I'm backtracking now, as I had some busy days there and got out of habit of sitting at a computer. Well, sitting at a computer actively. Just didn't feel like typing stuff, really.
Anyway - Friday day time, Mum and I became 90 years old, and took the train into town, disembarking at the new Esplanade station (very similar to any other train station built in the last few years)and took the ferry over to South Perth.
Yeah - like that juxtaposition? Fake sawns - real swans. I'm VERY arty.
Mum grew up in South Perht - close enough to the zoo that you could hear the lions roaring at night. How cool is that? So we had a good wander around, marvelled at how some old buildings keep a bit of class while some don't:
Yeah baby. Some things never change.
Anyway, lovely wander in the sunshine, ferry back across the river, train back to Duincraig, then I went on to Mark and Angie's for dinner - a very pleasant evening at a three-kid household. Mark is looking into the microbrewing courses offered at ECU, which I think is outstanding, and Angie is expanding her nursing by specialising in diabetes. With three kids under 6. Some people don't know how to switch off, I think.
After that, Mum and I stayed up and watched Chicago on dvd, then solved the problems of the world until about 3 am. Woot! Late night ragers!
