Apart from local travel, we've taken in some Fringe festival events and concerts including a delightful evening listening to the Melbourne University orchestra performing some exciting new compositions at the Recital centre. We've caught up with friends and family and played in the garden - and yes of course, cooked (updating the Pinging Chook Blog shortly)!
I'm getting a general overhaul and health servicing - I wish! Doctors doctors and more doctors, therapist and more therapists. But this is all good because I am working towards being fit enough to keep up with Lindsay to climb Mt Yasur Volcano, Tanna island, Vanuatu in Decemeber. Should be exciting as it is said that the locals cannot remember a time when the volcano wasn’t coughing up its blazing entrails. Wahoo! Lindsay will be in volcano heaven.
And of course I have to be good to climb up and down gangways and go bobbing around in zodiacs next year on the Barents and Greenland Seas (all part of the Arctic Ocean).
But for now it's time to hustle into the kitchen to try to remember how I used to cook lambs fry, bacon and onions. Bon appetite until next time.
Mr Cool, Craig Newman, cranking it out with a jazz combo performing at The Salon.
Melbourne University orchestra performing at the Recital centre. Exciting new compositions. A delightful evening.
Two strong Australian feminists in conversation - at the iconic Athenaeum Theatre hosted by the Wheeler Centre. An amazing evening shared with the sisterhood! It ain’t over yet!!!
A bucket of strawberry jam to aid the industry - one hopes.

A day in the garden cleaning up and planting herbs, tomatoes and citrus fir summer.
I threw this one in because it just fascinated me. Lichen of two varieties. The silver green one had strange raised structures on one surface. Respirators? Salt excretion? Anyone know?
Mt Yasur, Taman Island in Vanuatu. On the list for December 2018. Wish me luck 🤞
