1st May, 2023. 

It's a public holiday in Brisbane for Labor Day. 

Blue sky, chilly wind ... very Autumnal. 

Great shot of Nambucca Heads, NSW. 

Can see many places where I roamed as a child on numerous vacations there. 

Yesterday was Dec's 27th birthday ! 

As part of his celebration, he and his partner

went to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child play in London, where they both live. 

Thus said, a small celebration was held in Brisbane

sans the Birthday Boy. 

Kisna Restaurant for lunch @ M/side. 

Followed by store-bought mini tart and coffee @ B6. 

 Good Friday

Rain rain rain ... AusPost is closed everyday over Easter. 

So, four days off work. 

The Logitech Gaming wheel - looks great, Sam @ Logitech Gaming. 

Cheers @ B6.

The Three Sisters all met together after 10 years. 

Here's the elder two, the younger one ( and the youngest child )

took the photo in the Izakaya in Tokyo.  The boy / brother was absent. 

 ............ 

Early dinner at The Treasury Casino. 

It was really great. 

Lots of hot days and humid nights during March. 

Isn't this supposed to be Autumn weather ? 

Well guess what ... it most certainly ain't that. 

Manly Boat Harbour for Saturday Luncheon. 

First time there. 

Dec sent me this photo of himself as a baby at Samford. 

I didn't have a copy of this photo and don't recall having ever seen it before.
