This afternoon we drove into the Hills and walked with Bailey in Lesmurdie. We couldn’t of course go into Lesmurdie Falls NP with Bailey (and have been before anyway), so we walked on the other side of Welshpool rd, at the Lions Lookout.
It wasn’t the nicest spot in the hills (though, if we had walked further and in the right direction it would have been nicer), but nice enough, and with a view of the coastal plain and the city.
It’s still around 30 degrees, lovely!
Monday I had to go into the city for Jury Duty. A letter came in the mail about it a few weeks ago. My job is not busy at the moment, and I was looking forward to it, so I didn’t try and get out of it (is very difficult these days anyway).
Had to be there at 8.15, and it took ages to record everyone, people to ask questions, etc etc. There were about 300 people, for about 10 court cases (but only about 12 get picked for each jury).
Eventually the trial was postponed to Wednesday, and on Wednesday I went in, and it was cancelled. What a shame, I didn’t even end up seeing the inside of a courtroom!
It was good to go into the city though, and wander around a bit before I went back to work. I’m not there very often anymore, especially since moving to the southeast.
There were lots of dogs, all wandering free, so eventually we took the lead of Bailey too.

Also some good info about dogs and some dog area’s and beaches NOR from Ballajura Vet here: http://ballajuravet.com.au/dogs.html
This morning we visited King’s Park with Bailey. Dogs are allowed in most area’s of the park, on a leash.
We walked in the parklands area, but there is also a lot of bush (with paths) you can walk in.
Was nice weather, got very hot later on.
Summers come late!
