Premiers!

Rachel's basketball team stormed the Grand Final yesterday, bolting away in the first half before winning 23-18 against Eltham. The girls played ferocious defence and patient offense to cap a fine performance and do what no VFL/AFL team could ever do in the old final four system - win a Premiership from third place.

The girls played most games with only five or six players, and played a magnificent finals series. Celebrations followed!

Baby Budgies

We've been counting the accumulation of eggs over the past couple of weeks... it got up to 12 before they started to be broken open... the first two didn't seem to produce anything...
But yesterday appeared the first baby: here's a sneak look... it's the little pink thing. If you click on the image, it will enlarge for a better look.

There's a few more still to hatch, so hopefully over the next few days we might see some more appear.

A Growing Household

Late last year we added some budgies to the household. These gorgeous pets have taken to increasing their own number - at least potentially. Between them they have laid 12 eggs, the first of which was destroyed. We are now waiting to see how many of them will hatch, and what colour they might be.
