year of the sheep

Hi

Apparently the year of the sheep (or goat) is going to be more chilled out than last year, the year of the horse. It's going to be calmer and more nurturing than last year, which kind of bolted away from us and made crazy stuff happen. These photos were taken at the Chinese New Year fair last week in Northbridge. Here's a greeting I found when googling the year of the goat:

Wishing you a goat year, in life goat eyebrows and snorting, in business goat self-satisfying, in career goat pass wide road, and may worries goat be always far away. This goat year make a goat fortune, everyday a cheerful goat!

So there you go. Happy goat eyebrows to you this year!

Here's some more photos from the day in Freo.

Have a great weekend!

I had a really nice day last week (just before Australia Day, hence all the flags) in Fremantle, wandering around, feeling like a tourist. We had lunch in the park, put our feet in the ocean, walked a lot and got sunburnt, then found the oasis that is the MANY6160 store for a nice iced coffee. I like how Fremantle changes slowly - some things are new, but it has such a distinct character it somehow always seems the same. Like Perth, it has some really derelict and underutilised pockets, even in the centre, which is a shame - but there's more than enough to see and do to make up for that. Because I don't go to Freo often, I always enjoy it and feel like I have had a tiny, tiny holiday!
