Dark Barbie

Nicky visited us yesterday, briefly interrupting our deck-oiling which we've been doing for the past couple of days.

It's been hard work what with the scrubbing with deck-clean and lots work on all fours but it's looking good.

I put the last coat on this afternoon and it's going through its final dry now. We even slapped some oil on the front fence. How about that.

Anyway, I digress... Nicky came over and we took her out for a barbie in the usual sulubrious locale of Kangaroo Point beneath the Story Bridge. We got there as the sun was going down and chowed down to some mystery foods that we couldn't see properly but which were jolly tasty nonetheless.

Nicky's arrival was of course extremely popular with Eloise, who very enthusiastically stole her lip balm and smeared the strawberry-flavoured stuff all over her mouth all night.

Later I read on the internet how it's actually physically impossible to photograph as well-exposed moon against a well-exposed night scene, say of a city, without using a double exposure and so felt that I should fake a photo of Brisbane with a full moon setting or rising or whatever to illustrate our dark barbie experience.

So there it is.
