Ye Olde Farte

I think that having my eldest child move out of home to go live in another state makes me officially an old fart.

A year and a half or so ago, I thought she’d be living at home till she was about 30, but she fell in love and has upped and left home as of today.

But I got custody of the dog.  Win!!!

Mary Poppins by Disney and Cameron Mackintosh

Went to Sydney and back today to see “Mary Poppins” at the Capitol Theatre.  Didn’t actually plan to go until yesterday – I was a late substitute for my wife who couldn’t go (with my daughter and niece).  Even though it wasn’t really a show I’d normally choose to go see, I enjoyed it very much, and it was a high quality production.

Damn right, I’m jealous

Of my daughter who is currently on holidays in Europe, and as of today, specifically in Tenerife, Spain.  No doubt hanging out by the pool or beach, and enjoying a siesta.

Beats a grey day in Canberra’s winter!

Still here

Well, it’s May 22, and the world didn’t end, as predicted, yesterday.

I’ve been in Western Australia this last week, and in Albany today.  Back to Perth tomorrow, then flying home.

This is Two People’s Bay, just outside of Albany.   I think I could happily hang out here in summer.

Spring

Went for a walk around the Floriade festival today.  As always, it is full of pretty flowers – although I find it a bit tired and same old, same old year after year … hence I tend to go only every second or third year.
