Mandy, Margot and Julie bracing themselves as they enter the very cold water, hoping that it won't pour with rain before we finish our swim.


We again had the beach to ourselves (not surprisingly)...only our friend Danny the lifesaver was on duty, for which we are very thankful.


Crazy ladies!

It was a stunning day in Perth today, a little chilly but gorgeous blue sky. I went to the book sale again and was thrilled to see these ducklings keeping warm on the pavement....so cute.

Our flowering almond tree ....

I popped a couple of small branches from our almond tree in a vase to brighten up the lounge room for book club tonight. We discussed Tasha's choice "Eyrie" by Tim Winton. Tash led an enthusiastic discussion, most of us enjoyed the book, I loved it.

It's that time of year again, the Save the Children Book Sale is happening at the University of WA. I just love it.


The view this morning from Odyssea Beach Cafe. We were lucky to have our walk and swim before the rain settled in.


Maree, Juliet and Mandy ....We don't usually stop for a coffee but this week we met up with Maree, her first trip back since breaking her leg. 


After a miserable morning the sun came out in the afternoon. Pete and I went to an Art Show in Sorrento and then continued up the coast road , stopping at a few beaches. The photo above was taken at Pinnaroo Point...


These next photos were taken north of Burns Beach....
