follow the sun

The weather has been fantastic the last couple of days. On Friday I went for a walk around Lake BG with a friend plus pooch. The trees around the lake have grown a lot in the last few years so it looks quite different, and there is a a coffee kiosk lakeside, just down from the flag avenue. We had an affagato there post walk - delicious.

Then I came home to meet Mr Telstra. The phone here is connected - but not by us - which is causing strange and annoying problems. So no landline as yet.

Today we did the markets, including Fyshwick, which was much better than I remembered. Then the usual domestic duties blah blah (bring back the maids!).





The architecture around here is so angular. I'm reminded of Howard Arkley or Jeffrey Smart paintings. There is a particular corner where birds seem to like perching to have a squawk.
