Busy, busy weekend

Its amazing how some weekends are quiet and then others are just completely manic. This weekend has been the later! On Friday night Hamish had his class camp. He came home from school at the normal time and after a shower and homework he returned to school to spend the evening camping - there was the option to sleep over until Saturday morning but we had to get him to Lake Tinaroo for the 2013 Hop N Howl Scout event by 8am so I picked him up at 9pm on the Friday night
As we had to drop Tish off at work by 7am and Tinaroo is a good 90mins drive away a busy morning was to follow. We got there in plenty of time and then much to Xanthe and Cameron's disgust turned round and drove straight home again via Smithfield to do the shopping before picking Tish up from work....unsurprisingly the rest of Saturday was spent doing lots of nothing!
On Sunday I relented and as Tish was not at work I went up and collected Hamish myself - in typical camp style the only dry item in his bag was his flannel!
He had a great time but after two late nights was completely knackered and rather grumpy so an early night was the order of the day for everyone!
On another note our Olive-backed Sunbirds are close to fledging and the two chicks are spending a lot of time looking out the nest

One of the trees in Allans garden is currently in flower much to the joy of the local Rainbow Lorikeets
The flowers are the white balls that are hanging down, the other white bits are the new leaves that seem to come out in groups and then darken up as they get older
