This is the last week of term and everyone is ready fr a break! Cameron has not been in school for the last couple of days as he has had a stomach bug - this has added to the others frustration as they have been trying to wangle an extra two days off as well. Cruel daddy did not fall for this!
Thursday was book day and they were allowed to dress up as characters from their favourite books....
Hamish as you can see went as Darth Vader - he also had a little gadget that had DVs breathing on it so he looked very cool.
Xanthe went as Pippi Longstocking - although unfortunately she did not quite have the hair for the ponytails.
Other than that our week has been rather quiet; our sunbirds had a very narrow escape when a Black Butcherbird attempted to get at the nest, luckily the rather unsightly mesh screen did its job and despite a concerted effort the nest and chicks are safe and must be getting close to fledging as they hatched 14 days ago hopefully I will be able to get a picture of it but.
The other unexpected sighting of the week was this beauty
a Common Lionfish. This poisonous fish is regular on the Reef but this one I watched from the Marina wall!

Very impressive. Guessed the Darth Vada. Xanthe may not have had pigtails but her present cut is most attractive. Glad the sunbirds survived. The lionfish is very frilly!!
ReplyDeleteI remember the fish from a picture book I had when I was 10. The costumes look brilliant - acting talent clearly abounds alongside artistic talents.
ReplyDeleteI recognise Dinky Darth's outfit! Didn't think it went to Hamish at the time though....
