Out and About - Week 4

A week late...

SUNDAY afternoon saw us at the Jazz Club concert which was held in one of Deloraine's historic homes...
 the ballroom at Glendalough

And some music/song from a couple of young, up and coming artists...



MONDAY was our longest walk to date, almost 10 km, at Narawntapu National Park...

We started by walking the hinterland track...




And on to the bird hide on the lake...


various bird life including a black swan


Then the climb up Archers Knob...

on the climb up


We ate our lunch at the summit and enjoyed the view...
 the hinterland


the coast/beach

The trek back down and return walk along the length of pristine, deserted Bakers Beach...
 "...wade in the water..."


Bye Bakers Beach...


And afterwards...

The weather for the rest of the week was a bit up and down (rain, wind, sun) but managed to get in quite a bit of gardening (clearing and cutting back) and son in law Phil came with his ute and carted it all away :)

ready to start a new pile now



This year I did my Christmas shopping from the Mission Without Borders Gift Catalogue...


Today my gift cards came...
ready to send off to family


I've managed to get in some crochet time.  Blankets for charity...

And reading A Thousand Splendid Suns from the library.


That will have to do you...

The kitchen calls...

  2. My goodness, you are becoming a real hiker. How are your headaches?. You haven't mentioned them lately.

    1. The hiking has slowed a bit, mainly because we have exhausted local/day walks, but also the weather has not been the best this last week.

      My 'house guest' is getting restless :) He is going to take himself off exploring for a week soon, and I will enjoy the break :))

      Headaches have been quite frequent this last month, but my tablets are keeping it controlled except for one day when I had to take to my bed.

      Otherwise...all is good! xx

  3. What an attractive room for a little jazz! So pleasant. As for your pictures, why can't I get used to seeing summer now in other parts of the world? :D

    1. Yes...a great venue for the jazz.

      And it certainly doesn't feel like spring today...14'C, but a cold wind blowing. xx
