WITH A WING AND A PRAYER....

... well it was all happening in the AOG (Alternative Olympics) today, the competition is hotting up and as seen the other day in the half pipe, and yesterday in the Men's snowboard cross, the competitors are putting their bodies (well wings and things) on the line with minimal fear for their safety!

However today "Happy" the Red neck wattlebird was nowhere to be seen at the start of his race!

A TV channel photographer found him here hiding in the shadows flexing his stuff thinking he still had 10 minutes to go!!

Oh well, wattle birds are renowned for their raucous noise, not so much for their speed..... so maybe!!????

A full on day here, Alice had her school assembly, and we then had some great time with Hayley before picking Alice up for a swimming lesson. A super day!!

Enjoy, and have a look in LARGE
