I certainly hope your weekend was as interesting as ours. Friday saw dinner over at friends who were jointly celebrating birthdays and the departure of another to the States.
Three friends came over for lunch Saturday and then in the evening we ventured across the river to Lota and had a superb dinner put together by our friends Peter and Bernadette. He had prepared Persian lamb meatballs on couscous drizzled with sour cherry sauce - stunning. Dessert was grapes marinated in rose water with ice cream and Persian fairy floss on top (tasted almondy). Very adult flavours, quite delicious. I should say Peter cooked but Bernadette also did the serving and tables. One guest at dinner was just back again from Qatar, and with various guests about to jet off hither and yon I felt quite the one left out (with Rene) because we're not heading off anywhere in the foreseeable future.
Sunday was friends around for coffee and cake, then I went in the evening to the airport to pick up a friend from Canberra who has a meeting in Brisbane today. Rene and I joined him in walking to dinner at a very nice Thai restaurant, and then when we returned we found this Tawny Frogmouthed owl (see above) sitting on our deck railing. Must dash, off to work for a rest.
Rene's photograph is below, mine above. He has a much better camera.
