out and about

Pete and I went to the Concert Hall on Thursday to see a documentary about Paul Kelly and to listen to him sing some of the songs on his new album.  Both levels of the Hall were full and the film was very personal and interesting.  The last time I saw him he was singing with the Dots in a pub and wearing skin tight jeans and a very small animal print shirt.  His black curls were long.  He is now nearly bald and wears quite conservative clothes but the singing and the songwriting is still there.

We went to the Cultural Centre on the ferry - the city looked lovely at night and the weather was mild enough for us to sit outside on the deck.

The jacarandas are all looking wonderful at the moment.  I expect we'll get a storm soon which will blow them all off (that's usually the way it is).  I took this picture on the way to work - it reminded me of our last house which had a picket fence,  jacarandas and a flag pole.

This weekend was a quiet one - I have been far too social lately and just wanted to stay home.  Marg and I went to the craft fair and a did buy some fabrics so have been having a play with baby quilts - now that I have a godson and a daughter about to produce babes.

The garden is SO DRY - haven't had any proper rain since July.  I hope we don't revert to the dreadful DROUGHT!!!  However, the pots are getting watered and the smelly things are making it all smell delicious.
