Jane and I played together today in the Jubilee Foursomes....it was a coincidence that we wore the same trousers!

 

Some of the older buildings of Royal Perth Hospital, that I pass on my way to work...on this rather dark and dismal morning!

 

The old and the new...Perth City

 

I took this on the way to work this morning....yet another rainbow photo, I hoped that it was a good sign for today.

 

And it was....Pete and I celebrated with a glass of champagne...a birthday present (from my dear friend Pauline) that I was saving (very hopefully) for this evening.

 

Andrew, Gary and Pete..three of the members of the Div 4 WAGC Pennant team, playing today at Mandurah...three lovely blokes!

 

Marjolijn, Pauline and Mandy enjoying the surf at city this morning...I was very sad that I couldn't go in!

 

A quilt I made for Tash many years ago...sitting on our lounge in the family room at the moment.

 

Gorgeous bare trees and birds along Mounts Bay Road ...on our way into the Mount Hospital this morning.

 

My warm ugg boots...one of birthday presents from Pete...love them.

 

And today I sent this photo to Jessie...taken as I walked out the door after work...I am hoping it is a lucky sign for me this week.

 

My friend Jessie texted me this photo that she took from her window whilst she was rugged up and reading...she wanted me to see it... a thoughtful friend.

 

View down the 8th fairway at WAGC...the storm clouds swirled around us today...but we were lucky...no rain...and Pete won his pennant game..yay.

 

Looking up Nanson Street before the  rain fell this afternoon.

 

The walk track around Lake Monger, on a stunning winter's day.

 

Our liquid amber...the last few leaves.

 

Woodside building Perth city.

 

My beautiful tulips , given to me by Tash and Todd...match my quilt perfectly!

 

I was walking down along the Terrace today and noticed the Australian Aboriginal flag flying on St George's Cathedral for the NAIDOC Week celebrations.

Tonight we had a delicious meal at Chris and Juliet's to celebrate my birthday....with Marguerite, Phil and Wendy...sadly Barb was ill and couldn't come. Jeremy took this photo before he drove us to Blencowe Street.

 

Early birthday celebrations tonight at Mandy and Graeme's...as usual a fabulous meal.

 

This pretty necklace is my birthday present from Natalie and Cathy...love it.  We celebrated together today at lunch at Caffe Italia, it was very pleasant...I had such a nice time.

 

I had a fabulous day today at golf. It was a Silver Spoon competition and I won Div 1 playing with my good friends Sue, Jane and Jessie. After the game there were celebrations for several of us who have birthdays this week...including Jessie and myself. Top day.

 

Latest craze at work.....

 

I've dug out the knitting needles!

 

Another miserable, rainy, windy day in Perth, it is days like this when I don't mind going to work.

 

The view from the top of the 12th at our golf course, I quickly took this with my phone as I was caddying for Pete. It wasn't the best weather to play golf in!

 

A perfect winter's morning for a walk to Lawley's for coffee...with Tash , Todd, Jeremy and Pete.

 

After a rather busy week, it was just wonderful to relax enjoy a delightful meal at the West End Deli restaurant with Natalie, Renate, Sharan, Charlie and Pete...

 

A warm fire at Vanessa's tonight for our book club gathering.

 

A big bird in next door's bird bath. 

 

One of the best things about starting work early is being able to see sunrises like this .
