Hello Karma: November 2008

Killa Kalli (a lot of photos here)

So ben and i went to Kalgoorlie last week and we decided to take my beast for a drive. I must say i am impressed with its stamina on a 7 hour drive. We went to Kalgoorlie to meet up with his Mum who lives there, and his sister(s) that live in England and Carnavon. We had an early christmas and ate a lot of food! I will try limit words throughout this post and there will be so many photos!

The only thing we could find to eat at 6 in the morning.

On our way to the Great Eastern Highway we saw Maxy!!

Our first stop at a roadhouse, we saw a familiar sight..

Talking parrots

Chips and biltong

Treats

The happs

Can't start a hellokarma post without food, had flipside last sunday, first time in a while. was amazing as usual. Also had roast veggies this week, yummo.

This bird visits work every so often, perched on a pretty thin edge.

There are bees living outside moment we think, unless they are there just drinking water. Apparently bees are very scarce nowadays.

Rinny checking to see if there is a hive in there or not.

So ive taken the plunge and joined the gym, i go 4 times a week, body combat and super fat burner. Actually loving it!

Aids rent

Friday night skates are back on due to daylight savings coming back. This is our last year of trial for it in Perth, everyone vote yes! I do admit that in the transition period i am pretty tired even though it is only a 1 hour difference. I think rinny is bored waiting for the game to start!
