This was the colour of the sky at dusk, quite eerie..

Busy birthday

I enjoyed some early morning phone calls and text messages from around the country


Morning tea with my colleagues.. too much cake...

and then a quick look and listen at the USA Airforce Band playing in the main foyer of Royal Darwin Hospital
Then after work drinks with ALIA colleagues at the Darwin Airport Resort, then a meal with friends at Marrara.

Monsoon rains

Fun getting to work these morning.
The monsoon rain seems to hit each morning just before 8am as I head to work in the morning.
The garden looks good, but I have to dump water from the pool each day as it gets too full.

Old friends old photograph

Sue Milne sent me this image of herself with Philip Keane and myself, taken when we worked together at Adelaide TAFE in 1985

Monday was duck feeding

On the way back to the airport we dropped into a mutual colleague's house
at Oakden and had fun feeding the ducks on the estate.

Chloe's 3rd Birthday Party

Early on Sunday morning a Bouncy Castle arrived and was set up in the backyard of Barbara's house.




Another former colleague,Sue Milne was there with her boys.

Day on the Green Simply Red Concert

Busy weekend! I flew down to Adelaide at 1:40am and Barbara and her children picked me up at 7am and we went to the Central Market. We met within minutes our old CDU colleague Peta Kruse and had our breakfast with her. Later in the day, an early birthday treat was a trip to the Day on the Green "Simply Red Concert" at the Peter Lehmann Winery at Tanunda in the Barossa Valley.
Whilst we took our own food it was nice to be offered food by other familes who we chatted with.
Dragon and also Kate Cebrano were very good support acts.
