I’ve been watching a lot of the Australian Open opening matches and having a blast! Lots of fun matches.
Thursday night we went to the ribbon-cutting for the Texas de Brazil steakhouse, then Friday night we attended the farewell party for Jane Miller, the outgoing British ambassador, and her husband Rob. Saturday we met some embassy folks for lunch at the Oasis Cafe. This afternoon I had a good catch-up chat with my friend in the consular section when she came over to enjoy the pool. Speaking of the pool, a striated heron stopped by to say hi this week — and we have at least one baby thrush in the nest in the pool cabana!
Otherwise the week was pretty routine. We’re watching “The Night Manager,” “The American Revolution,” and “Hijacked.” Last night we watched a feel-good, older movie with Helen Mirren called “The 100-Foot Journey.”
