ADFA Playing Fields, Duntroon

How much do I love rugby? Some would say too much! Lastnight I gave up going to a free Bertie Blackman show to support my flatmate's boyfriend's team the Hall Bushrangers as they took on the ADFA (Australian Defence Force Academy) team. The boys went down, and we couldn't feel our toes by the end of it, but the hot soup we had when we got home made it all worth it.

Misty morning

Leaving for work at 6.30am yesterday morning. The fog was so thick I had to drive 40 km/h all the way there. Excuse the bad quality, I just wanted to share the eeriness.

Afternoon delight

Dare to Dance!

Anyone who has lived in Canberra, or been to Canberra and followed signs full of promise such as "Deakin Shops" will know that in virtually every suburb around the city there is the modern equivalent of the corner shop: a half block of shop fronts that will always house a grocer and maybe a cafe, take-away or a pharmacy. Though it is absolutely contrived I like the concerted attempt to foster (in some small way) a sense of small scale community. Every time I go for a bottle of milk I see the same faces, and they recognise me. It's nice to know that I'm not getting lost in the crowd.

This little dance studio is part of my local 'shops'. It's always interesting to walk past and see the girls in their black leotards doing moves I could never even dream of! Makes my walk and grocery run that little bit more fun and proves that sometimes enjoyment is closer to home than you think.
