january 26th is a day where australia stops to celebrate our heritage and commemoratre the arrival of the first fleet in 1788. like most australians, we grabbed the opportunity to enjoy a family day out. the boys and i went over to michelle's (daughter) and alex's place. we played in the park near their apartment, then walked to the portside wharf by the brisbane river for a gander, then it was back to their place to enjoy a good ol' aussie barbie (BBQ) without the prawns... lol....finishing it all off with delicious pavlova. YUM!

this is where some of the big international ocean cruisers come to dock, however, there was none yesterday. a pity as i hear they are quite a sight to see dwarfing everything around them.

Serena, I was dismayed to hear that you were not feeling well, and glad to hear that you're feeling better. All these times you were worrying about me. You are thoroughly the sweetest of hearts! I haven't been online for a while, I almost didn't recognize your site. What a big difference. I love it. I also like your picture of yourself on the blogtitle (so different from your usual realistic portrait). Thank you for posting the pictures ... your country is beautiful :)
Happy Australia Day. It was Chinese New Year Day here. Great photos of your day out... it's wonderful to see such bright photos of Summer.
Glad to read you are doing better. That humidity can take a person down fast, (in my opinion)...
Enjoyed the photos of your day out and playing and ...beautiful sky photo too!
Gosh...I love these little glimpses into Australia and your everyday life...thanks for sharing Serena!:)
These are great pics...looks like you had so much fun. And it looks HOT too. We aregetting more snow tomorrow LOL
Beautiful photos. I am glad you had such a wonderful day. It is nice seeing the green grass and the leaves on the trees since we have been so snow covered and bare in Wisconsin.
