Monday 10th November
Yesterday morning
I was performing important duties – trying to get my nails looking OK again,
after many nail-ravaging experiences over the past few weeks. Pete called for me to look at the river so I
got out my trusty camera
And then zoomed
in.
What on earth was
this construction, floating on by on the Derwent?? And doesn’t Hobart look pretty?
As does Cremorne...
SO lovely! And so full of very happy children plus
attendant adults.
When the
Wakefields were with us in Langkawi the boys learned to drive the dinghy. They became our designated drivers, when so
required, and they took this job very seriously.
They loved the whole idea of a dinghy and so
now they have bought one, a big sturdy five-seater tinny.
Gavin and some
friends took the dinghy out of the sea on Sunday afternoon, to tow Hamish,
Angus and their mates along on their surfboards. It all looked very thrilling and wild. I would have stayed on board the board, so to speak, for
about ten seconds; they did much better!
Lynne is home from
hospital, after four weeks of being immobilised. She is very happy to be in her own being
house on the beach but…it is very brave of her! I think I would have still
been cowering in my hospital bed…
Later, after listening to the morning news on the ABC
The floating extravaganza is the new Brooke Street
Pier, which was constructed further up the river and gently towed into
place. It is going to be a flash ferry
terminal and will also contain…three new restaurants. I can’t imagine that Hobart needs any more
restaurants or cafés…it seems to be heaving with eateries! Every time I try to go to a familiar building
– a bank, an agency – it is full fo cheery peoel drinking coffee
