Daaaaaaa belllllllllllllls!

There must be an age when kids want to blog (write diaries in the olden days!)
Ours haven't reached it.

After a lazy morning the bones took a trip to Cottesloe beach again.
The waves were good and so was the sand castle building.
Kept looking for 'that fin' but didn't turn up - shame.
Lunch back at the house and an afternoon in the pool.
I guess that's how Saturdays should be here.
The highlight of the day was a trip to the open air cinema for the adults. A showing of Argo at 8pm in kings park. What a a top experience.
Perfect temp, beers, g&t's, cheese and biscuits, blankets, cushions and a top film.
You lie on your back watching the film and every once in a while you look away from the screen to gaze at the stars.
Shame the weather is so pants in the uk we can't do it.

Ak and I had an early start for a proper bike ride 0645. We basically cycled a big loop around swan river. What a great way to see the area. We did about 45km in total in 90 mins.
There are loads of cyclists out and about at that time - and I mean loads.
We even passed a local cricket match! They do morning tea here instead of afternoon tea.
We got back in time for me to drive the bones to the swan tower again! And this time Laura was there. We arrived a bit late after I'd done several loops on the Perth freeway and they were already ringing the bells.
What's quite cool about it, is the tower has several levels so you can see the bell ringers and then you can go up and see the actual bells ringing without being deafened. I bet you can't do that in many places in the world.
In fact (boring fact). The swan tower is one of only 3 places in the world where they have sixteen bells. One for trivial pursuit.
Anyway, after the bell ringers had stopped we popped in to say hello to see if April could get a photo holding a rope (or Sally if you know your stuff).
Hold a rope! No no no. You can have a full-on go!!
April rang several bells and they even got the group back in for her to join in a session - amazing.
In fact they even got Flo, Hugo, Charlotte and I having a go.
Flo got lifted off the floor - funny.
So after 3 attempts it was thoroughly worth it.
We then headed back to the house and went out for a picnic lunch by the river - today was very very humid (which is quite unusual) so we didn't last long.
Charlotte then made roast lamb dinner (Aussie style - in a bikini!).
We all stuffed our faces and the kids are now in bed, and I'm enjoying a cold beer outside.
Lovely.

Oh forget to mention, one of Laura and Aks friends paid a visit in his imported Mustang. Had to take a photo. Sounded so good.
