Petting zoo

I am just back from J, my next door neighbour. She is going away next week and needed to give me instructions for taking care of her mini zoo, so I can feed the animals when she is away. Unfortunately hubby is away at exactly the same time, he would have been so much better at it, than me.  I am not a natural choice for this job. For those who know me, you are well aware of my fear of dogs (and to some extent cats), but the neighbour's dog is not very big so I feel I will be able to cope.

Now as it happens her cat passed away at Easter so now I only have to feed one dog, and maybe take her for walks. Also feed some birds in a cage, and two ducks and two hens (and collect eggs). It will be an interesting experience. I'll let you know how I go.

Easter was quite cold and grey here in Sydney, so we stayed home and caught up on stuff around the house. Oh, I forgot we had one very nice restaurant visit as a farewell dinner for friends leaving to go to Sweden.
Having a drink at Circular Quay the first day of my nephew's visit together with E our niece from Melbourne.
My nephew from Sweden has been visiting for three weeks and since our son is still between jobs the two of them did a lot of sight seeing together, involving camping. They went to Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park, but didn't see any dingos or feral camels or snakes but a few kangaroos, mainly road kill. They missed the camel race that was going to be on the week after they left, ashame!


My nephew left yesterday after three action packed weeks and I guess he should be home soon.

This is going to be the shortest ever blog, I simply have to get back to watching "Welcome to Sweden" it's a serie on Youtube that a friend was watching because she is moving to Sweden with her husband. She thought it would help her to prepare for life over there. Hubby says it is right on the nose but I feel that it is a tad exaggerated. Well, up to you to decide if you watch it.

Until next time with a bit more content, cheerio!
