I have been using the S30 Pro smart telescope for a while and was looking forward to the new S50 Pro that was released a few days ago. I ordered it and (unbelievably) was able to collect it today. It gives a narrower field of view and higher resolution. Of course, the weather for the next week is rubbish so testing may be delayed.
As a finale to Adam's birthday, we had a restaurant dinner with the family at "2Elements" in Ringwood. Good food and setting made for a great night. (The low lighting meant the best results were with monochrome.)
We experimented with a new arrangement for the family gathering for Adam's birthday. The only difference was that the main course was Pizza. This arrangement seemed to work well and will probably be used again.
I think I want to be a medical student when I grow up. Patrick and Eloise on another tough day, this one at the Med Ball!
We enjoyed a family dinner last night to celebrate Adam's 53rd birthday. With beautiful salad and lamb, some olive bread and a couple of stellar old red wines there is not much more you could want!
We watched an interesting game yesterday. Cooper's team were struggling early and in the second half the number of fouls they received mystified all the spectators. In fact they played a lot of the second half with 9 fouls against them. Despite that they drew level and finished with a draw. An amazing result.
As Pat is now centred around Melbourne Uni, the BT50 had become a little too demanding on space and fuel so it has made way for a smaller and more efficient Corolla. The perfect car for his requirements.
The numbers are declining but we still enjoyed lunch with our friends from our 1998 European Tour. The Platform Pantry in Blackburn performed well.
Lachlan's team were playing the top team yesterday. Things did not look promising in the early stages but the boys fought back to come away with a one point win!
We had a family celebration of Brett and Mark's birthday weeks ago and it was only this week that we were able to take both families out for their birthday dinners. Last night we celebrated Brett's birthday at Rubik's, a great little refurbished restaurant in Kerrimur.
