FRIDAY AT THE GRAMPIANS

A good night as usual at helen and don’s, corned beef and roast vegies, champagne cocktail on arrival, scrabble.  a tradition  :0)

TWO GOOD REASONS

to stop at Ouyen on the

way down

I spent a leisurely day driving down to geelong, lots of op shop stops and a few goodies on the way. a handknit jumper, pretty martini glass, some little baby board books for cal, a set of silver spoons for helen, a couple of books.  Stayed in geelong with denise and cooked dinner for her.

lunch at kelp in pt lonsdale

before the exhibition opening of the Affordable Xmas Show. the brighton girls came down, friends and family from geelong and melbourne    Denise and i drove down together – heaps of people, lots of buzz, good sales, and lovely to see so many friends there, just not enough time to talk to everyone properly.

most of us sold some work, i sold three on the day so i was happy.

I stayed with janet and bevan in pt lonsdale, we had a nice quiet night and beautiful butterfly leg of lamb done on the barbie, thanks bevan :0)

i’m here at gail’s in torquay now after breakfast and lunch with friends and family yesterday, it’s been a really blustery windy night with branches scratching on the roof and weird dreams.  off to melbourne today to see the Melbourne Now exhibition and to visit martin at his studio for some encaustic demonstration – anne lambert and i are both interested in using it in our work.
