Year of the Rabbit

This morning I ventured out to Lyall Bay to visit my friend Fiona, she lives in the most fantastic little nautical house and this is her front door. I've always admired it - but today I thought I'd actually take a picture.Once of the reasons I decided to head out to Fiona's place was to visit her new pets - two rabbits. They are super cute don't you think? Fi and I spent our morning hanging out in her garden with the rabbits drinking tea and eating summer fruit. Fabulous!
In the afternoon I returned to town to watch the Chinese New Years parade with Rich and our friend Nankz. The parade was much smaller than I remeber it being other years but it was still pretty great - I really love Chinese Dragons and Lions and the Chinese Opera Costumes. The smaller Chinese Lions were being fed lettuce - I am not sure what the significance of this is but if anyone out there knows please tell me. It's so intriguing.
