Lunch at Gianna's

Today we were invited for a lunch with Gianna and her parents. It was great to see them again. The food was fantastic and so was the company. These are just the anti pasti.

Anna, Gianna and Pasquale.

The apricot tree in our garden is in full bloom.

The models

Yesterday we discovered something horrible. Pasta Pot is gone and very nice, decent, non-fatty, quality Italian meals are being replaced by cheap, nasty, greasy, factory-made pizzas. I am grateful for Pasta Pot holding out so long while I was living next door. I will miss their great lasagna :-(

During lunch, my trip to the supermarket was made a whole lot more interesting by a fashion show in Rundle mall.

I think most of these girls need to eat a few more pies...

I ate lunch inside coz it was a bit too chilly outside. How do you like my lunch view eh?

After work we went to the Thai orchid at Henley Beach. We caught the sun set.

Happy birthday Nicole! :-)

I saw an old Haigh's choclate truck when walking to work this morning.

When I left work it was dark.

A fire truck raced past.

Mowing the lawn

I had a day off today so I watched a lot of Star Trek episodes.

I mowed the lawn today. I like to do this by hand. It gives me a 'feel' for the 'material' I work with. And on top of that it's also a bit of a work out :-)

I had to stop a few times due to rain...

Need a spud?

Lunch.

After work we drove to Henley beach.

Awesomeness...

Going to work

This is when I go to work...

This is the caterpillar going to work.

I think I like his trip better...

The visitor

There was a big commotion in our garden this morning. Cocky-boy sounded the alarm. When I looked out the door, it became obvious: Cocky-girl had a nosy visitor! Another, wild, sulphur crested cockatoo had spotted her and checked her out! It was awesome to see this in front of our door. However, I feel sad for her because she will never have a companion...

I had a hair cut :-)

Later we drove to Hahndorf.

Frequent blog readers will understand the sole purpose of our Hahndorf visits ;-)

Driving back towards town through the Adelaide Hills. Big sky.

We also drove to Henley beach.

The wind was strong, it was cold too but always such a pleasure to be there.
