Barb and I had an enjoyable afternoon wandering around Mt Hawthorn for their Street and Laneway Festival.  I love watching the street artists paint, such talent.

 

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.

 

 

 

....and today I played at Lake Karrinyup, with Nerida and Jessie .

 

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.
