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.

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.

"Des[s]erting for the desert "on Australia Day

With Rod and Jesie about to leave Darwin for Alice Springs,an invitation to spend
Australia Day evening with them was extended and it was a great evening.
We all brought desserts.

As the theme was "des[s]erting for the desert" it was appropriate that friends gave them a "Deserters Kit"





Rod and Jessie are ready to become grey nomads down the track sometime in the future?

Seen around the library garden

We have a visitor at the Library athe moment, Dr. Charlie Corke from Barwon Health in Victoria.

When I snapped a group photograph of the project team, this Frilled-necked Lizard was an observer.

Catching up with Jeanette

I dropped into to see Jeanette today. She has just moved into her own unit and she needed the help of her friend Roger and myself to move some plants from the balcony downstairs to the garden.. They were heavy..



A long session drinking champagne and chatting in the pool later was a nice reward!
