Day 88: Lots of knick knacks and stories...

Day 88: ...a visit to mum's place.

Back safely last night but off to clarinet rehearsal this morning. Some days just seem busier than they should be. After the rehearsal I had to head down the coast to visit my mum and friends who where visiting...they'd come from interstate. They are the sort of family friends where the emphasis is on the 'family' rather than friends, since we have all been apart of each others lives since before my generation of kids were born.

Hanging about on the verandah

A pleasant lunch and then back to mum's for the afternoon to share a few stories. Of course, in those moments, one sees things that have been around the house for many years and yet burnished with the reflection of the afternoon have stories of childhood and growing up...it's mum's place after all. 

She sells sea shells...

So, individually, quite insignificant I suppose, but together they tell a story...and there's a flower, of course. All this on the big verandah out the front, at the table, the place of many stories.

Back home to work...there is some conference paper finessing to be done (post blog catch-up).
