Thursday 14th May: A warm(ish) sunny day. It was about 14 degrees today as a nor'wester headed past, and the washing got nicely dry. But still a far cry from 2 weeks ago when we were schooling in the front garden because it was so hot.
In the morning we went on a Playcentre outing to Kelcey's Bush Animal Park. This is right on the edge of town set at the bottom of the Hunter Hills. It's a refuge/rescue centre for animals, which is ironic as it's set next door to a game ranch where you can go shooting deer, ducks, wild pigs and wallabies.
We spent a couple of hours wandering round with the owner as he fed the deer, ducks, wild pigs and wallabies (!) and donkey, sheep, chickens and so on. It was a pleasant and peaceful nature walk around the grounds.
In the afternoon we schooled and the boys got in some extra piano practice before their lessons tomorrow.
After tea Steve came home and I went off to TKD training. When I got home he had been called out and our neighbour Jeanette was babysitting.
The photos are of an alpaca and a turtle we saw at the animal park, and the view from there across to the sea.
