Mike and I were banished last night into the main house as we were going for a ride in the morning. Mike slept in front of the fire and I in mum and dads bed. Just a little creepy.

Woke up at 5:30 am and was bloody cold. About 3 degrees. Got up and got on the bike at 6:30. Decided to head into Wollombi. Very cold and mist everywhere. Could not seein front of your face. Got to wollombi and there were cars everywhere. At 7 am??? Remembered it was ANZAC day and everyone at the tav for dawn service.

Went a few Kms on the broke road then turned around. When we hit the front gate the fog cleared.

Scrambled eggs and bacon for brekkie. Buggered around for a few hours then headed off in the cars to Finchly lookout. All very impressed. On the way back I decided to find the spot where we can see the house from the road. Picked the wrong spot but managed to stumble on a echidna. Everyone jumped out of the cars for photos. Very cute.

Headed home and made pizza for lunch as mike was teaching Ben to drive on the flat. After a long lunch I headed off to fairy land with all kids as bel made Anzac bikkies. Tea a bikkies as they packed the car then they headed off after a few games of catch.

Made yellow chicken curry for the ladies and gave them a early night. And here we are. 8:30, two bottles of wine done and the fire on. About to watch a movie then catch tadpoles with the morts in the morning.
