On Saturday night Chris and I went to “Let’s Go”, David Campbell’s show at The Palms in the Crown Complex. He is an all-round performer and entertainer. We saw his show last year, and this was also great. And the bonus – The Palms restricts the use of flash photography, but with my camera and [...]
I’ve had some busy days and nights recently so this is another catchup blog 24th Jan – storage day Today we moved Grant’s “stuff” from his apartment around to a storage facility he has leased. it took a while to sort out what came from the flat into storage crates and work out in what [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
The weather in Melbourne over the past few days has been terrible, especially as it is summer. We have had rain, hail, gale force winds, snow in the alps (REALLY!). Tonight, the rain had disappeared, although the clouds were dark and threatening, it was cold still, and the wind was starting to ease. This was [...]
The Eastlink Tollway, connecting the Eastern Freeway, and Eastern suburbs, with Dandenong and Frankston has many “art” works along it to add some variety to the drive. On my way to Frankston tonight I stopped and took this photo. Over the next few months I will try to take photos of the entire set of [...]
