To celebrate Pete's birthday, Mandy, Gra, Tash, Todd, Jeremy, Pete and I all met at Il Lido in Cottesloe for a delicious lunch, very pleasant it was too.

A storm coming....

 

The tree under which we meet every Saturday....

 

 

Pete, Tash,Todd and I saw Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch at the Concert Hall tonight. It was a fabulous performance and a wonderful birthday present from Tash and Todd. I pinched this photo off the web as no photography was allowed at the concert.

 

Elizabeth Quay was opened today, so I stopped at King's Park to take a photo...probably a bit far away for the iphone. While I was there and it was such a glorious day, I took some more photos. What a beautiful park and city we have.

 

I have just finished reading this book that Pete gave me for Christmas. I predict it will be the best book I will read this year.

 

Guess you came to dinner.

 

South Beach Sunset food market in South Fremantle....delicious food, must take a bottle of wine and a picnic rug next time.

 

Cathy, Nat and I went to Petition Kitchen, a new restaurant opened in the old Treasury Building for our first coffee together in 2016. T'was rather nice.

 

 

A cool swim this morning but no waves...Mandy in the top photo and Margot and Pauline with Mandy in the next.  As it was another very warm day in Perth, Pete and I took ourselves to the movies and saw "Joy", thoroughly enjoyable.

 

 

Cathy, Nat and I had a delicious lunch at Jamie's Italian Restaurant today, to celebrate Natalie's birthday. While we were chatting to our very friendly waitress, I revealed that it was Nat's birthday, so a candle and a small choir of four waitresses came with dessert. Nat was a wee bit embarrassed, so funny. 

 

Helen, Mardi and Julie....my three playing partners today at golf....great to have Julie back at the club even if only for a short visit from her new home in Newcastle.

 

This is Excelsior Street in Shenton Park, isn't it amazing? I often park in this street when I go to my pilates classes at Body Logic.

 

After poking his nose into everything and constantly on the move the entire evening, Rusty finally collapses just as Tash, Todd and Jeremy are about to leave after a very pleasant dinner.

 

Jeremy and his dear friend Lauren whom he is visiting in Canberra. He posted this rather nice photo on instagram.

 

Sue, Barb, Jane and I  at Gooseberries in Yokine , celebrating Barb's and Jane's birthdays.

 

A visit to Attadale Reserve with Pete, Todd, Tash and Rusty....
