Richard's 65th Birthday weekend.

We had a lovely busy weekend for Richard's 65th birthday.  We started off on Friday evening with a meal at the Casino and a show.  We saw Echo's of Pink Floyd tribute band.  They were awesome.  Saturday morning at 6.00am we went swimming at the Gravelly Beach Swimming Pool, then out to lunch at the Riverside Hotel with some friends - sorry no photos of that occasion.  Then on Sunday we had a family bbq at home. Richard had a lovely weekend.


The birthday boy 😀


The stage before the show started.


During the show, it was hard to get photos with people sitting in front.


We go swimming every weekend.
This video was taken before we went to 
Fiji and we were trying out our snorkel gear 
and underwater camera.


Everyone here for Richard's birthday.

I never get tired of this view.

We moved to Blackwall 16 years ago.  And I never get tired of the ever changing views from our front window. Beautiful afternoon sunset glow...
