Power-Less Day!
We knew a few weeks ago that today our power would be off between 8am and 4pm while poles were upgraded in the next street.
The girls are fortunately at dancing for a good chunk of Saturdays so I only wanted to find a couple of extra things to do instead of sitting inside when the temperature outside was expected to reach 35 deg.
So before dancing, we checked out the opening of a local primary school (not the one our girls attend) community garden. It was pretty busy when we arrived just after 9am. I managed to pick up a few things but not as much fresh produce as I would have liked, However we all had a good time.
Most of the primary schools here now have vegetable gardens and chickens. The classes all spend time working outside which I think is fantastic. I would have loved this when I was at school!
While the girls were at dancing, I came home and packed a picnic. We headed to Churchman Brook up in the hills. The heat was pretty fierce though, even with a breeze and the flies ... oh boy!
By the time we got home just before 4:30pm the power had been restored! Hooray!!! Hope you all had a happy Saturday too!!!

Catching Up!
We caught up with my brother Warwick today, who was over here from NZ with 7 of his students (and another teacher and 2 parents) for the finals of the Tournament of Minds Competition (you can read more about it here ) It was his first time and Perth and as he goes home tomorrow we chose today to catch up (it was really the only day we could get together in his 4 day stay) As he was staying in Fremantle, we started off there with lunch and then he and the girls went for a ride on the ferris wheel. We took him back to our house in the afternoon and drove on a scenic drive through the hills and bush, then back to Freo for dinner! A great catch-up and great day out in the sunshine!
Just beautiful
With a huge Katy Perry fan in the house, it was lovely to see Katy with this gorgeous little girl.
