Cultural Outings with Cake

Having been to see a fascinating exhibition at the National Museum of Australia, The Luminosity and I needed sustenance. Fortunately there was sustenance in the form of cake; the problem now was making a decision.

When I went home to relax in the garden and read my book (as if my mind wasn't already full), this fellow came to join me.

I went for the first jog I have managed in ages. It was good to be out and about among the trees.

Another date with The Luminosity was to see Antony and Cleopatra at the Playhouse in the Canberra Theatre Centre.

From museum, to theatre to the pub; The Phoenix to be precise, where I spied this piece of graffito and wondered if that was a 'w' or an 'm' and whether it mattered.

I saw Shoeb Ahmad (seen here with Emma McManus) and Passive Smoke (who were part of the COUP: Canberra performance of Vinegar Tom, as was Emma).

Him Outdoors made me his version of a gourmet breakfast burger with smoked bacon from Pialligo Estate and black pudding on the side (it didn't fit inside, apparently) from Market Meats at Belconnen.

And in the afternoon I went to Sue's Salon at the home of Mr & Mrs Lovely Bonkers, where there were friends and conversation and bubbles and laughter - this could well become a 'regular thing'.
