All weekends feel special. Especially as I spend them all with my lovely girl. But this weekend felt really special. It culminated today in the purchase of this wonderful etching by Australian artist Anne Smith. We bought it at the Falls Gallery in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains. The colours are just beautiful. We were also lucky to get a peek inside the home of the owners of the gallery and saw some magnificent art hanging on the walls, including a sublime Garry Shead. What a great artist he is.

Some of the other highlights of the weekend were-
Essendon smashing the vastly over rated Carlton on Friday night.
Seeing a potentially great wedding venue in the Mountains.
Finding great things at Gleebooks in Blackheath.
Josophan's Chocolates.
Dinner with wonderful company in Blackheath.
Meeting two beautiful dogs on Sunday morning.

Some other thoughts-
Triple J Hottest 100 closes tonight. Wilco got my number one song.
Pink really needs to leave our country. She is awful.
This week's Chaser was a big return to form.
I hope Tyler Hansborough succeeds in the NBA.
Malcolm Turnbull has lost all credibility.
