Coupla weeks or so..
25.2.14 -
Things have been moving apace for the past month with trips abroad and interstate providing an element of dislocation to proceedings. The principal offender was our foray to NZ and I've yet to present one pic let alone any personal reflections on this trip. I'll get to it eventually.
Before we took off for Canberra last week, Maria and I tootled over to the Pearl Oyster in Preston to meet up with former Art School mates, Bret de Thier and Dr Wazz Sellers, who is already well known to you, of course. (pic 1) We missed out on seeing Bret in situ when we were in Christchurch, so it was great we could catch up with him, albeit briefly, on his visit to Melbourne.
I've had my eye on the resonator guitar ornamenting Maria's
fireplace for some time now, so I'm a very happy chappy to have it accompany us back to Melbourne. (pic 2) Now to learn how to play it.. We spent quite some time with Maria's family while we were in Canberra but we also managed to catch up with the Greaggs one night for a meal (pic 3) which was a lot of fun too.
Last Sunday we decided to take Chris to Healesville Sanctuary (pic 4) and finished the day meeting the Sellers' at 1061 Woodfired Pizza where Maria drew a blind contour sketch of me on the table paper for fun. (pic 5)
