A day spent shuffling boxes from one storage area too another. A big thanks to Nick for helping out with the trailer and tractor. Rest of the day looking at statistics and culling the budget. More for less seems to the be the motivation - hopefully we will be able to retain all of our front-of-house staff and maintain a reasonable stock level - of new and exciting product.
It's my 1st anniversary at Heide MoMA. I've accomplished a number of things on my To Do List in the professional sense. Opened and stocked a new store, recruited and trained staff & volunteers, developed branded product and hit sales targets. This year will be making it sustainable and squeezing into a budget/expectations of the powers to be. Personally the challenge will be deciding if I want to learn to drive? The commute hasn't killed me and the freedom of a car would be good, but there goes my excuse that I'm doing my bit for the environment!
'Wine is sunshine held together by water' Mmmmmm I'd drink to that.
Was way too early to be drinking on sunday morning when I visited the wine centre but I did take heaps of photographs and wandered through the interactive displays.
Was great to chill out in Adelaide. I will always find the city alluring. So many silent witnesses and magic moments. Back to reality today with quick visit to dentist.
Gotta love milk! The regular variety is great and this is better - may have to import it? along with http://www.robernmenz.com.au/confectionery/confectionery_products.htm .. its a crow-eater thing?
The terminal is not that exciting but the view is pretty.
Lunch with my niece Kate
Good morning Adelaide. Conservative & slow to change? Well there seems to be more construction happening - all with a 'green' flavor. A great place to study - SA Uni campus in the city is now massive with a number of bold architectural styles. Riding one of the new trams to Glenelg.
Spent ages taking photographs in the Botanical Gardens of Adelaide & National Wine Centre. www.botanicgardens.sa.gov.au
Cultural precint, library. museum, art gallery. Hours of entertainment a success blend of old and new.
Adelaide - Himeji Garden
constructed in 1985. Wonderfully tranquil and green.
They forget to say many of them are now night clubs! Strolled along the North Terrace precinct this afternoon. The War Memorial is still one of my favourite pieces of stonework.
Friday in Adelaide - cocktails at Lotus then dancing until the wee hours at Mars Bar. Followed by BIG sleep-in and *cuddles* with my buddy Steve. After 14 years it's comforting to know i'm still his 'little b' and responsible all his bad behavior. Love ya mister
Smooth flight beautiful cloud formations. Landed and dis-embarked at the new Adelaide Airport terminal. Its been a long time coming - i kind of enjoyed the days of walking on the tarmac!
Day at work over, a busy mc aussie day, heading to airport via Skybus.
Did i pack everything i need? Thanx 2 Fluffy for ironing all my favourite tees :)
Hope the weather is stays warm but not too HOT! Haven't been home 2 Adelaide for over a year - Lee & Nicki's wedding? Look forward to seeing my family, catching up with friends and visiting my old haunts.
Can we live here!
My favourite tree-house.
Yawn... Could really do with some more zzzz's this morning But it was all go-go-go to get to work for our 1st 'comms' meeting of the year. Gotta love a 8:30 start
The destruction/poisoning of the shrubs didn't feel like a good starting point for the creation of HELMET. However all the big boy toy action over the last couple of days - clearing and compacting - will provide a good reference shot to refer to when the project is completed in April.
Slow start to the morning. Almost half way thru the week! Looking forward to spending the weekend in Adelaide - fly out on Friday night - haven't seen my family in ages.
