City to Surf

Yesterday I braved a huge downpour to walk the City to Surf with the ECU School of Law and Justice. The weather ended up not too bad, so it was a pleasant morning's outing. We walked from Perry Lakes to City Beach and picnicked at the City Beach oval.

Visit from VJ

We had our first visitor last week. Veronica came over for 5 days or so and shouted Simon a ticket to the South Africa v Australia rugby test (we lost). She brought superb weather with her, and we enjoyed a spectacular sunset over Floreat beach, a breakfast picnic and walk at Lake Monger, a walk on the Kings Park tree top bridge, drinks and dinner at Little Creatures, dinner in Subiaco... VJ also went on a river wine cruise up the Swan and visited Hillary's Boat Harbour and the Aquarium of WA.

Harrison was absolutely besotted with her, and loved all the attention from his aunty. I think he was a bit disappointed when he woke up on Thursday morning with just his boring old parents to play with.
