Chester Poses

I haven't posted any pictures of Chester for a while, but he's absolutely gorgeous so I think it's time he had a post all to himself.

Kambah Pool

This is Kambah Pool - a natural swimming hole on the Murrumbidgee River. I think it looks typically Australian. There is a nudist beach just a wee bit further along. I didn't go there.

House and Garden

Some sort of eucalyptus flower in the garden

Due to several house moves, raucous parties, guests and an inquisitive cat (we blame him anyway), we no longer have any matching wine glasses. While we are particularly fond of our eclectic collection, I reckon that to ‘John Hague’ these vessels – pouring out accurate and even amounts (without the assistance of a measuring device) – must be very difficult. I imagine it would be his worst nightmare.

Equal measures in the wine glasses

As rehearsals increase in intensity and frequency, it is important to eat well, and to make lots of tasty treats to take along to keep us all motivated.

Mexican almond cookies

Quick Tahi poached chicken salad

We have a plum tree in our back garden, much to the delight of the sulphur-crested cockatoos who have stripped all the fruit from the branches. They like to crack open the seeds at this stage, but the fruit is not yet ripe enough for us to harvest it, so they get first pick, and now there are none left!
