Some lovely photos of Ethan and Will (taken by Tash).

...dear little chaps....

 

Chris took this photo of Michelle, Paul and Jeremy ...I think it is wonderful that they are all in the same city...I'm so proud of the four of them.

Before the performance of Ludvico Einaudi in the Perth Concert Hall this afternoon....

You weren't allowed to take photos during the performance but I found this shot on the net...Ludvico with his cellist, violinist and percussionist....it was a brilliant concert...there was an immediate standing ovation at the end of the performance. 

 

Jeremy and Paul have rented an apartment on this block in Collingwood...

...pretty trendy eh? can't wait to visit them.

 

Margot, Mandy and Marjolijn...Mandy was up in Perth for a couple of days...we played golf yesterday and this morning we went for a walk and swim with Marjolijn and Margot. There were no waves but the water was crystal clear.

Pete and I saw the musical "& Juliet" at the Crown this evening...we loved it, fabulous music and brilliant dancing ...

 

Jeremy's office in Melbourne...Allens offices in Perth are open plan...Jeremy was thrilled to have his own rather large office in Melbourne, especially one with a fabulous view.

 

Tonight Pete and I went next-door to Phillip and Jen's home to celebrate Robbie Burns' birthday...what a night it was...in the photo Phillip is slicing the haggis ....it actually tastes ok, a bit like chicken stuffing...

After a delicious meal but before dessert Phillip kept us entertained...he has a lovely voice and is a very good guitarist...we all ( twenty of us) sang along to most of the songs ( often using our phones for the lyrics). It was such a fun night...

 

Pete is his birthday board shorts...another hot day and another swim at Brighton Beach.

I went shopping for a new dress but couldn't find anything I liked so I bought two pairs of shoes. The name on the shoes told me to buy them ( and they are good quality shoes that were on sale!).

We had a wonderful night out with Jeremy and Paul at "Pizzaca"...Pete's birthday present from Jeremy.

They leave for Melbourne tomorrow where Paul will start his new job with Bloomberg and Jeremy at the Allens' office in Melbourne...sorry to see them leave but so excited for them.
