Hello!!

Took the girls out for a walk, to try and get Mia to sleep.  But she was having none of it.

On the way back we stopped at the park, so Isabella could have a little play.  I was sitting on the seat when this Pied Butcher bird flew down.  He startled me at first as I thought he was a Magpie.

Magpies tend to swoop if they've got a nest, and they can give a nasty peck.  But the Butcher Bird, is quite friendly and was probably looking for food.

Anyway, I took Isabella back home and left her with her Grandpapa, and took Mia out for another walk.  Eventually, she slept.  But she hasn't been very happy today. 

Oh!  And I saw my first Christmas Pudding on sale in the supermarket!!   Really think it's way too early!!
