Weekend at Jules & Rob's Oct 12

This lot come in all day for a pat and some hand feeding it is soooo lovely to see. They are really tame so we are guessing they do the rounds of Claremont and Swanbourne getting fed.

Daddy I would think

The baby we think.

Rob hand feeding

Only in Swanbourne does your dog and rug have to match!

Below: Babe getting a much loved scratch from Grandma.

This little one has to wait until the Kooka's have gone and then he comes in for a feed as well. This is on Jules and Robs balcony which sits high up in the trees.

I got a lovely Iceberg climbing rose from Dawson' s in Swanbourne, they have a great supply of healthy plants and are helpful. I also managed to get a fig tree which I have been looking everywhere for so I was happy with that.

Sunday takeaway Lunch Falcon

Sienna was dancing around my bed on Sunday morning and when I asked what she was doing she said "Gangnam Style" I nearly fell out of bed and she can dance, I found this sheep doing the same dance on Face Book she is going to love it!

I promised Sienna chicken and chips and one would think Red Rooster would have some at 1.30pm on a Sunday..NO.went to pop the order in .......................we have sold out of chicken and it will be 10 minutes. I said I would leave it after I picked my mouth up off the ground........but had to wait for at least 5-6 minutes before I could get out of the line-up........so off we go to McDonald's.

I got Sienna a chicken burger and some chips......they seemed miffed I did not know what I wanted to order so I left it up to them - just explained I wanted chicken and chips for the child or monster.......

Out came a squashed burger with the BRIGHT ORANGE CHEESE stuck to it.......................we had Rex the little dog with us and when she would not eat it I tried to feed it to him (he who will eat a shit sandwich) and NO could not come at this lot.

I think they got the chips out of the bin, freezing cold and looking worse for wear..........Rex  turned his nose up at them also when Sienna dropped the packet. This may have been my punishment for rolling the eyes at the 12 year old order taker!!!!!!!

0-10 for Red Rooster and McDonald's they are both a disgrace in my books..

Sienna and her mate Rex

I get so jacked off the businesses in Mandurah never seem to do well, and I am thinking now I know why!

The Cut Mandurah October 2012

 Sienna walking Rex at The Cut Mandurah.

These two are really good pals.
Sienna's saying this week "I am a clever clop"

However

This is what some idiot has done to Wade's memorial boogie board.........burnt it......lovely for his family and friends I am DISGUSTED  and guessing the moron that did this also did the graffiti on all the white walls, it makes me sick these fools ought to get a life and let the rest of us enjoy the beauty of this place without all this crap! Link to Wade's story

Animal Photos I love that came in an email.

My garden October 2012

Not sure what these suckers are they came up by themselves. I think they must be a bulb. They are so pretty they start off with a green cone head that opens to heaps of white flowers......very pretty I must say.

Below are my "HIPPIES" that are just starting, I brought these up from Bouvard and did not think they liked it here but are doing really well now. 4 lovely big flowers on each spike. The mulch and sheep poo must be working!

The three Jacks

Archie, Daisy & Molly waiting while I dry my hair so they can see what the day will bring.

Early walk for you lot down the oval playing ball, or should that be fighting over the ball, they are fast little suckers. I love the way Archie tilts his head when he listens to me talk to him. I am really going to miss this lot this time as it was such a long stay and they were so much fun.- Archie and I are now "besties" funny little dog he wants to sit on my knee all day long! I think he may have popped on some weight - I hope not, but he is not as active as the other two.........................

I need one of these for our buck tooth rabbit "Sienna"
See lunch at "The Highway Hotel"

Rex came to stay for nearly a week and Sienna was here also as Trav. was in Broome visiting Scotto.

This dog loves kids they did everything together. They both had a great time. Sienna called him a Clever Clop or Rex the wonder dog.

Teeth cleaning  Rex was there to help he did not leave her side.

JERRY I am guessing a Springer Spaniel with a name like that. Becky his Mum dropped him in so she could go shopping he cries for her if he is left. He did to start with but a game of ball down the park and a biscuit fixed that. He was a good little man.

5th October 2012 PRONTO'S Mandurah

Kathy and I had a Friday lunch here and my was it GOOD...........no............TERRIFIC
I also went there just a couple of weeks ago for another friends birthday and this applies to both. I had the same food both times and so did my friends.
Oysters to die for and Local whiting cooked to PERFECTION, lots of too.
Both friends had the salmon and raved about it, I am not a salmon person so did not try it
The wine list is fabulous, the staff excellent
10-10 I would highly recommend it.

Trav's birthday lunch at EATON TAVERN 6th October 12

The three of us arrived and it was not very busy so we thought we were in for a great day, after hearing so many good reports about the food. The staff were not at all helpful or friendly. They never brought over the kids menu for Sienna or her colouring in. We decided on a tasting plate and some oysters to start with. That arrived and they never gave us a side plate to eat off until I asked and then only brought two!
The Oysters were the big suckers but I must say fresh and even Trav. tried a couple. The tasting plate was tasty with a couple of dips, some bread sausage, feta and olives. We were chatting and picking away when out she came with our mains, and no where to put them!. We had not finished picking - well we had now thanks to the waitress.! she never said a word just popped the mains down with us making room for the plates!.
Trav and I both had a steak, tomatoes must still be expensive as no sign of any in the salad! The steaks were OK not brilliant.
So I must say even though we had heard such great reviews about Eaton Tavern to me the service was NON existent on a quite day, people had to wait for ages at the bar to get their drink order filled, so all in all not a place I would recommend. It is not cheap pub food so you should expect a pleasant experience.
2 out of 10 for mine! and we will not be going back.
