We're out of here

Sunday 12^th January

A taxi to Central Station (I know softie travellers) to pick up the coach for Canberra and meet up with an old friend of mine for a few days. She was their waving as we arrived.

She lives in a lovely part of Canberra called Kingston in a great apartment. Rod unfortunately still feeling crook, so he repaired to bed as me and Kate walked over to the Bus Stop Markets. A bit quiet as the holiday season has only just finished and life winding up again.

In the markets there is a photographic gallery of a guy called Col Ellis and I spent a lot of time in his studio; most impressed with his works and he has some great ideas and use of colour.  Gave me some ideas for when I get home.

At 6pm is was yard arm time, and we sat on the balcony drinking G&T and gossiping. Wadda Life! Kate did her brilliant Thai Beef Salad had with some lovely local Red Wine and suddenly it was time for bed..... zzzzzzzzzz
