Sherlock

Sherlock is Kelly’s dog. But Sherlock spends a lot of time sitting on my lap chewing on his toys. I had not taken a photo today, and decided that it was easier to just take one with the G12 held at arms length.

Birthday cake !

Kelly made a berry cheese cake to take to a birthday celebration lunch for a family friend. This is her attempt, and a really good effort – it was delicious, to make this after first tasting it at Christmas time when it was made by Kendall, my niece.

Tea

While it is warm during the day, I’ve been cooking a barbeque for tea most nights. Tonight I had some fish.  

Zoo Twilights – we are going for a trip down memory lane

Over the past decade, Chris and I have been FOTZ (Friends of the Zoo) members and attended a lot of Zoo Twilight concerts during summer. The concerts were free to zoo patrons when we first started going, so we would go every weekend or two, then a couple of years ago the Zoo managed changed [...]

Cricket season is well underway

I went out for a couple of hours this afternoon, and on every available oval cricket matches were being played. I stopped for a short time to see how the G12 coped with sport photography, but the shutter lag was killing me. This photo was the only one with a ball showing in it, and [...]

Arts Centre Spire has recovered

On New Years Eve, fireworks managed to catch alight and set portions of the spire on fire. Tonight, after attending the Melbourne Theatre Company performance of “The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll”, I took this photo when leaving. The play was our first in our subscription package that Chris and I have. It was very [...]
