Went to a tour of the University House restoration progress with Peter Kanowski today. Looking really good. Soft open of cellar bar and kitchen in June/July. Public opening on 14/15 August.
#canberra #anu

University House's main dining hall with Leanard French's mural "Regeneration" at the far end.
The new kitchen facilities with lots of shiny new stainless steel equipment and benches all over the place. In the foreground are a new 4-burner induction cook top and a gigantic motorised bratt pan.
The Scarth Room with all its dark Queensland walnut paneling restored, including removing the white paint on the ceiling panels giving a darker and "more authentically oxbridge" feel to the room.
Boffins Restaurant with both the restored original parquetry floor (foreground) and new extension (right/rear). All the new updates have been given mid-century styling and fabrics including a "bricklaying" arrangement of wooden boxes separating the dining area from the bar and access corridor behind.

I grew up on buses in #Canberra, and though I was away for ~30 years, even with all its changes, I took to #PublicTransport again like a duck to water.
My wife, OTOH, grew up in Sydney and went straight from foot to car as soon as she was old enough. She’s in a wheelchair now, but despite all ass…

A kid asking on /r/melbourne about how to use a train station. I wonder how many people don't use public transport simply because nobody showed them how to use it as a kid, then they started driving, and they never felt comfortable asking later in life. https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1t342pr/how_do_i_use_a_train_station/

Public holiday today but only in NSW/ACT and WA. Although I'm in Canberra I still had a few commitments. Managed to squeeze in a coffee walk with husband between web work and a zoom meeting. Now to watch a couple more episodes of The Pitt season 2 before bed.

We saw this cute pale pink station wagon parked in Erindale today. I've never seen a car in quite that shade of pink before. 🩷

A chilly Canberra sunday morning: grandson is still asleep, grand-dog is on my bed, and I have a cup of tea and a mastodon home feed to read before I contemplate getting up. I love Sundays!
