Day five: Barrelling along

Day five: Barrelling along

Today was another warm day in Brisbane but not to yesterday's extent. More of that tomorrow apparently. So it was more a day to listen to the cricket, read, slumber and so forth. Growing up on the Sydney and Gold Coast beaches, days like today would be beach days, automatically. The beach meant surfing and surfing meant seeking the perfect tube ride...

A pink day
I had those memories in mind when I looked into the heart of this emerging frangipani this morning. The flowers in full bloom are the usual white with yellow, but they begin with this rich pink and unfurl slowly. It can be quite a distraction. 

Day three of Sydney Cricket Ground test is the McGrath Foundation's pink day, in support of breast cancer. It was a pink kinda day... (Australia sealed a 5-0 Ashes sweep before the day was done.)
