Tash and Pete outside St Mary's Cathedral before the concert...Faure'sRequiem...performed by the WASO Chorus. Pete and I sang in a performance of this work many years ago, it is such a beautiful piece of music. We all enjoyed the concert and it was a beautiful venue on such a sunny autumn day, lots of glass to let the sunlight in. Thank you Tash and Todd for a wonderful Christmas present.

Only the three of us this morning. It was Margot's birthday and Julie's first Saturday back after 6 weeks in South America. Mandy is in New York, Pauline in Shanghai, Marjolijn in Denmark WA and Juliet is in Europe...we are such a well travelled group. 

Walking along the beach is more interesting in winter...this morning there were many sponges washed up and some were so large.

After Pete and I visited Dean we stopped in at the Rockingham foreshore for lunch.

Pete and I saw a wonderful performance by the WA Ballet Company of Don Quixote this evening at His Majesty's. It has been a long time since we have seen such a traditional ballet performed. We loved it.

Look what came in the post today...my ultrasonic oil infuser. Tasha's house always smells so beautiful I thought I'd buy one for myself. 

Today we played pennants at Joondalup Golf Club against the ladies from Melville Glades. I won and the team won. It is a fabulous course, i just love it, every hole is so interesting. In the above photo is the final green of the Lake course.

My husband, my expert caddy...

Ah winter is coming...cold and raining at the beach this morning...

A lovely photo of Lucian, Carlo and Jeremy that Phil texted from Sydney. Jeremy went over for work for a week but managed to catch up with Phil, Carlo, Macario and Lucian. 

What an exciting day today was. Teresa and I came runners up and Sue and Jane were the winners of the Foursomes Championships. Teresa and I won 3/2 against Veronica and Robyn on Tuesday and then we also won this morning 2/1 against Jan and Jenny. After a quick 20 minutes for lunch we went out to play Sue and Jane. The much better players won on the day 4/3 but Teresa and I were thrilled with our achievement of getting into the finals.

Lunch under the trees with Nat, on a beautiful autumn day....

Mothers' Day....this is how Tash decorated the table for dinner tonight...the flowers and vase are mine to keep....it was a scrumptious meal (as always!)

...a cute photo of a very tired Rusty with Tash...I did miss my boys, Chris in Melbourne and Jeremy in Sydney...had a nice FaceTime chat with Chris and look forward to Jeremy being back next week for a belated Mothers' Day celebration.

....morning sunshine ...

Another gorgeous instagram photo, this one was posted by Natasha....

What a gorgeous morning it was on the golf course! Today was the second round of the 4somes championships. Teresa and I were pleased to qualify in 6th position. 

I was pleased to see this shot today that Chris put up on instagram...a charming couple!

Cathy and I enjoyed a late afternoon walk around Lake Monger, it was so tranquil and the colours were just stunning.

Our pretty bougainvillea .....

Carol and Claire....Claire brought a delicious bottle of champagne to bookclub this evening to celebrate her 50th birthday.

Mardi, Claudia and Jane are three of the players from our Division 1 pennant team. Today I travelled down to Mandurah with Jane to caddy for her. Our team lost to a much more talented Royal Perth team but I thoroughly enjoyed caddying and watching the others play.

A beautiful morning at the beach this morning...

...the water was like glass....

..there were only three of us, Pauline took this photo...

..the waves were huge...

and there was an abundance of shells...

..can't believe it is May...

Yay ! It rained last night ! All the plants in the gardens at Curtin were laden with raindrops, these beautiful proteas caught my eye.

Barb and I...4th place getters at today's Charity Day. We raised a heap of money and had a marvellous day.

Our little companion that visits Natalie and me when we are having our lunch by the fountain in the courtyard.

I love this photo of Michelle and Chris. I put it in a frame today and it sits in the lounge room.

Ash and Pete planting native plants on Tash and Todd's verge....we had an enjoyable afternoon helping them with this project. It'll look fabulous this time next year.
