:: 52 weeks of happy, 3/52 ::

Here are four of many happy moments from my week.

1.  Roasting a chook in the slow cooker on a stinking hot day (no hot kitchen with the oven on), with French Tarragon from the garden, paprika and garlic.

2.  The Pandorea (Australian native climber) in the garden room flowering for the first time.  It's been planted for about four years.

3.  Spending a wonderful day at the Australian Open Tennis yesterday and watching amazingly talented athletes like Novak Djokovic and Radek Stepanek play a fantastic game of tennis that was SO entertaining.  Five rows back gave us an incredible view.  Thank you to my sister and brother-in-law for the opportunity to go.

4.  Eating home grown beans fresh from the garden.

Just as I lined up this photo, Stripey decided to sharpen his claws on the wooden garden edging.  So cute!

Wishing you many happy moments in the coming week.

Photos from the Australian Open

Hello everyone.  I had a wonderful day at the Australian Open with the weather being perfect.  It was overcast and with a temperature of about 24C instead of being the usual 30 - 35C with the sun out and boiling hot.  We were sitting in row E, so five rows from the action and behind the Umpires chair with an incredible view.  I managed to get a few good action photos and a few others for pure entertainment!!

Still having problems with ill fitting undies.  Would someone please, please design some undies for Rafa that fit properly.

He's buff!

For Mum!  :)

Rafa's opponent Lukas Lacko was very good too.

 

The Fed played brilliantly.

Sorry for the photo overload, but I had a REALLY good day and wanted to share.  Have a fab weekend everyone.

Australian Open

Tomorrow I have the very good fortune to be going to the Australian Open Tennis.  My sister's husband receives tickets from his work and my sister invites me to go with her, her neice who play tennis and another friend.  I have been a number of times before and it is such a wonderful day with the opportunity to see world class tennis players doing their thing.

Our tickets allow us into the Rod Laver Arena where we will get to see Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and  others playing on outside courts if we wish.  It's amazing to see these superb athletes hitting the ball with immense power and moving around the court with speed and agility.  We have seats quite close and have a very good view of the play.  I hope to take some action photos to share with you in my next post.

I hope you are having a great day/evening.
