Celebration at Miss Chow’s

Miss Chow’s is an up-market Chinese restaurant in South Perth. We enjoyed some tasty morsels yesterday evening:

E chose a selection of dumplings
and a mocktail

Very tasty!

Mine was a version of Singapore Noodles,
with extra prawns

The prawns were really fresh and juicy

Afterwards we strolled along the South Perth foreshore, where there is some clever artwork:

Behind E's head is the building where I lived when I first moved to Perth in 1990. I used to cross the river every day by ferry to the CBD and then by bus to Mt Lawley.

What were we celebrating? A momentous step for C, who has resigned from her job of ten years to become a student nurse. She will start a nursing degree at Curtin in a couple of weeks, beginning with a science bridging course. She received some very appropriate leaving presents from her office: a nurse’s upside down watch and a stethoscope.
