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.

The movie was very funny although the language was pretty foul.

@RubyHawk You have to expect it usually in today's movies.

@JudyEv I know how irritating that can be. I got covid in September but I'm still coughing

@JudyEv I am glad, I think that the cough is part of this year flu.

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?

The traffic here is often heavy and slow and the train can be much, much faster. However, it doesn't always go where you want it to.

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

I was quite aghast when you said "moving toward summer". Then I looked at your profile, where it is written "Australia". That explains it. You are down-under.
