Going out to lunch

We’re moving towards summer and it’s a beautifully warm day today. Shortly we are catching a train to the northern suburbs of our city of Perth in Western Australia. A friend will board the train a couple of stops along then another friend will meet us all at our destination and provide us with lunch.
This is one of the benefits of living in the city/suburbs. There is an excellent rail service and most of the day, travel is free. It beats driving 2 ½ hours to get to Perth. The friends are ladies I worked with some years ago. We’ll catch the train home again at some stage.
Tonight is free movie night in our village and hopefully we’ll be able to go. And good news, I am barely coughing at all now.

Your last sentence is very welcome news! I've been worried about you.
I hope you enjoy the trip and getting together with your friends over lunch...

Often good train services are better than driving.
I hope that you had a good lunch.
For me, Perth signifies a place hosting a cricket ground with a fast and bouncy cricket patch.
Yet I also understand that it is perhaps the busiest Western Australian city.

@JudyEv
Means there can be some standard infrastructure and other big city issues there?

@JudyEv
Sounds quite familiar!
And is water availability an issue in Perth?

Travel via train would be fast. Here, prior pandemic, trains are always full.

@JudyEv I definitely love Old Hollywood movies more when it comes to those that use a lot of swearing
