Chilly night, lovely day

Last nights dinner at the TAFE restaurant was delicious. $30 for a three course meal prepared by apprentice chefs and served by wait staff in training. There is a lot to be said for being served by and cooked for by people who are out to impress their teachers. If anyone has the opportunity to visit their local college I can recommend it. I felt a little like a judge on a television cooking show only I was there to enjoy, not to critique. I didn't take pictures because I thought it might add a bit of unnecessary pressure. I'm glad I put those new flannel sheets on the bed. We had out first fair dinkum frost of the season last night. I think this frost might be the official end of the summer garden.

I'm grateful that this Chinese Lantern shrub is my mother's and not mine. It looked pretty but a little chilly this morning in its icy coat.

Not only frost but a fog too. I love foggy weather (except when I have to drive). It has a bit of mystery about it. I half expect Kate Bush to pop out of the mist singing Wuthering Heights.

Typically, the fog lifted and the frost melted to bring a beautiful sunny day. Just right for drying washing and salvaging anything left in the garden which needs it.
