Peter's Birthday!! Family dinner.

 

Walking home from the restaurant "Witch"s Caldron" where Pete and I had dinner...the first of his birthday celebrations.

 

This afternoon after golf, Pete and I  enjoyed hearing Grace Woodroffe in concert at the Fremantle Arts Centre. It was still warm but pleasant under the trees with a glass of wine listening to good music.

Yes, I am having fun playing with the photos and an app from my iphone.

 

Roger Waters and his band in the concert of "The Wall" at the Burswood...simply sensational concert...visually amazing and the sound was fantastic ... the wall was erected while the band performed and then demolished at the end...incredible show.

 

Another hot day...we are indeed fortunate to have air conditioning..this is where I spent a large part of the day, reading and playing the piano.

 

Catherine Triacos performing as the support act for Beth Orton at the Quarry Amphitheatre..delightful music, great company(Tash,Todd and Peter) and an exceptional skyshow of rolling clouds and lightning.

 

We're having a heatwave! Still crowds of people at City Beach this evening at 7.38. The temperature reached 41.1 degrees and it's going to be hot for at least another week!

 

Cassia fistula  -  Golden Shower tree - native to southern asia  -  I look forward to them flowering every year. This one is across the road from my local IGA supermarket.

 

St Mary's Catholic Cathedral...I walk past it on my way to and from the car park to work.

 

Ace Cinemas Subiaco where Jeremy works. This afternoon we saw "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo",fabulous film ,thanks Jeremy for the free tickets!

A night at Gloucester Park...The Fremantle Cup...They are a client of Pete's...we hadn't been in years...the food, wine and company were enjoyable and the night was an experience.

Natalie and I on the 2nd at WA Golf Club..Guest Day... played with Jan and Chris...hot day 36 degrees, some good shots played and an enjoyable time had by all.

 

Lake Monger..is one of three lakes close to where I live that I enjoy walking around. It is a pleasant one hour walk from my house down to the lake, around and back. Early morning or early evenings are the most enjoyable times to go. Listening to new music on my iphone ,thanks to Jeremy makes it even more enjoyable.

 

Played golf at The Cut...on a fine day surely one of the most spectacular golf courses in Australia...fun day with Pete, Natalie and Andrei...lunch was great too!!

 

Very unexpected and delightful present that Andrew and Jo gave us today for watering their pots whilst they were away in England...what a treat!!
