Shopping and catching up with friends

This morning Dad dropped me at the doctors where I had to pick up some stuff and then I walked up to the Norwood Parade as Dad was doing his bus induction for the Kiwani's. It was a beautiful day so the walk was great although I was seriously sweating by the time I got there.

I walked around and stuck my nose in some shops but resisted the urge to buy anything. I had a coffee in the mall and continued to window shop before I met Dad at Manto's for lunch. We headed home and I chilled out before having to get ready to go out again.

I drove over to Stan and Kate's place as we were going out to Sinclair's Gully winery for the evening with some of their friends. We left about 6 and drove up to Norton Summit and beyond into the bush where we came across the tiny winery. They produced organic wine so we went through the tasting list and met up with Kate and Stan's friends. We moved to the big table down on a small landing where they brought us tasting platters to accompany our wine selection. As the sun set, black cockatoos flew through the trees and two friendly wallabies decided to come and visit the winery which was a big hit with the kids.

As we chatted, ate and drank, we listened to a lady singing. She was apparently one of the acts from Fringe and she was pretty good. After dark, a fire juggler came on and we all headed up to watch him. By this time, most of us had had enough wine to think that it looked pretty easy :-)

Back down at the table we finished our wine and wrapped up the evening before heading back to Stan and Kate's place for a tea. I drove home and fell into bed about midnight.
