Trees and coffee

I had lunch out and about one day during the week and I noticed this mural on the wall of the café, which I assume has something to do with the parts of a coffee machine.  

In the evening I went out to see a play and then to a bar to debrief with Design Diva and The Luminosity.

Interspersing arts and culture with exercise, I went for a run around The Pinnacle Nature Reserve, with its brand new shiny sign, and tree stumps blown over in the wind and rain. 

Friday night drinks and then a trip out to Gold Creek on Saturday for the wedding of a colleague - requested no photos as they had their own friend and professional photographer doing official images. Although it was raining, it was still a beautiful ceremony, and the bride and groom looked radiant as they exchanged their vows. We went home and toasted them with a Manhattan. 

Outside Aarwun Gallery in Gold Creek looms a litany of tinpot politicians - a rogues gallery of metal sculptures by Cowra artist Paul Woods, who has created larger-than-life facial impressions of Australia's Prime Ministers, beginning with Sire Robert Menzies and continuing right up to the current Anthony Albanese.

It was with a mixture of emotions that I said a fond farewell to these two characters, Andy Ladd and Melissa Gardner, as performed for the last time by Michael Sparks and Andrea Close. Goodbye to the Canberra Rep production of Love Letters - may you be wrapped in ribbon and laid in a drawer.
