Bits & Pieces

Things my funny friends do and say!

My good friend Jane often comes out with funny comments. This was one last week.

[blockquote cite=”Jane” type=”center”]I can’t remember where I was the other day, but I know I was somewhere..[/blockquote]

I have her permission to post this. Always fun to laugh with your friends.

* How much to you think it costs in total to run and fund “our family”?

* What are your top three favourite CD’s/movies/books/magazines/TV shows/websites? What do you most enjoy most about them?

* When you think about your future, what are you most excited about? Afraid of?

* What does it mean to be a leader? Do you know any leaders?

These are great questions to have on hand when you are having family dinners.

Bring out the best in your marriage

Be the encourager in your relationship:

I am more myself with you than with anyone else.

You challenge me to be a better person, you make me feel safe.

Thank you for being the best you can be and for making our life work.

And: Don’t keep bringing up his/her past wrongs ( things they have done that don’t please you).

When you ask these questions try and video their answers or write them down. They will love looking back at them when they are older.

* How did you get to be so handsome/pretty?

* What makes a ball bounce?

* Why does Dad/Mum go to work?

* What does a sad, happy, angry, excited, afraid, mean face look like?

* If you could only keep one of your toys/books, which one would you keep? Why?

* How can you make Mum/Dad smile?

* How do you feel when it rains and thunders outside?

We’ve done this walk many times. We take two cars, leave one in the car park at Avalon and drive to Palm Beach. The first time we did it, we (that would be me) left the key for the car at Avalon in the car at Palmy. We discovered this past Whale Beach so Geoff had to do a quick sprint back to the car. Lucky he has done a few half marathons!!

Start at south end of Palm Beach and take rock pool steps, cross Florida Road and turn L and head up driveway (1A Rockridge) to access bush track at the top (it seems like you are entering private property, but keep going) to L (Public Land sign) up to Rock Bath Road.

Continue Rock Bath Road to Pacific Road and turn L (caution – no footpath).

From Pacific Road, L into Norma Road and turn R (caution – no footpath).

Cross Whale Beach Rd and turn R (caution – no footpath).

Follow road for approximately 100m, then turn L down Public Pathway steps to Whale Beach (across from 246 Whale Beach Road). Continue R along Whale Beach following informal path along dunes or on sand.

Alternatively you could keep walking on Whale Beach Road and turn L down Surf Road.

At south end of beach, past rest rooms, R up stairs to Malo Road.

Turn R at Malo Road, then L into Whale Beach Road.

Follow Whale Beach Road past Dophin Bay and Careel Head Roads.

Turn L into bush path and steps to Bangalley Head Reserve (across road from 58 Whale Beach Road).

Stay L following main trail to top of headland. Near top of headland, track junction at rock outcrop marked with green sign at L (south side of signs reads ‘Loop Trail’). Take L fork of track up over rock outcrop past wooden marker post and lookout (there is a cliff edge rock platform with incredible views north to Barrenjoey and beyond!! Caution No hand rail!).
