So today we got up early, went to the garage sales (we found no ponies, but did get some ribbon & flowers & things, so it wasnt a lost cause after that we stuffed about a bit then went out to oakdale farm, a petting zoo with all sorts of wierd & wonderful creatures, after the farm, we grabbed some muffins & headed down to the beach. Onto the photos! My donkey friend - I <3 donkeys, this one decided that it wasnt only nice for a pat, but my hand looked like a tasty treat, and so did my hoodie jacket super cuteness though And skimble giving my new friend a pat Some of the baby goats getting a feed from skimble A red kangaroo getting some food & a pat from skimble, they were so soft & fluffy, and most of them were so gentle too This is the satanic llama skimble talked about in the last post, hounestly, its posessed! I was giggling & saying that it couldnt be that bad whilst snapping some piccies, the photo above of me feeding it was me completely freaked by its teeth & going 'here, take the bag, I dont want you eating out of my hand <.<' Seriously, skimble is being nice, I didnt handle the llama much better, and it stalked us around the farm too A sulpher crested cockie that could say 'hello' and that was about it. Skimble feeding some little lambs, they were so sweet! I am nt a fan of goats, but this little fellow was cute! And so soft to touch I said to skimble this cutie needed some green, grey & purple hair & could almost pass as a cute little version of her persona stormblast, such a sweet little pony Here is another shot of that gorgeous horse, he really did know he was a hunk Patting some more kangaroos, these were eastern greys I think? A dingo, cause it was too cute not to post a picture of And at the beach, the newley named belle enjoying the scenery Naughty girl stole my lighter & tried to light a bin fire! She really is a terror if you let her out of your site, didnt know she was a pyromaniac until today though <.< All the girls on the picnic rug And belle burried in the sand!

It's so much fun to see the pictures from both of you, to see everything from two sides! Again, absolutely gorgeous pictures! More goats, KANGAROOS!!, cockatoo and a dingo? Oh, and real horses too! Not to mention Ponies ^_^
The picture of you and the llama is so funny, no offense! I'd be freaked out, too. From the front it looks like he's as thin as paper, LOL! He could stand behind a tree and be watching you.
I completely forgot to add that the flowers make the thrifties look gorgeous!

vette you cant forget the donkeys lol! If you are unsure what a dingo is, its the Australian version of a dog pretty much, They tend to be a reddish orange colour though, this one was pretty pale but still cute And seriously, the llama was freaky! But I gotta agree, the piccies are funny we were laughing at them last night

Oh, those pictures are so awesome, fingerpaints, Skimble took some absolutely beautiful pictures of you no the beach! You both are so beautiful and look like you're having the time of your lives, creepy alpacas and all! Those donkeys, the mini, and the kangaroos all look so soft and fun to pet. And I want to steal both of your bags! Skimble's green plaid one and fingerpaints' mlp one! *big squishy hugs* I wish so bad that we could join you guys! Someday. Someday...

We're DEFINITELY having the time of our lives! (Well, except when I was close to that alpaca/llama/whatever it is, which was more of a 'get me the hell out of here' moment...)
Vetten, I swear, there's plenty of places around Australia where you can feed and pet a kanga, we'll so take you to one! And yeah, black cockies are rarer, but really gorgeous, with either yellow, orange or red on their tails...
Hey, next time I go to Melb I'll see what colours there are in the bags. Or maybe they even have a website, I'll have to look. But I'm never buying a handbag from anywhere else now, I just love them.
Yeah, it wouldn't be much fun if only one of us had a camera!
If only one of us could invent a magic pony teleporter that would let us all just appear here right now... *sighs* We so want you here!
But, we found you each a fakie this morning. Vetten, we got you a yellow Ember-pose baby with green hair, and Shelle ... well, check your sitting baby lanard thread soonish... *evil grin*
Plus we got another cool squishy fakie and some pony blankets at the markets, even if they were a bit light on...

Ooh, cool! Thanks for checking that out for me! I like the size, design and pattern, of course, so maybe I'll end up getting you to buy one for me, if you want of course You found me a fakie? For real? That is so sweet of you! I have one in similar colors, though, with a diaper on.. I don't mind having an extra (especially not from you two!) but there might be another collector who wants it, then. Thank you so much for thinking of us when you're out fakiehunting together. That is just so awsome *gets a little too emotional* I need a hug!

No, Vetten, you NEED this fakie baby, she's the sister to Little Boy Blue - they were released in Australia as a set with the pink Talking Pony adult you're getting, so this way you have all three and the complete set. She's not a double for you, seriously. But thank you for being so lovely, though!
And of course I can pick you up a bag! I'll check when I get home about websites and such, or you can just tell me a colour you might want. Whatever works. I'd always help you out, Vetten - or anyone else who wants a Duchess bag...
*glomp-hugs*

*gives vetten big squishy fakie nirvana hugs* I dragged skimble up to the top of town today, which wound up being not as nice as I wanted, but still some nice views & all. We went to Civic park which is just gorgeous, and snapped some photos of the gorgeous fountain in the middle, the art gallery across the road was playing jazz music, so we walked in & turned around & walked back out! lol! Also went to Christchurch Cathederal, it has the most stunning interior & wanted to show skimble, unfortunately the pipe organ sounded like someone was learning it that happened to be tone deaf. So we got outta there quick too, then we went somewhere a bit nicer, Fort Scratchley, which is an old barracks overlooking the sea, gorgeous views & a place to unwind. We managed to snap a few nice shots up there & also stopped a security guard whilst taking photos with ponies in hand, I told her it was ok, I was nuts The water fountain at civic park Skimble in front of the water fountain And some of our rescue ponies in front of the water fountain (this one didnt turn out too flash sorry, the ponies are a bit blurry & bright from the sun) And some shots of fort scratchley This is a shot of nobby's breakwall from fort scratchley, such a gorgeous beach along there 2 of the rescues in front of nobbys breakwall and of course a shot of the gorgeous skimble in one of the guard huts

I realise that, Skimble, I actually don't have anything similar anyway, so either way I need that girl! Plus, getting a complete set.. That is just awsome, in lack of any better words. Thank you so much again!
As for the bag, pink, (black) red and purple is my favorite choice in the same order. Thank you, again, your awsomeness is hard to describe!
Belle and lanard look so cute in front of the pretty beach <3 As do Kim in the all the pics, too, of course! I love the last pic - guard huts are cute!

We went trail riding thismorning, and could only snap a few shots on my piece of poo camera phone, so excuse the poor quality. We went to sahara trails for a 1 hour bush ride, and skimble got 'clyde' the massive clydesdale to ride, stunning boy though, and I got 'bluey' the black thouroughbred, both were very sweet natured horses and we had a nice ride, would have been awesome if we could have ridden side by side, but the horses had a 'pecking order' so we had to ride single file, kim got the back cause she was most experienced, and I rode in front of her, bluey however didnt like the mud patches much, so kept trying to make his own tracks, clyde just followed along! lol! These shots are form both of us using my camera phone, so im posting on behalf of skimble as well Onto piccies! These were a couple of the other lovely bay horses tied up together in the yard A couple of the other horses out the back preening each other, just had to put this one in, its poor quality, but oh so cute <3 skimble on the back of clyde and giving him a pat after dismounting (and me asking for a smile of course! lol!) me giving bluey a pat, he didnt want to pose for the camera though and a shot of bluey on his own (for some reason the shot of clyde on his own didnt stay on my camera, not sure what happened) Will update again soon ;D **************************************************** EDIT: These are some shots from thisafternoon, we went up to one of the gorgeous lookouts near glenrock reserve, as well as king edward park & the oblisk. Here are the photos Here's belle overlooking glenrock, its so grgeous up there skimble with kimono in front of glenrock the rotundah in the middle of king edward park with skimble & kimono a water fountain in king edward park, had to put the ponies on it & take some shots, there is skimble in the background photographing kimono belle & kimono on top of the water fountain we spotted the kids play area & had to let the ponies have some playtime after another long day Here are some shots of the obelisk, skimbe & kimono are in front, its huge & has the most gorgeous 360 degree views from up there belle on top of a thingy in front of the obelisk and this is the house across the road which fingerpaints wants to own, you other fakies could come live there too this is all for the moment at least, more photos later

I've got to go and find my photos of Amy from yesterday, I seem to have lost them! But I've got some more of our adventures today... The trail ride was fun, although Clydey was freaking huge! I couldn't believe for a moment that they were going to put someone as small as me on such a huge horse (apparently he's prone to putting his head down to graze and is last in the pecking order, and since they put the most experienced rider last and need someone to ride him that can handle him...) - I've ridden tall Thoroughbreds before, but man, that horse was wide across the ribcage, it nearly felt like my hips were going to pop out of their sockets! It was all fun, although I think I prefer riding smaller 14-15 hand galloways! I must say, though - Clyde hoofed through the mud like it wasn't even there, I've never ridden a horse that didn't stop to dance around the mud! Before the ride we stopped to say hi to some ducks - waiting for their regular feeding time by locals! This arvo, as Fingerpaints said, we went to the glenrock look out, which was really pretty! Kimono had to stop to try and figure out the mystery of the behind-glass ponies ... is Fingerpaints' car some kind of Pinkie asylum...? Then to the gorgeous King Edward Park! Yesterday they'd had a wedding, so Kimono had to check out the rose petals... ... and then get a drink... But the bubbler wasn't working, so she decided to pose in front of another fountain instead. Both Kimono and the camera got pretty wet! Believe it or not, I was holding the camera above my head to get this shot, the fountain is pretty tall! Kimono and Belle stopped at the playground for a moment... We then went to the obelisk, where I stayed true to sneaky tradition while Fingerpaints admired the gorgeous view: And of course, we had to pose in front of it! Kimono had to check out the direction plate, of course, and figure out the locations of all the dams and Newcastle suburbs, seeing which ones she'd visited! Oh! I found ONE photo from yesterday, Fingerpaints in the guard's hut! The security guard was so funny, standing back and watching us: Oh, and Vetten - that's the HK shirt!

Awwh, you look like you had a wonderful day yesterday! I'm so sorry I haven't wrote either of you (or been active here at all), I've just been so busy with chores for my family. I love the pictures! Keep 'em coming - and Skimble, that is one hell of a HK shirt! *jealous*
