f365: Day 066

I was at the quarterly SAS forum tonight after work. While always interesting, it was a great chance to catch up with workmates, past and present.

I took this shot on the way out, of the Treasury & Casino building. Night time exposures are always tricky and I hand held this, but managed to minimise blur.

I was starving after work so Jenn and I took Bruce out for a walk and got Grill'd for dinner. Although a simple meal of burgers and chips, their burgers are to die for.

While not technically a good foodie shot, this was my dinner tonight - a Queenslander burger crammed with beef, tomato, lettuce, cheese, an egg and crispy bacon with a delicious serving of seasoned chips. Yum!

f365: Day 064

There were plenty of clouds and colour in the sky after work. In between rain showers I pointed my camera skywards and captured this one.

I also managed to get soaked on the way to work, but luckily avoided the rain after work!

f365: Day 063

We had a nice day today with abundant sunshine. Brisbane is pretty saturated after weeks of rain so hopefully at least some of the top layers will dry out.

Went for a walk near work at lunchtime - this view is of the Enoggera Creek, a tributary of the Brisbane Rover. Virgin HQ is on the upper right of the image. Note how brown the water is at the moment!

f365: Day 062

The big wet continues. When it rains here in summer, it just doesn't stop and I think we are all over it now. It is kind of like an English winter with the dreariness, but with warmth (having experienced 8 English winters!).

There was a slight break in the weather where it didn't rain for a couple of hours. Tim and I were down at Southbank and checked out Streets Beach. I am still playing around with my Android phone and took this with the HDR feature checked.

f365: Day 061

Bruce needed his 12 week vaccination shot today so we took him back to Christine's place (Bruce's original owner). He got to see many of his brothers and sisters again - they've all grown considerably in just four weeks.

All this relentless wet weather we've had means his toilet training has gone backwards (it is easier in his mind to use our house as a toilet rather than go outside on the wet grass ;-)) so that has been a challenge, in addition to cultivating webbed feet in preparation for the biblical flooding about to happen here.

So today's shot is of two of this sisters in Christine & Ashley's backyard with Bruce in the background.

f365: Day 060

I picked my friend Tim up from the airport this morning and we spent the day at the Gold Coast and the "Wet 'n Wild" theme park. We were basically a couple of big kids and had a terrific time.

No cameras were allowed inside so I was unable to take a shot of the crazy rides.

Therefore on a more subdued note, my travel books have been sitting on our bookshelf for a long time now and are now fading. As I generally buy books for my Kindle now, seeing paperbacks stacked together is becoming less and less common.
