A strange sort of day...now we have a lady queen, (I suppose that is fair enough) a lady gov gen and a lady and now a lady prime minister who was born in Wales,grew up in Adelaide and went to Adelaide University...what is Australia coming to, the sort of people they let run the place... and I don't find out my Uni results until tomorrow morning, not today....so the trip into uni was only important for listening to the ABC describe the events of the day.
And we had a great walk below the lock, photos hopefully later.

Mr Mars here reporting on what is going on in Wentworth...
Two 17 year old Wentworth boys charged yesterday with the murder of a 58ish Sydney bloke at Buronga ( service station opposite your office) a couple of days ago...made national ABC  etc news...yes victim's car found burnt out at Nama.
Vegi Steve  beaten up outside Fishers while waiting to pick up his daughter after work...Steve's ok if a bit grumpy just king hit from behind, did not know the attacker, that was last Friday actually (not yesterday)
Town quiet today, this end of Darling Street anyway, have drawn what I think is probably one of my better Kalgoorlie drawings, will hopefully post later.
Big decision...which walk after gallery closes , one adult with her two <5 children in so far today ...a cold  if cloudless Saturday.

Dad seems grumpy today, I suspect it has got something to do with the fact that the quiche  (second quiche) he left out on the kitchen bench overnight was not there this morning, and given the dish was in the back yard we are blaming the possum...but Dad isn't.

Dad has put his portfolio out for display yesterday, so the uni term is sort of over, apart from the work being assessed on Friday, of course he will be going back in tomorrow to check all the bits are as he left them...that may be another reason he is grumpy in anticipation.

He is however enjoying drawing tractors and stuff, and another girl big machine driver from Singleton (not far from Max Watters territory) saw his machines in the gallery on Monday and now wants him to draw hers, and there are all the  others from Kalgoorlie waiting as well but not until he finishes Tess a lovely brown kelpie pup who has asked for her masterpiece , oh and he has also sort of been asked to do a painting of the Lock...so in between making quiches, searching for clues, worrying about uni etc he is keeping himself busy.

And he had better go to the butchers, either that or make some more quiches.

in our back yard at the moment

another fire, another gallery

the first Cat of the season (something not quite right with the front wheel)

just in case anybody does not know ( or remember) what a fire in the gallery can be

artist perusing a brick wall in another gallery, not too far from the other gallery

this one is called Steve's hands
the most important hand is that right hand with first finger raised
