One Year On

Last weekend  was the Million Paws Walk, a big dog event held by the RSPCA every year. We convoyed with Will and Pip so that we could find each other once we got there, with 12000+ people plus 4800 dogs it was a bit crowded.


The theme of the day was Superheroes, so this little guy let his alter ego out for the day

After looking at some of the booths we joined the crowd in a 5km walk around the main lake in Canberra. It was a beautiful sunny day and an easy walk which made the whole thing very enjoyable. Part way around there they had some dogs playing a game called flyball, some game where they have to run over hurdles to collect a ball and run it back to the beginning before the next dog in line goes, it's a type of relay race.

Other then that we haven't been up to much, trying to book our flights home for Christmas, which is difficult with rising oil prices, our dollar going up and, of course, it being Christmas time.

We have been in our house now for 1 year so I thought I'd do a recap of before and afters to show what's changed since we moved in. There isn't much change in most of the rooms but it's the little things Andrew and I are keeping track of.
