OA walk - FS TWD

Had a great trip with Probus to the Space Centre. Lots of interactive fun with a lunar Explorer and a very informative talk from one of the space students. The True or false quiz was enlightening and we were encouraged by the enthusiasm and friendliness of all the staff. Got there a bit early so explored North Terrace....in the rain Back again on Saturday and had another wander round the Art Gallery and Library on a slightly drier afternoon than Thursday. Finished off the day singing in flash mob at a wedding!

Great day out with the Coromandel Community Centre Social Group Spent an amazing morning at the David Roache Museum in North Adelaide (with a bonus Wedgwood exhibition). The camera was working overtime but here's just a few. It was followed by lunch at Fare and Square on Wellington Square

Finally found an art class to join... at Coromandel Community Centre. I never imagined I'd be starting by learning to draw portraits but after a successful week drawing eyes, ears and mouths I had a go at trying to capture the likeness of two great British acting Dames, Maggie and Judi Next, I moved on to watercolours (my favourite medium) and attempted a Maasai Warrior Decided to quit while I was ahead and moved on to water colour pencils. I drew a still life then added some water to enhance the colours Next challenge....fur. Tried watercolour pencils again as I had drawn my dog on textured paper. Quite pleased with my first attempt so far but plan to also try it again using pastel pencils (I treated myself today) on coloured paper. More animals planned for my Holiday homework now I've caught the art/painting bug again..... Watch this space  

Toured the Hills towards Hahndorf avoiding the roadwork on River Road. Stopped at Macclesfield for a stroll before heading to The Plough, a great Irish Cafe for brunch. Explored some of the back streets before topping up with fruit and vegetables at the Market
