Touristy stuff - took the train into Perth, after school work for the morning.
Left: Perth has a lot of historic buildings in excellent condition. All they need to do is piss the cars off, widen the footpaths right out, maybe wang in a tram, and hey presto, this would be the most awesome city in the country.
The train is very modern feeling. I'm really impressed with the PT around here.
Day's summary - walked around and spent money. Credit card says we had lunch, got books at the scifi shop in town, a hat for me because the old one is crushed soiled and generally destroyed, a phone cover for Ollie, gelato, then a shop finally at Basil's Fine Foods Mindarie.
Sat 26th Oct - Maryanne was working. We did mini golf; was actually a lot of fun in the end racing from hole to hole.
Marie won both sets of putt putt, what a demon. Had dinner at the Saigon Palace Mindarie - very good.
Sunday - visited Anne Sophie and David. Our kids met their second cousins George and Yannick for the first time. They had a great time together on lego, hotwheels, chatting and video games. The adults sat around and chatted for the morning.
In the arvo, went to see the Spooky Spectacular concert of the South Side Symphony Orchestra. Julia's housemate Joe was lead piano. Joe was dressed up as a zombie. He is an amazing concert pianist.
Left: Lou, Ollie, George, Yannick and David.
Joe the zombie at the piano. He is one of the most talented pianists I've ever seen.
At Kings Park.
What might be the fossil fuel of the future? That's presuming the lizards and cockroaches evolve enough to take advantage of them, and have not learnt from mankinds wiping themselves out? A pretty funny question given that it will take hundreds of thousands of years to recover from our current fossil fuel binge.
Collections of lovely plants and flowers at Kings Park.
Tuesday dropped car off. Marie looked after the kids. I went to town, hired a bike and rode along the river to the stadium and East Perth, all amazing. Went to dinner with our accountant, who lives in Perth.
Weds picked up the car, went to Anne Sophie's in Fremantle aka Freo for three days.
Thurs had some sushi in Fremantle, bought bread on way home. It's the 31st, so Halloween tonight, ha ha ha ha ha!
