A community-focused rainy weekend

 

I am challenging myself to rediscover my blogging habit and this starts now!
So, the weekend involved FOUR community events. 

On Friday night, a group of art therapists (and UQ graduates) had their annual art exhibition opening in Paddington, at the Percolator Gallery.

On Saturday we visited the Coopers Plains Library, reopened after  extensive renovations, including the pencil posts, below....



And this surprising ceiling picnic in the kids area, above - too bad mine are all grown up.

Then we went to Annerley Uncovered, another community event in a nearby suburb, and ended up working on the barbecue, in the rain, for an hour or so.


Cycling between rain showers on Sunday morning, we found a mandala in the Botanic Gardens, and an almost deserted Goodwill Bridge for coffee.


Later on Sunday there was the Picnic in the Park to Save our Salisbury Parklands from property development.


Its been a whirlwind weekend, phew!
