Today I had to go to Parramatta to register a new business name, Paperwork Friend.  We went about 11am and then  had a wander around the shopping centre, well we checked out the toy store so not much looking on my part.  We then had some lunch, cheese & bacon rolls & a gingerbread man for Henry and Freya and 2 sushi rolls for me (I have lost weight this week so I tried not to ruin a good thing with a greasy lunch).  

After lunch we headed to Parramatta Park, which is between Westmead Hospital and Parramatta Football stadium.  I wasn't really sure what we would find but it is a very pretty park and we found a playground with parking very close,  Strangely though there were loads of pigeons.  Henry made me laugh at everything he said in the first five minutes :

• While looking through a telescope - "Mum, look at me, I am sailing the 7 seas"
• "Look at that beautiful stream" - A pretty stagnet part of the river
• "I didn't know pigeons could fly"  - Yes Henry they are birds
• "There are lots of flying things here today"  - Again yes there were a variety of birds, pigeons, crows, ducks, big beak birds.

I think the movie 'The Birds' was written by someone with a child like Henry.  The photo on the swing is him making sure a pigeon doesn't attack him.  Do pigeons attack people???
Freya looks like she has grown again and the photo of her climbing the spiderweb shows how much bigger she is; looking more like a preschooler.
