My favorite day of the year




Sculpture Garden Sunday - lots of lovely stuff in the Sculpture Garden of the National Gallery.

As we walked down from parking the car behind the Finance building, I was very glad to already have seen the Masterpieces from Paris exhibition, as the queue to get into the gallery was past the Portrait Gallery.

The girls had a lovely time - painting, washing the babies, making flowers out of plastic cups and pots, creating amazing clay works, headbands and drawing with tape on a wall. I love the explosion of creativity this brings.


Looking around at all those families and kids outside, in the fresh air, not a screen in sight, getting dirty and having fun, in one of Australia's great cultural institutions, I thought it was a great use of public money.

Everyone is now very tired and cranky, so there is a free range roast chicken in the oven, Rosemary has made one of her special desserts and then it will be early to bed.

We've had a lovely weekend. It was great to see Lisa, and we managed to go out to dinner last night, which was great. She made some recommendations about new paint colours for when we decide to repaint.

A busy week ahead, but we'll tell you about that after it happens. Now it's making beds, folding laundry and tidying up. But that's Sunday night for you.
