Visit to the National Gallery Of Australia

CranesSketchSchool is not so bad the second time around!

Ash and I went to the National Gallery of Australia today to try our hands at sketching. I gave Alex the choice of era and culture, and he chose Asian Art. We found ourselves seated in front of a Japanese screen featuring cranes. (I cannot think of anything harder to sketch than Japanese cranes – give me Paul Klee anytime!)

CranesOriginalAsh’s work is covered by an embargo, so I can’t show it here yet. Anyway, when my boss checks this attempt out, he will write ‘Software – ONLY software” on my employment file!

Frosty morning in Canberra

It was a bit of a shock going to 8am mass this morning. The car was covered in a heavy frost. My phone advised me that it was -4o C. Fortunately, I had my Burwood Library Card (that I had looked at 3 days ago and wondered why I had not left that one behind) and it served its role perfectly.

Doing Maths on Holiday

Thanks to my mother for this delightful picture of me doing homework while on holidays.

So if I carry 7....

I also note in the background the very practical fly net on the straw hat. I wonder if I’ll be needing those on this trip.
