day TWO HUNDRED and EIGHTY SEVEN | Year NINE | 2018
Walter was a very popular boy at the Dog’s Day Out at #Floriade today… Fred kept a tally of every time we were stopped for pats and photos… the final count was SEVENTY SEVEN! 77 times we were stopped by a group of people in the less than two hours we were there… and that doesn’t count the hundreds of stealthy photo takers… I really need to start charging a fee!… poor Walter was worn out by all the attention!

Hmmm… this is the new in-joke in our house… squat over your sleeping sister and get a photo… just when you think they are as ‘classy’ as they can get… they out-class themselves :/

Cher baby! CHER!! … I have to admit, if it wasn’t for Darci’s obsession with this lady, and that fact that today happens to be Darci’s birthday, then I never would have bought a ticket to this concert… and I would have missed out an a BRILLIANT show! She was amazing and put on a fantastic performance! I want to be Cher when I grow up!
day TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY FIVE | Year NINE | 2018
Today the Bingley girls (sans Jaimi) made the trek to Bendigo, en-route to Melbourne for the Cher concert tomorrow night… Darci and Xan jumped on the train to head to Melbourne early to spend the night with Zoe & Alex… while Mazz, Willow and I went along to see my niece Jade perform in the musical Grease!

Final Grand Final for the year and finally a WIN! None of our family were in it, but after playing with between 7-9 players all year (when there should be 11!) these girls deserved to be here, and i wasn’t going to miss it!
