Sometimes you just get lucky

So I was on my morning walk (to the shops, not really for exercise) looking for the extraordinary in the ordinary as is my want, and I saw a row of marigolds up against a fence.

But look what I caught on film!

One day though it would be nice not to have to look for the extraordinary in the ordinary but to have the extraordinary happen!

Or maybe not.

Geraldton 2008

I love this photo – my two gorgeous ones laughing and enjoying being kids on a swingy roundabout.

But they won’t be able to do that again.

The fun police – the wrap your children in cotton wool brigade – have decided that it’s too dangerous.

I’m in Geraldton and I discover to my SHOCK that the Merry Go Round by the Sea otherwise known as the 50 cent swing has been clamped to the ground!

Where is the fun in that I ask you???

Albany Windfarm

On a recent trip to Albany I went down to the windfarm – about ten minutes out of town or so – to check it out.

The turbines are impressively big.

The whooshing noise they make impressively loud.

And the cliffs reminded me of the Cliffs of Moher. Vaguely.

Poolside in Broome

Poolside

How beautiful is that pool.

I started work early yesterday so I could snaffle an hour by the pool in the afternoon.

Lucky I did because the thunderclouds rolled in.

We were having a little barbie near the pool and the lightning scared the kids a little.

It was spectacular.

Sadly no rain which means Broome is still on track to have the driest wet on record.

A religious experience

Where do you think this church is?

It could be in Europe – a sunny part obviously – it could be in South America or Mexico.

It’s in Mullewa, about an hour east of Geraldton in the midwest.

Coming across this church as the sun set on Wednesday was surreal.

I had driven up with the new manager of the Geraldton station, he’s been in the UK for the last couple of decades so we took the inland route to familiarise him with the midwest.

It had been a long drive, meeting some of the locals and we were way behind our frankly unrealistic schedule.

We’d had to stop just before Mullewa to wait for some sheep to cross the road.

We were tired, it was dusty and dry and I’m sure he was overwhelmed with the scale of the new job ahead of him.

As we drive into town we see the belfry.

We had to stop.

It was as if we had stepped through a portal to Mexico.

I was waiting for a tumbleweed to roll past.

Both of us are keen photographers.

We whipped out our point and clicks and between us must have taken a hundred photos.

Oh for a DSLR!

It honestly felt as if we had traveled across the world.

My clay pipe

Isn’t it beautiful?

The letters you can see are V-I-S so we think it’s a Ben Nevis pipe made somewhere in Glasgow.

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK and a lot of clay pipes came from Scotland.

Clay pipes were the disposable cigarette of the 1800s.

The thin hole in the stem is to cool the smoke from the bowl.

Everyone had found a pipe and I was feeling left out frankly at dig central in York.

Yes, I’m on my dig and LOVING it.

Yes, it’s hot, dusty, dirty work but it’s such fun.

You scrape the soil with your tiny trowel and then you hit something interesting.

So you find a brush – a paintbrush maybe – and sweep of the soil until you reveal your artifact.

Sometimes – yawn – it’s a bit of glass or a bone – sometimes it’s a clay pipe, or a whole bottle.

But then I found foundation stones!

We found the corner of the barracks where the convicts would have been housed between 1851 and 1875.

It was very very cool.

I know what you are thinking.

That I’m sounding more like a geek than ever.

Ah well… live with it.

It’s now day four of my first ever Archeological dig and I’m in love with digging and all things buried.

So yes… now I’m a dirt geek.

I’m very excited.

You see this guy…

seanwinter

His name is Sean.  He’s a PhD student in Archeology at UWA.

He’s studying convicts in WA.

And he’s going on a field trip next year.

And (this is the exciting bit) I’m going with him to help!

Before I met Sean all I knew about convicts in WA was that we started as a free settlement in 1829 (my ancestor arrived in 1830) and we decided to accept convicts in 1850 for about 20 years.

Actually, that’s a pretty good summary of what IS known about convicts in WA.

Turns out there hasn’t been a lot of study done on them.

For a start it’s not been something WA has been very proud of, even though some of our most beautiful buildings were built with convict labour – Government House, The Cloisters…

And also the rest of Australia weren’t that keen on us taking convicts – they’d more or less stopped around 1840.

Of the 9700 men transported (no women) we only have the stories of about 12.

Sean’s project is to try and find out more about their lives.

He’s keen to explore what relationships they had with local women, both free settlers and Indigenous.

What it means for me is (hopefully) I can record some stories for work and also get involved in the process of archeology.

Yes, the dirty, dusty, back-breaking world of digging up stuff.

I can’t wait.

Hand me that sieve Sean!

No doubt I will bore you senseless over the coming months but I hope together we will both learn some interesting new stuff about our history.

Oh and by the way… the Baldrick reference will no doubt be picked up by you if you’re a fan of Blackadder and Time Team.

Random sign

I first saw this sign at North Cottesloe.

I thought then it was a stupid sign.

What are they trying to warn against?

Pata Negra Restaurant Review

iberianpig
See… now the logo makes sense!

I don’t usually do restaurant reviews on this blog but Friday night we went to Pata Negra, the new Tapas bar open on Stirling Highway… opposite my fave Vietnamese restaurant TQR.

It was fantastic.

The food was ALL good.

Of course I am rubbish when it comes to Tapas.

There are simply too many choices… hey I have trouble enough trying to decide between still and sparkling water.

But I have a secret Spanishy-bits weapon.

He is GREAT at ordering Tapas. Who knew?

We had some amazing Iberico ham – melt in the mouth – and you have to have it, after all the restaurant is named after it.

We had olives, mushrooms, asparagus with walnuts, mountain bread and Tsziki dip, eggplant fritters and to finish pork belly.

If I go back I’ll be ordering the eggplant fritters and probably the asparagus and definitely the pork belly.

OMG it was sublime.
