'Our Little Kitchen Helper'

Here helping make dinner tonight. She's busy grating up the cheese for the pasta that her and MsMun have made (which was just divine).

After lunch today we visited the park in Warrandyte for a cake and drink. It started to rain lightly and Bella was standing out in it, trying to catch raindrops on her tongue. We were admiring the young guy's dogs on the table next to us. He had two Dachshund puppies, then got chatting to him about all sorts of different subjects. He grew up in Melbourne and then moved to Sydney and has since bought himself a house in Katoomba (in the Blue Mountains). His friend he travelled down with was an Architect who had come to check out all of there new local Architecture around Melbourne.

The kids had a play in the playground for a while before heading back home.

I dropped the family off and headed out to the airport to meet and greet our two lovely UK Blippers who are in Melbourne for the next week or so and will be sharing Christmas Day with us. After the slight worry of not finding one of their suitcases (which eventually did come out, and had been opened and checked by security) they picked up their hire car and followed me out of town up to their accommodation in the Dandenongs. We chatted, drank multiple cups of tea, met the owner of the lodge and then I left them at Kelly's Bar for dinner while I headed back home to this scene at the Kitchen table.

Ironing to be done tonight, hope there's some 20-20 cricket on to watch.
