Valerie and Jane at the pennant dinner....we had a great night, after a great season of pennant golf...looking forward to next year!

 

Keith Urban in concert at the Arena....6 rows from the front...stunning performance from him and his band.

 

 The last of the roses (David Austen's Mary Rose) before they were pruned today...such a gorgeous winter's day, Pete and I tried to stay outdoors most of the day.

 

 

Pete looking at the map of Iceland and trying to find the towns we are booked to stay in overnight...rather difficult, such a different language.

 

My pansies are flowering.....

 

Darling daughter....and Todd came for dinner this evening...always a pleasure to see them.

 

This was the view outside one of our windows at work...the sun had just risen ...the new building is the Central Law Courts and the old is one originally belonging to RPH.

 

Near Claisebrook Cove in East Perth, another gorgeous winter's day .

 

Our yummy dessert at  lunch today after pennants , at the Karrinyup Golf Club....

 

The putting green of the stunning Joondalup Golf Course where Pete played pennants this afternoon.

 

And after pennants we sat around Barb's warm and charming firebox with a glass or two of wine.

 

Rain, rain, rain....we had a very heavy downpour this afternoon, which always results in a small river of water flowing down our footpath. Good weather to sit at home and watch the ladies golf...the US Open.

 

Our HUGE lemons...and they are very juicy!

 

A warm muffin and a cup of tea ...it's not all bad playing golf in the rain.

 

Raindrops on roses.....

 

The view from my window at work...rather miserable outside.

 

This afternoon I finished reading "The Birdwatcher" by William McInnes, a wonderful read, and I was inspired to take some photos of birds...I quite like Willy Wagtails..such lively little birds.

 

I really enjoyed another day of perfect Perth weather..18 holes of golf this morning with Pete, Mardi and Idris ...and a pleasant walk around the river this afternoon with Marguerite and Barb.

 

The coldest morning so far this year....and we have the beach to ourselves!

 

Walking through Subi Centro on our way to the Regal Theatre to see the WAAPA production of West Side Story...lovely walk, great show.

 

Sitting outside with a cup of coffee....

 

I was trying to take some photos of the full moon rising but thought this photo was quite pretty..of our liquid amber

 

Winter...our prunus tree in the late afternoon.

 

The cover of the new book by Tara Moss..."The Fictional Woman"...Pete and I went to see her speak at UWA tonight...she was an excellent speaker.

 

Mt Lawley Golf Club....where we won our metro Div 2 pennant match today against Nedlands....we were certainly a happy bunch of ladies.

 

More birthday celebrations for Jeremy at Tash and Todd's tonight....with Mandy, Graeme and Phil.  It seems like I am not the only one who likes blue and white stripes.

 

A cool change today...slept in, walked to Dome where we caught up with Dani and Adrienne..then spent the rest of the day relaxing and reading in our very comfortable apartment.

 

We are down in Mandurah for the weekend. Today I played golf and Pete caddied at the Mandurah Country Club and then Pete and I spent a wonderful relaxing afternoon swimming, lying by the pool and walking on the beach. Who would have thought it was winter!

Happy Birthday Jeremy....We had a lovely family meal at Tash and Todd's.

 

Beautiful tulips that Tash and Todd brought me in the Mud vase that Taryn and Chris gave me...with sunlight on their petals.

 

Our liquidamber is looking stunning...

 

What a stunning winter's day it was today...there was absolutely no breeze and our lovely lake at the golf club was like a mirror! Good thing it was a holiday.

 

Mandy at her birthday lunch...drinking yummy french champagne.
