It's the salmon fishing season along the coast of WA ...lots of fishermen along the beach this morning and they were catching some...they warned us about the probability of sharks as well. We were in and out of the water pretty quickly!


 

Pete and I spent the rest of the morning with Tash, Todd and Rusty on the South Perth foreshore.

Since our golf course is holding the WA Open this week,  we have been invited to play at other courses around Perth. Today I took a day off work to play at Royal Fremantle as we are playing pennants there next week. I played with three lovely Freo ladies and really enjoyed their course.

Driving south on the freeway and it's pouring with rain. Although it is nearly nine thirty, some street lights are on. But we optimistically drove on towards Mandurah.
 
 

The sun came out not long after we arrived at Dani and Adrienne's house south of Mandurah where we had a cuppa with an anzac bicuit or two. Then Dani, Jane, Pete and I played a game at the Mandurah course. Their kangaroos love banana skins and sometimes will eat them out of your hand.

 

Crayfish was for dinner at Pam and Russell's home this evening. They catch them when they go over to Rottnest on their boat and generously share them.

Peter, Craig and Ivar on the new balcony of our club house. They were watching as we ladies had our metro pennant training.

 

Jane waiting on the 5th tee....she and Les had a game with us after our pennant training.

 

This is how high our rough is at present, as Idrus our greenkeeper is making the course as tough as he can before the WA Open next week. 

 

After our game this afternoon , there was as official "opening of the balcony" ceremony . Following that, Jane, Les, Barb, Chas, Pete and I went out to a local Thai restaurant for dinner.

Valerie, Irene, Judith, Gaye, Angie and myself...winner of Div 1 NS Pennant competition, Jand and Jenny didn't play today. We had to win 5 of our 6 matches,  so we were very pleased with ourselves. We played Wanneroo at Mt Lawley.

The sky this morning, while I was waiting for Margot to pick me up for the beach.

 

And some noisy, black galahs in our liquid amber. When they have finished chewing on the seed pods, they drop them on our tin roof (above our bedroom!).

Jonnine and Jane, two lovely ladies from the golf club, who won the Tuesday competition.

 

Chris is home for a visit. Tash and Todd came for dinner this evening, and these are some photos I took whilst they were using an iphone app called "face swap"...so much fun.

Aren't they gorgeous? I noticed these delightful homes on my walk from my car to my hairdresser in Subiaco.

Cottesloe Golf Course at sunrise this morning....WAGC played Royal Perth...I won my game and the team won.

 

The view of the rain out over the ocean from the 10th tee where we started our game. We were very lucky and didn't get wet.

This morning at the beach, a little rain and no surf. It was amusing when Margot put her umbrella up.
