Happy Hour




On Sunday afternoon some friends and I had a drink and some snacks at a bar. It is called The Raffles Hotel and is next to the Swan River. The sun was just about to go down as we arrived and it made the water look beautiful. My friend Marisa and I drank champagne and ate squid and chips.

Long weekend



This weekend is a long weekend because Monday is a public holiday (national holiday). The weather isn't very nice so I stayed inside and read a book today. I have a beautiful view from my window of an orange tree full of ripe oranges.

Later this evening I am going to go to the pub and have a drink with my friends.

Autumn Colours


A few days ago I was driving home and I saw this beautiful tree. It is autumn in Australia so lots of trees have orange and red leaves. The tree was in the front garden of someone's house so I asked them, "May I take a photo of your tree?" The contrast between the blue sky and the red leaves is amazing!

The Office


Today at work we had a special morning tea for my co-worker's birthday. We had chocolate cake and coffee in the staff room. This is a picture of me in my office pretending I'm thinking.

Marina


Today after work I went for a jog around the marina. There is a restaurant there overlooking the water. Sometimes on the weekends people get married there. Today the sky was a beautiful, blue colour and the clouds were really fluffy. It was a warm afternoon and there were some birds nearby.

Da Vinci Exhibition


In the afternoon on Sunday we went to see an exhibition of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions. He invented lots of useful things that we still use today. One of these inventions was the floaty. It's a blow up ring that children out around them at the beach so that they can float.

The exhibition was on the foreshore of the river in a special tent. After we went to the exhibition we went for a walk by the Swan river.

We walked up into the city and went to a restaurant for a snack. We had pizza and french fries.

Sunday Breakfast



This morning my friends and I had breakfast at a cafe.

The cafe we went to is called the sidewalk cafe. Some of the tables are out on the sidewalk and we sat out there under an umbrella. It was a warm, sunny morning and the cafe was pretty busy. I had bacon and eggs and a coffee with milk. It was really yummy.

Some of our friends are in a cycling club and they went for a bike ride before breakfast. These are my friends Clint, Greg and Shane in their cycling gear (clothes). The other picture is of my best friend Marisa and I enjoying an orange juice and coffee.
