It been a fair few years since I worked in Perth but my current project required a site visit to a Perth DC for a few weeks so I found myself back in Perth for a few weeks. Since I was staying for a weekend I had a chance to walk around town and I was amazed at just how much this little city had grown up, you could not cross a block without some major building construction blocking your way but I did had a chuckle when I realised Perth still has some growing up to do when I released the stores in town on Sundays only open at 12:00pm and you struggle to find a pub open during the week after 9:30pm
What had not changed was the stunning Perth coastline and the sunsets which make for jogging along the coast or the river pretty special.

Ever since the deck was built the next door neighbour cat Leo (his actual name is “ginger” but we both feel he is much more of a Leo than a “ginger”) has been making our place his home. Like all cats, he was out on a mission, first moving in on our new deck, then into our garden, the back room and finally just moving in.. The funny thing is, this is not our cat, not that you can ever own a cat, cats choose owners, and if you are lucky they might let you share the house with them.

Once a year, Melbourne hosts the Australian Open. Now I am not the biggest of Tennis fans but the prospect of going to watch some of the world’s best is hard to ignore (plus Sharon loves to go) so we usually make a night of it and watch the two night games at the Rod Laver Arena. This year we got to see Davenport VS Sharapova (and yes those grunts are really irritating live) and Roddick VS Berrer which turned out to be a surprisingly good game, not the expected Roddick whitewashing the opposition.
I also took my Canon G9 along to test how it would handle the court lighting and how many blurs I would snap of the ball being hit at the 150+ KM speeds and was pretty impressed at how the G9 handed these demanding situations. (showing it’s true colours as one of the top notch point and click camera)
