Sunday at Rod and Jessies

Jessie and Rod invited colleague Sharon and myself out to their property at Howard Springs for a Sunday evening meal. As usual the garden looked a treat and it was nice also to catch up with dear old Annie the Golden Retriever. She is looking good for her 15 + years.

Darwin Sailing Club

I had a meeting tonight at the Darwin Sailing Club, and Darwin was enjoying the first rain for a while.

Sunday chores

I spent the morning ironing etc, then a trip out to my storage unit. I noticed this fairly spectacular cloud formation. In a few weeks time they may be more spectacular during the buildup but not a lot of rain..

Then it was the usual trip to Mindil Beach.I found an interesting article about the history of the area the other day, see this schoolboy article link from 1999.

Mark Hoffman aka Mark Didge or eMDee always pulls a large crowd. You can learn more about his work on his website and even hear/get a free download of a remix track

Weekend workshop

Some of our team worked with postgraduate students and staff in a workshop on Saturday.

Friday at the Darwin Sailing Club

A good end to the working week, well almost at the Darwin Sailing Club
with Peter and Jayshree.






I very much enjoyed a plate of Salmon and Prawn Caesar Salad.
