Custard the pizza dog

Custard was very happy to find a pizza box up at the park one morning.  He carried it around in his mouth, dropped it, picked it up, dropped it again and this time all the pizza crusts fell out.  Whilst he hoovered them up I put the pizza box in the bin and we continued on our walk.  On our second turn of the park he found a second pizza box luckily I removed that one from his jaws before he could pig out a second time.

We're in the middle of the school holidays and Tess has spent the entire week with her friend Sarah whilst Sarah's mum tried to get some work done.  The girls have had so much fun making brownies and lemonade and selling them up at the park, participating in a circus workshop down in Manly, playing tennis, washing the car, doing their very first unaccompanied bus trip on public transport from Warringah Mall to Sarah's house and going to the movies to see How to Train a Dragon 2 and Rio 2. 

Whilst Tess has been hanging at home Tom did a 4 day surf course from 9 to 12 with 2 afternoons back at the High Performance Surf Gym where they learn special exercises and get to practice surf moves on skate boards.  Tom was one of the youngest on the course and he was desperate to be seen to be a big boy so I was constantly told off for trying to help him carry his board, take of his wetsuit etc.  The big kids are gorgeous and always look out for "Tommy Grommy".
