The wet has been active here this week and the mornings are wet, and the evenings are wet, and in between it is not so wet! That upsets my walking schedule somewhat, coupled with the fact it is not light until 6.30 am so I have developed a new practice of walking (fast - arms swinging fully) around the extensive enclosed verandas upstairs late in the evening. I am careful to warn any approaching sister who comes through the darkness! One must be enterprising in this life. No photos unfortunately, except one I tried to take of the courtyard this morning which looks like the mountains down south in the mist because the humidity was so high I couldn't get my lense clear! For what it is worth - here 'tis!.
1) the Courtyard at St Mary's ( 2) View over Mindil beach with monsoon weather ( 3) Self, Jane & Catherine relaxing
A little light relief came on Sunday afternoon when I went with a couple of staff members to Cornucopia - the restaurant attached to the Museum - for coffee and cake in the afternoon. There are some photos of that. The 'surf' was up on the bay and I tried (fairly unsuccessfully) to photograph the 'wild' waves. It is a very pleasant and popular place to eat and relax.
On Monday the 'real' show got on the road with the start of the Certificate IV course up at the Chamber of Commerce in Casuarina. So far is is VERY structural and I think I will make a dictionary with all the acronymns. Here is a sample - do you know what all (or any) of them mean? DET (which was DEET), DEEWR (which was DEST), AQTF, RTO, AQF, VET, ISC, STA, NAC, NTF, IBSA, KPIs, EEO, CRICOS, .....Do you need to see any more. After a while I will be using them freely like the fully initiated.
Computer problems abound, but we soldier on! I'll publish this because I might not get another chance this week. Hope all goes well with you. Happy 6th Birthday, Nikki.
Love Rita
