Spiders, Aeroplanes and Nespresso

Snapped (hand-held) during an early morning walk on Tuesday (~5:30am)

Later that same day I made the kids some Eggs-Benedict (my version anyway). 
...and even later again I started work on another passion of mine...

One Tuesday we went into the city and looked for some bits-and-bobs for Karla, who is turning 13 very soon.

This stained glass window is inside the Myer store in the CBD.

Final stop before jumping on the train to head home, the Nespresso store to buy some pods. Mmmm!

Snapped these tonight with a small torch and poor lighting, but you get the idea.

Caversham Wildlife Park



...and some wildlife photo's Karin snapped on her trusty 1100D....

A Gang-gang Cockatoo (right) and a pair of Electus parrots. The male is the green one, the female the with a red head.

Golden Possum

Karin and the kids with a Wombat

With a white baby Kangaroo. Something tells me Eugene is going to be more of a "tech head" than a zoo keeper.
The smells associated with animals does not impress him, haha!



Speedy the camel...


The kids going for their first ever camel ride. They loved it and Karin went for a ride after them.

Our Aussie boy among Aussie wildlife.

...and our big princess (who turns 13!! next week), who is now as tall as her mum.

Nespresso. Much (much!) better than I expected.

Been a week now and the little machine is pumping out one perfect espresso and ristretto after another. Just loving it and the old, "real" machine is now in the shed, unlikely to ever be used again. Capsules cost a smidgen, but the coffee is just great, and so much easier than the old way.
