WAIPU COVE, LANGS BEACH, RUAKAKA ETC....

Here is a selection of photos from yesterday....


Trees changing colour, it's Autumn (Fall)....



ABOVE AND BELOW: chooks on the side of the road, we stopped and gave them bread. Griffin ate some bread too.




ABOVE AND BELOW: the southern end of Waipu Cove, a very beautiful beach in Bream Bay.




The following four are of Langs Beach, which is near Waipu Cove, I love this beach:




The following one I took at Ruakaka... it's really exposed to the open sea... huge long beach, goes for miles and at it's far north end is Marsden Point, which has an oil refinery there.

So, there ya go. Who's sick of seeing beaches ??? lol

I promise we ain't going to any today.

In fact, not sure what we are doing..... might just be a 'hang around the house' sort of day.
I'm moving stuff... I want to bring the exercycle up from the garage and have it in the family room... so.... moving stuff. AND I moved a couch in the lounge and it's made a huge difference to the room! Will show ya soon....
So, I'm sitting in the lounge, yakking with a girlfreind who's dropped in for a visit... Teddy is on me lap... and I see a BLOODY FLEA on him! Ewwewwwwww.... I nab it and drown it pronto! Frontline is crap obviously! It's only been 1 month since I put Frontline on him.. it's supposed to last 2 months... pffffft. So, I've put more on Teddy and put him outside till it's dry. Now... I am itchy! (mind over matter I know)...
End of Day: I'm still bloody itchy! Just thinking about fleas gives me the creeps. Evil little buggers they are. nite nite.

    Lovely photos!!

    Ahem !! 'chooks on the side of the road, we stopped and gave them bread. Griffin ate some too.'

    I gather that was the bread that Griffin ate...and not the chooks :-) :-)

  9. Frontline did not work for me either. The only flea medication that has EVER worked on my dog is Revolution. (it is also for worms, mites, and heartworm..kind of an all-in-one medicine) that I buy at petsheddotcom :)

  11. Frontline is crap. You have to use it every month for it to have ANY effect! You should get some CAPSTAR as it kills the fleas a few hours after you give it to the dog. I don't know if you have it over the ditch so here's the website. www.capstar.novartis.us

    The only thing that works with Georgie is a Capstar once a week, a bath once a month followed by a dose of Advantage a few days after the bath. FLEAS SUCK!

  13. Well it's certainly not HIS fault he has a flea.....it could have been on you and then jumped onto Teddy just as you saw it??!!! Have you tried fluffing some of that flea powder into your hair?? If you start to get the urge to drag your bum on the carpet...get yourself straight to the vet!!! wahahaaaaaa

  14. Your beaches are glorious. Could be in Australia!!!!

    The thought of fleas doesn't make me itch (even though I react in a very itchy way to bites) but the slightest mention of nits and head lice and I turn into a scratching fiend.

    whoops ...

    shouldn't have said that ...

    *scratch scratch scratch*!

  15. What Nola forgot to add is if you start to sniff Stew's bum get yourself to a vet too!

    :P
