Down Time

Millions of people have turned off their noisy alarm clocks, rolled over and slumbered long into the morning.  It's officially a public holiday but not for us! We are up at the same time but with a slightly hyped up agenda.  The weather was cool and breezy, later blustery but never intimidating.

Perfect weather for a trip to the park and a burl in the wheelchair. Merv walked for 5 minutes from  the carpark to the first park bench to give him some much needed exercise. We settled on the park bench where  Merv enjoyed a ripe banana.
 

The park was full of families strolling and cycling.  Young parents with little kiddies, some of them peddling away on their tiny trikes followed by their anxious parents  shouting orders.  There were couples and singles with dogs.  The dogs congregate swimming  and running amuck, there are a few ruffians among them.  They entertain everyone and eventually run back to their owners. 

We marvel at the view of the Swan River, it is the highlight of our walk. There are no black swans or dolphins but we enjoy the serenity and beauty of the river.  We share the footpath with the families, the tiny bikies and our four legged friends. It's time to head back to the car and continue our day together.
