Whales

From the Long Reef headland you can watch humpback whales migrating north. We never sit still long enough to spot them but we did manage to pose next to a whale sculpture (at least we think that’s what it is).

This time with our best friend, Sammy and his pal Bodhi.

Bye for now

Me and my shadow

Does this shadow make me look fat?

Birds

We live near bushland and there are so many birds around. Some of them are cute and colourful (I’ve been told) like lorikeets who gather in the gum tree for a chatter. But others are opportunistic and try to steal our food.

Bird spying on us

The real villain is this cheeky magpie who is never far away when we’re having breakfast outside.  In fact he’s usually sitting on a nearby fence or roof, waiting to strike.

I'm watching you, Bird

I don’t leave anything to chance and eat my food straightaway. Charlie, on the other hand, likes to play a game of dare with the magpie and will leave his bone outside while he keeps watch through the patio door. As soon as the magpie swoops, Charlie is out there faster than a speeding arrow. Sometimes he isn’t quite fast enough and the bird takes off with Charlie’s breakfast. Either way, there’s always a lot of barking.

Mummy only has to say the word “bird” and we both race outside and cause a commotion.

Is there a word that has special powers for you (apart from “dinner”)?

Mouse Envy

Squeaker - King of the Wheel

Ok, the novelty is wearing off. Mummy and Daddy have been giving the mice too much attention and for some reason they always shut us out of the room while they play. It isn’t fair.

Tippy - King of the Castle

We made our feelings known by sneaking into their bedroom and emptying the bin – one of us likes shredding tissues and made a big mess….

Somedoggy has been peeing around the house too. We’re not owning up to anything, although it’s true that we both like to mark our territory now and then (it’s just a boy thing). Mummy is blaming the Phantom Piddler – we don’t know who that is.

This is so boring

We’ll show them who’s higher up in the peeing pecking order.

Ocean views

Another walk along the coast.



Another great view



Sometimes the waves come up so high that I get scared they will sweep me away.

As soon as I smell the ocean I start howling with excitement. 

Charlie, the Sea Dog

The dog ate what??

For the record, it wasn’t this week’s homework so I’m not really in trouble.

Our big brother made it into a paper aeroplane, which I couldn’t resist chasing.  Since I shredded that one, he’s going to make me another J
