Signal Box

Signal boxes all over Brisbane have interesting art on them. Here is a box near where I live.

Eagle Street Markets

Had a great morning out at the markets on Sunday. Great weather and lots of people around. Bought a metal plate that you submerge in water to clean your silver and gold. It sounded too good to be true, but I've tried it - and it works!!
Here is there view from the market across to the Story Bridge.

Bronte's 18th party

Bronte had some friends over for nibbles, vodka punch and cake - and then they headed out for a night on the town.

Family Italian Dinner

We had a fun outing to Grande Piatto in honour of Bronte's birthday. I had reef and beef - steak with garlic prawns and a half Balmain bug in a cream sauce - yummy!
Plus I still had room for a Tiramisu.
In case you are wondering - the birthday girl is below right. It has taken James 18 months to get his hair this long.
The waiter, coming from behind James, greeted us with "Good Evening Ladies" and then did a double take when he realised James was definitely NOT a lady!!
Mum and me.
Interesting corkboard.

Mum

Mum is visiting from Canberra.

Filming at Cleveland Point

The whole of the Point is fenced off while filming of "The Chonicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is underway. What an amazing ship!
