Queensday 2012

Yesterday it was Queensday, the day our queen celebrates her birthday.

We went to the traditional 'Freemarket', a large open air flea market where there's lots of stuff for sale.
It's called a 'Freemarket' because you don't have to pay a fee to have a stall there.)

I found a new friend at the market!

And we had a really tasty snack: bread with goat cheese, walnuts and honey.

In the evening we went to the movies.
We saw The Hunger Games. I read the book and liked it, so was very curious about the movie. It turned out to be a fun and cool movie.

A Mouse, a Church and a Book

Today we had more visitors coming over for my owner's birthday.
She got this really cool metal mouse, which can also be used as a piggy bank. (Or mouse bank in this case ;-)

She also got a gift certificate, so of course we went into town to see if we could spend it.

It was cold and rainy today, but when we were in town it was dry and there were some beautiful clouds.

In case you're wondering: these pictures were taken at the A-Church.

And we found a book at the bookstore across from the A-Church!
This book has been on my wishlist for some time, so I was glad my owner decided to buy this book with her gift certificate.

We've been really spoilt with gifts for our birthday I must say.
Thanks!
