Susie is coming in for the weekend so I went with Stew to the airport so I could drop the rental car off. Unfortunately it turns out that she was coming in the international terminal which is very far away, basically a different airport. So I had to wait for them to come pick me up.
Spent the morning at the beach (Cottesloe ), then had a pub lunch across the street). Spent the afternoon in Freemantle wandering around the public market and waterfront stores.
Back at Kate and Stew's place I settled down for a rest - my cold has gotten really bad and it hurts to talk. So of course I was in rare form for the diner party that Kate and Stew hosted. Some friends of theirs, Collin and Kara joined us. The diner was fantastic (a crab pasta entree, lamb tajine for the main, chocolate mouse for desert, and eight bottles of wine for entertainment). Actually the wine, and especially the port, really soothed my throat.
