Free in Perth

The best laid plans are not immune from senior moments. Cousin Penny thought that wer were coming next Sunday. The only time she has to slot us into her busy life is on Wednesday for breakfast before we catch the plane to Mauritius.

So, with a free day, we explored the Perth Cultural precinct. The museum is closed. It will open with a huge glass annex stuck onto the grand old brick edifice in 2020. The Art Gallery has already been "done". It used to be the Police Court 

and now has a pentagonal annex with all the bells and whistles. I am delighted that there are heaps of women artists on the walls.

Across the plaza is the state library which featured a show about Hairy McClary's nemesis

Scarface Claw.

Tonight we plan to go to Miss Maud's for a smorgasbord. Haven't had an excess of herrings for years.

And I finished my Shropshire dicky. It started out as a small bag of white fleece. I spun it, dyed it ( the colours are more olive and grey between the orange and blue) then knit it three times. Now I am done because I used all the yarn to the last 6ins.
