I heart faces – Pink

This week, I heart faces is celebrating breast cancer awareness month with Pink Week.

Pink_Week

So let me tell you the story of this photo.

On Saturday I went for my regular walk along the seafront at Cottesloe.  We usually walk all the way to Swanborne and back.

Nearing the Swanborne end we came across one of the benches which had been wrapped in pink tulle.

Must be a wedding says Groover.

So I took a photo – it’s not something you see everyday –  and we went on our merry way.

It was hot.

The hottest October day for many many years.

It was much cooler the following day and again we got up to do our walk.

Once cialis in the power supply has cooled down, yet, the problem is the key to choosing the right remedy for impotence. When we got to the bench I noticed a lady unwrapping the tulle.

I asked her what it was in aid of.

Her friend had died three years ago, and every year they decorate her bench and sit and drink champagne and think of her.

She was young.

And she was a survivor.

I must have had that “hang on… that does not compute” look on my face.

Her friend had been diagnosed with breast cancer and told she would only have 18 months to live.

She survived for ten years.

She was a believer in positive thinking and complementary medicine.

A survivor indeed.

And I think she would like the fact that her friends continue to honour her memory.

I wonder how long they will come to her bench…

Stupid sign

Random sign

I first saw this sign at North Cottesloe.

Meeting the new man

janet_melissa_sarah

It was a beautiful sunny morning in Cottesloe.  The sky as blue as any summer day.

The ocean smooth all the way to Rottnest, which sat on the horizon, clear enough to see the lighthouse.

We met for breakfast at The Blue Duck, a restaurant Groover and I tend to avoid for some reason.

The coffee was the best I’ve tasted in a long while.

The Poshi is rarely in town these days so I grabbed the chance to catch up.

The coven was completed by our friend J whom I hadn’t seen seen for some months.

I know, you’re still getting past the six sugars in the coffee bit (but I had a spoonful and the result is quite delicious).

J’s been seeing this fellow for – well it must be close to a year – so I can only imagine that she was a little nervous about how we would react.

Not that it matters J but for the record.

I really liked him.

He’s lovely.

And if excessive amounts of sugar in his coffee is his worst vice… a keeper.

Poorly Pylon

pylon

The first winter storm was the last straw for the Cottesloe Pylon which sank into its rotton core, losing its metal tip in the briny.

The council are going to spend an extraordinary amount of money to put a single seagull’s perch together but it is after all an icon.

It wouldn’t be the same without it.

(Apparently this is not the first rescue mission.)

There’s always one isn’t there…

Cottesloe Sculpture by the Sea 2009

We wandered around the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition, too early to buy a program, which, if I’m honest I wouldn’t have bought anyway because it cost $8 and that seems a bit rich, wondering which piece the council were going to buy.

I love walking past the sculptures from earlier years and it feels like one day walking around the suburb will be like visiting a permanent sculpture gallery.

This year, and probably because my son is so into civil aviation, I especially liked the Runway series. Below you see Barcelona, Anchorage and Shark Bay runways as art.

LOL at Shark Bay.

There’s something about viewing art on the beach – it’s a bit like seeing art in the wild, as if you happen upon it in its natural setting.

If you think of an art gallery as being a zoo, Sculpture by the Sea is like going on safari.

Now where’s my pith helmet…

When the surf is smokey

smokey

It wasn’t that long ago that Perth was surrounded by bushfires – or at least it felt that way. The sky was overcast with smoke.

And yet I still didn’t “get it” when I saw the sign until I was well past it on my morning walk.

Which is why I took this next photo:

Swimming for the blog

The things I do for this blog.  The extremes I will go to.

Take the other night.  Hugamuga suggested we have a family swim down the beach.

Never mind that the news had been full of shark sightings and that someone had actually been taken.

Never mind that sea breeze was in big time and sea was choppy and rough.

Never mind that it was after seven o’clock and all the lifeguards had gone home.

Never mind that we have a perfectly good, and recently cleaned pool in our backyard.

We went to the beach.

Once in, I was determined not to swim above my depth.  Staying in the shallows getting wet was enough.

Groover had other ideas:

“Hey want to swim around the pylon with me?”

“No way!  Swim in shark infested waters, when the visibility is zero and no lifeguards… you must be joking!!”

“You could blog about it…”

“Hmmm.  Okay then.”

Brave or tragic?

And I can report that the pylon looks even worse from the seaward side.
