sunday morning

sunday morning in mt. martha - peter slept in and mun and dad went for a walk around the block. typical victorian schizophrenic weather; pouring rain and then the sun was out. we went to the mornington cemetery to see my great grandparents and my papa and it was so nice to be out of the city and in the fresh air for a while.

wednesday night

last night mum, dad and i paid a visit to harriet and alex's new apartment in westgarth. it's a great position; right around the corner from the awesome westgarth cinema. harriet's made the place her own already - she's all over it. we ate fish and chips and i trawled through her travel books looking for places to see when peter and i drive through louisiana, kentucky and virginia later in the year.

peter thinks that harriet in the above photo looks exactly like she does as a little girl. i'm inclined to agree:

thursday night

the melbourne writers festival doesn't kick off until august but we got a bit of a preview on thursday night by hearing richard ford speak about his new book canada at the atheneum theatre. i've only read one of his books and it was years ago but dad is huge fan. ford has this slow, introspective way of writing which isn't usually my thing. he's also the only writer in history to win the pulitzer prize and the pen faulkner award in the same year (for independence day in 1995). despite not being a huge fan he had a lovely slow way of speaking (completely with southern accent) and he was great to listen to.
