And this man is back! Four weeks after his first Covid symptoms appeared Rob made it up our local Mt Pleasant on the weekend - a bit out of breath but not too bad considering it was a mountain after all. Maybe he's not ready for Mt Ainslie yet - but its coming!
We're in the depths of winter here in Canberra - and a cold wet winter at that. We've had lots of days that start out looking like this from our front windows ....
We walked up to our fave Sonoma Bakery on a recent -40C morning, where we sat outside (very Covid safe) and enjoyed a coffee and a morning bun, a regular treat for us, but even more appreciated this freezing morning!
Another cold wet day we walked into Civic, just in time for the street food outlets at Verity Lane Markets to open. We couldn't believe it's taken us this long to discover Ramen Daddy - perfect winter grey day food...
But Canberra does a beautiful winter day, like no other city does (IMHO). Those clear blue skies go on forever and the light has such clarity (and warmth!). Our regular lake walks are just a delight on days like this.....
We had a brief but welcome visit from our friends David and Ro from Cairns last week. I took this pic of Ro walking into our Parliament House on Wednesday. She had a meeting with our new Minister for the Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek to talk about the last State of the Environment Report that Ro had had a hand in writing. David and Ro were here straight from the Tropics - but Canberra did us proud for the two days they were here. It was winter perfection.
We enjoyed hearing a full report of Ro's meeting with the Minister - a decade has been wasted but maybe as a country we are going to start on a better track from now on!
