Still Going around Perth
Tuesday night ended with me being narrowly defeated (11-10) by SIL Paul and me feeling quite good on the outcome.Thursday and the days are shooting by so I ventured out on my own via Bus & Train,firstly in Perth CBD for a look around and the actual centre hasn,t changed that much,still managed to get a fair walk in. Back to the station and a further train ride to Mandurah (when we first arrived here in 82 this place was almost deserted BUT now very built up with new homes) Mandurah is about an hours train ride from CBD,passing places like Wellard (really) Cockburn (mmm) and our first home in Kwinana.Quick look around and I caught the train right back to Joondaloop (approx 1 and 1/2 hrs away) all Public transport in Perth is free at weekends and between hours of 9am to 3pm IF current Seniors card is held and I do have one.Next came the tricky bit (after a late lunch in the HUGE shopping centre) Went to the info office at the adjoining bus station whereupon the staff were excellent in explaining the bus to catch etc.,the driver (from Brazil) was equally brilliant and we chatted mainly about Pele (for those that know) as he eventually let me off at the destination stop.Night time Jayne n Paul went quietly about preparing Charlies birthday for tomorrow & I sat watching Telly sipping in my ice cold white wine.THURSDAY and its grandson Charlies 4th birthday and he was presented with a childs educational tablet,however he did whinge because he didn,t get a card !!After dropping Will of at skule,me,Paul and birthday boy Charlie headed to Langdale Farm to see vari0us animals in the sanctuary.
