What a beautiful sunrise we had this morning in Perth..I just had to stop on my way to work and quickly take this photo of Claisebrook Cove with my iphone..

 

I took this photo whilst waiting on the first tee at Melville Glades golf club....Veronica, Beth (Julie's caddy), Julie, Mardi and my lovely caddy Barb...we played Joondalup who won the flag, I really enjoyed my game , my opponent (who I lost to) was quite inspirational.

 

As always, we had our pennant dinner this evening , after the final game of the pennant season...this is a photo of Jane , Julie, Helen and myself...what a great night, I haven't laughed so much in ages.

 

....a sweet surprise from Pete

 

City Beach this morning, looking more like down south...a huge swell due to a storm kilometres away....

 

Pete and I saw the Australian Dance Theatre perform "Be Yourself" at the Heath Ledger Theatre this evening. I downloaded this photo from the net...I don't want to forget this remarkable production.

 

First hole, par 4 WAGC...the first time my drive has made the green, I've been close but never actually on....it's the little things in life that bring the most happiness.

 

Nat, Cathy and I spotted this sculpture on our walk after lunch today...it is called Unfolding Lives" by Judith Forrest. It is a memorial to commemorate the thousands of West Australians who were abused as children in state care. It's modeled on the children's game that you make with folded paper.

Tash and I in the Duxton foyer....where we had a quiet drink with Todd and Pete before the Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell concert.

 

Today I was very excited to receive an email from Jeremy saying he had won the Golden Gavel Competition.... a public speaking competition for young lawyers.He now travels to Melbourne for the National Grand Final in October ... well done mate!

 

Our first fire for this winter, for our book club meeting this evening...so cosy.

 

A lovely photo of Chris and Taryn on Mt Wellington in Hobart....

 

An amazing cloud formation over the 11th green at our golf club, where I played in the Gloster James with Swanny, Jane and Les...a beautiful day.

 

A fisherman caught a salmon at Floreat Beach this morning....we haven't seen that before on a Saturday...

 

and a few hundred metres down the beach, this rather large and ugly fish had been washed up, I have no idea what sort of fish it is but it was quite striking in appearance.

 

Two instagrams from today...Chris and Taryn are having an exciting break in Tasmania and Pete is caddying up in Thailand.  I am enjoying the solitude.

 

The latest on our golf club renovations...it looks so bare! ...but I find it very exciting, it is like having renovations done to your own home but minus the hassle.

 

Phil is in town...great night catching up with him and Todd, Tash and Jeremy....champagne for Jeremy's birthday...

 

Dinner and games night to celebrate Jeremy's birthday ...Balderdash being the game of choice...lots of laughs and silliness after a few wines.

 

Wild at the beach this morning, we felt like we were in a spa!

 

 

I attended a most delightful Morning Tea this morning that Margot and her daughters Emily and Sophie hosted....to raise money for the Cancer Foundation. It was a huge success!

 

 

Mandy, Julie, Hannah, myself, Adele, Margot and Laura....

 

Some instagrams from Chris who is in Shanglai for work....

 

Rain...

 

We were all a little miserable to be at work this morning, a public holiday but not a university holiday but we were rewarded with a spectacular sunrise.

 

We all gathered around the windows with our iphones, this is a shot of Nicky.
