Flashback to the Polly Pipe opening

1 Comment

Growing up with an civil engineer for a dad meant that we went to a lot of openings of big infrastructure projects.

Stirling Bridge
This is me and my brother at the opening of the Stirling Bridge in Fremantle. There is a better photo somewhere but I can’t find it.

I’ve crawled through the middle of the Stirling Bridge (Dad’s first project as project manager), I was been there when they cut the ribbon on the Mount Henry Bridge…

So perhaps it’s only natural that I’ve taken my kids to similar events.

I was looking through some photo album – you know, a real one – and found this snap of my two at the opening of the Northbridge Tunnel – part of the Graham Farmer Freeway. Before the cars were allowed through, the great unwashed were able to walk the length of the tunnel – and we got certificates to prove we were there.

Opening of the Graham Farmer Freeway Tunnel

My kids certainly look more happy to be there than I did at Dad’s bridge!

For those of you not from Perth – we Australians have a habit of nicknaming infrastructure… well anything really… and it wasn’t long before Graham “Polly” Farmer, lent his nickname to the tunnel – hence the Polly Pipe.

  1. Get up and join group for Jacob’s Ladder experience – do JL 4 times and run up and down Mount St Hill twice.  Completed.

  3. Eat breakfast, fruit salad.  Done.
  4. Blog.  Nearly complete.
  5. Get hair dyed, temporary rinse.  9.45
  6. Exercise my democratic right.  Vote!  I just LOVE elections.
  7. Take sewing machine to repair shop.
  8. Iron black trousers for tonight.
  9. See if I can fit in a massage or tomorrow will be hell… depends on Mum.

  10. Go to work.

How much fun is election night eh?  And tonight’s looks to be a doozy.  

Centrebet last night had brought down the price of the Libs to $3.10 and the latest poll looks like the Libs by a landslide.  I tend to believe the punters though – they are after all putting their money where their mouth’s at and with Labor at a dollar something… well? 

At any rate with all the changed boundaries and new seats and new independents it will be a fun night… and I get to work in the Tally Room!  W00t!  

In other news, standing on top of Jacob’s Ladder today – pictured – I looked down at those white trees I was telling you about earlier – and you can really see where the birds have been – if you know what I mean.  I was heartened by another in our group saying that she went past them all the time too and thought they had died because of all the building dust.  

Jacob’s Ladder meanwhile, I’ve learned refers to to a ladder to heaven, described in the Book of Genesis, which the biblical patriarch Jacob envisions during his flight from his brother Esau.  

I think it’s more of a ladder to HELL!

OMG my legs are sore.

Anyhoo gotta go – hair appointment!

Hope you get your to do list done. 🙂

Sunset train journey

Sunset at Claisebrook Station

I was running late for the train but had to stop and catch this sunset. Of course the camera I was carrying didn’t have a memory card in it – I was running late – it was never going to be easy.

Eighties flashback to Atlantis Marine Park

A recent post on The Worst From Perth made me laugh… and remember one of the first dates I went on with Groover.

We went up to Atlantis Marine Park to see the Dolphin show… It must have closed pretty soon after and the dolphins went to Underwater World – now AQWA. It was a pretty sad story actually because the dolphins had been caught in the wild. They had some babies. By the time the dolphin show thing stopped, they couldn’t reacclimatise so they went to Underwater World. And then, as we know just a few years ago the last three dolphins died mysteriously.

Anyway back to Atlantis Marine Park… there were all these limestone statues in a big circle and we had fun getting up close and personal with them…

Un-fayre

Swimmer statue in PerthWe’ve had 63 mm of rain in Perth today. The wettest start of April which more than doubles the previous record set in 1964. 90.6mm. W00t. Not good news for those promoting the second desalination plant in Binninup – always easier to get those things through when the dam levels are low, and not good news for those planning today’s Medieval Fayre.

Today I woke up at about 10am… I heard the sports guys on the radio going on about the rain and how it would probably clear by the afternoon in time for the clash between the Dockers and the Eagles and I rolled over and congratulated myself for taking the washing off the line.

I got up briefly. Made myself a coffee and crumpet and slothed back to bed and read a bit more of my (unexpectedly racy) novel.

A girlfried called and we chatted for awhile…

And as we were chatting, there was a knocking at my door…

Another friend had dropped by. I LOVE the drop in, although it was slightly inconvenient as I was as I say, on the phone and in my pjs. I made plans with my friend on the phone to catch up tomorrow, pulled on some jeans and went to see my visitor.

I had a lovely morning. We ended up going to Spotlight where I’m considering buying a sewing machine. Yes yes I know I’m not the world’s most obvious dressmaker and lets face it – do I really have the time – but oh those machines… I just love them. The fancy stitches which I’d never use, the LED lights, the bobbin racks and pull out accessories drawer.

I said to my friend… “Hmmm the NS10 only has a single needle. Do you really need the twin needle option?”

Sigh.

I got home eventually and as I logged online remembered that it was the day of the Medieval Fayre. Hey nonny nonny and all that stuff. Having watched Gladiator (isn’t that a surprisingly good movie?) the night before I was even ready to watch a couple of geeks in armour throwing a sword around. I was.

Pulling the kids in the car we headed off to the city. “Isn’t this exciting!” I enthused as we passed the statue in the river, today sporting a towel and beach spade… “Something new to do together!”

Yes, full of the joys of spring we drove until reaching Supreme Court gardens where we saw the remnants of the fayre packed up. Stacks of white plastic chairs (oh so medieval!). The odd scattered tent. Puddles.

It was only 3.15 and the Fayre was supposed to finish at 5pm. It was so unfayre!

We went to see The Spiderwick Chronicles instead. Which was fayrely entertaining movie.

Rainy day in paradise

raindrops in the pool

I’m not one to complain – wait… yes I am – anyway today it’s the first real day post daylight savings and I must say… I miss it!

It’s SO dark SO early. I feel like I’ve stepped from summer to winter in one fell swoop.

Of course it wasn’t helped by the fact that it was a rainy rainy day thanks to Cyclone Pancho. (31.6 mm since 9am this morning)

Also, while buying through cash on delivery sometimes you may also wish to simply relax. see over here now cialis soft order These conditions include heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 sildenafil tablet viagra diabetes.

Maximum temp in my suburb of 16C (what’s that about? – this is Perth people!).

I got home from work, cold, sniffly and waited no more than two seconds before slipping off my sandals for my trusty ugg boots. I love you my ugg boots… smooches.

We had pasta for dinner and now I feel back in the land of the living – should be mostly fine tomorrow and yes, alright… we need the rain.

One thing that really cheered me up was the fact that South Park is now online – although sadly, not yet in Australia.

Current Affairs

What is the point of mounted police?

Mounted Police ex Geraldton GuardianComing home today I round the corner and was taken aback to see two police officers astride horses, clopping down the street. We all stopped at the cross roads and they politely waved me on, I turned right, and they proceeded to cross the road disappearing from my rear view mirror.

It’s an inner city suburb. I suppose there is some street crime. I’m not aware that it’s a particular hotspot at 5pm in full sunlight but I’m not regularly checking into it.

To be honest, I wonder at the value of the mounted police. The horses are lovely but really how effective are they? The police say that it has reduced crime in some areas by up to 50%. Really? Show me the figures.
It is often noted that people having this disability, who have started exercising, have actually found the same to be quite effective for many men, causing desirable erection when tadalafil sale they use.

This is one of vardenafil tablets india the most important reasons why men seek supplements. A good flow of cialis 5 mg blood is quite necessary to have a satisfactory sex life.
I get how they could be useful in crowd control situations, and possibly searching in the bush for missing persons, but inner city or suburban crime?

Prove me wrong if you know different… I’d like to be convinced. 🙂

Review: Horrendo’s Curse

1 Comment

horrendo's curseThis little book by Anna Fienberg is charming. Aimed at 6-10 year olds I guess it has illustrations by the same guy that drew for the Tashi books – Kim Gamble.

The book is set in a village which is raided each year by pirates. They take boys aged 12 who endure two years of misery as slaves to the pirates. To help them survive the village school teaches them how to cuss and curse, how to fight, how to raise perilous pets.

The hero of our story – Horrendo – though is cursed with a Charming spell which leaves him unable to fight or swear or cuss.

If someone stole his lunch, Horrendo would say. “Oh dear, how hungry yuo must be! Why don’t you take my chocolate cake as well?” Or if a person happened to race by and kick him in the shins, he would call after them, “So sorry, aren’t I always in the way? Hope you didn’t hurt your foot on my shin!”
Here are some viagra online prescription details about this product: This capsule is an effective liver detoxification supplement that is made up of a number of similar hair strengthening phyto chemicals collected from rare natural sources. Side Effects : Facial redness or flushing Headache Blocked nose Dryness in eyes Mild Nausea These common side effects are connected to dehydration and viagra sildenafil buy usually diminish by increasing water intake. Kamagra jelly for ED actually increases the blood flow to the genital area, which results in better and lasting purchase levitra online http://www.slovak-republic.org/symbols/ erections. In most cases, the body adjusts to the viagra buy medications as a result of which the side effects completely disappear after some time.
I love the concept and I’m sure kids would too – in fact I’m hoping one of mine will read it too to give us their expert opinion.

*Anna Fienberg and Kim Gamble are featured in the PIAF Writer’s Festival on Saturday afternoon.
