Our tasting plate this evening at Il Pasto restaurant ....Pam, Helen, Mandy and I had a fabulous meal and conversation.

Jeremy's birthday dinner tonight....we always play games after dinner on his birthday, this year it was Balderdash. It's a fun game, we had lots of laughs and Tash was very excited that she had won.

Some photos that I took at Brighton Beach at sunset this evening.

Well, I had an interesting day today. I helped our Chinese student, Si, with her mice down at the Animal house. The last time I did animal work was thirty-five years ago.

The work today involved cutting their tail a little, then measuring their glucose level from the blood from the tail, one mouse every minute for two hours!

They are quite cute little things.

There are not many people around  this early in the morning, only the garbage truck. 

The last day of autumn and  a walk down town to the library...this is the new Como, The Treasury Hotel, which is just stunning inside. 

Only three of us this morning at the beach, Mandy, Pauline and myself. Although it was sunny, there was quite a strong chilly sea breeze blowing so very few people were about. Between Floreat and City we enjoyed watching this lone kite surfer, surfing in towards the beach and then out to sea. When he finally came all the way in to the sand, I realised it was Phil Ellis from our golf club... I was so impressed, he looked awesome!
