Sunday May 13

All's well, no rain, but life's great. Had Kit and Kay#1 over for dinner last night - I really don't like cooking but I produced silverbeet, pea and pancetta soup followed by beef bourguignonne with a whole bottle of red in it and rosti duaphinoise (shredded potato), finished off with plain ice cream and berry sauce. Add to that a couple of good bottles of red and great conversation - a very good night. Kit's leaving for the States again this Wednesday and will have his birthday there, so it was for his birthday plus mine - we're a week apart.
We're off to see an exhibition of aboriginal art at the University of Queensland this afternoon. We'll drive to Dutton Park and walk across the new 'green bridge' over the Brisbane River to the uni. We're meeting up with friends at the bridge. Should be good. The Premier was in New York this week and launched the book from the exhibition. After Brisbane it tours to Singapore and New York.

PS WENT AND WAS VERY, VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE ART. IF YOU'RE IN BRISBANE, DON'T MISS IT. AS I SAID ABOVE, TOURING TO SINGAPORE AND NEW YORK. BERNADETTE CRONK AND MYSELF WENT HALVES ON THE BOOK FOR RENE'S BIRTHDAY (not until October).
Rene got back his last module assessment results, so he's finally finished his Small Business Management course. I'll help him celebrate it when the certificate arrives, but for now I'm really pleased for him. The results, of course, were excellent. He knows no less. Meanwhile I still have one unit to go.
