Today I had a really enjoyable lunch with Natalie and her honours students. This past year I worked closely with young Adilah, who was an absolute delight and I was thrilled for her when she received First Class Honours for her thesis. 

We had a belated celebratory birthday dinner for Tash at Mandy and Graeme's this evening. 

Mandy feeling the bub, he or she had the hiccups. 

Even on a cloudy, dull day the Curtin campus looks beautiful....

Took Rusty for a walk around the lake, the main attraction for him were the light poles.

Pete and I went Christmas tree shopping this afternoon....we chose our tree and return in a couple of weeks and cut it down...such fun.

Yes  we saw a snake at the beach this morning, a dugite we think. It scared the living daylights out of me as I was walking ahead of the girls and saw it first. Luckily it retreated into the dunes so we could pass.

After our walk and swim Pauline showed us her husband's "mustang". She really wanted to show Julie who is interested in cars and will be moving to Albany in a couple of weeks.

What a lovely evening Jo, Tash and I had at the ballet. The performance was excellent as was the orchestra, we all loved it. It was probably one of the most enjoyable male ballet performances I've ever seen.

I love this photo that Tash posted on instagram today....her last day at school!

Back to work today....the students are in the middle of exams, here they are waiting outside the stadium waiting (poor things).
