Fun few days

Over the past three days I have been staying with my friend Anne-marie.


Thursday night we went to her daughters (Alanna Cherote - remember that name - picture above) gig at the Supper Club in Sydney. Alanna brought her fabulous voice with her. Wonderful. We parked right outside the club in a no standing zone and didn't get a ticket. The parking Angels were certainly looking after us. More wonderful.

Friday we brunched and shopped and drank coffee and talked and ate.

Saturday we hung out.

Thank you for treating me like a Queen. I enjoyed every single moment.

Your turn next Anne-marie.

Walk before the storm

I managed a walk before the rain this morning.

I'm loving my seaside daisy at the moment.

Garage sales are big around here, especially on a long weekend. That tree has enough nails in it to build a small house...amazing it survives.

My brother thinks it's funny that the birds around here don't fly away when you walk past. They just get on with their business. He also had a kangaroo hop past him when he was walking down the street and he thought that was hilarious.

Interesting root shapes where the water has washed the soil away .... amazing that tree survives as well.

I found these shells on the beach. Not a good photo but you can see the shape ... Angel Wings.

Just to show you how 'tough' this walking everyday thing is

This walking everyday caper is tough but someone's got to do it.

Past the whale watch boats,

the sea pool and

off down the beach

Past the abandoned castle

nature's sea pool, and

turn around with the tide

Past the climbing thingy,

and swings

Past the 'famous' Husky Pub

and back to my car

It didn't hurt a bit.

Thanks for joining me.

Doctors Orders

My Doctor has prescribed a walk every day for at least 30 minutes. So I have to drag myself, kicking and screaming down here to the Basin and walk whether I like it or not.

The walking path is on the left of the picture

Sometimes I even have to turn my head and look at this

Could be worse I s'pose.

Wind and Red Dust from Central Australia

Wind, red dust and a bit of rain is not a good combination.

My car and house are covered

but a good old Aussie pie in the comfort of my car
was still a pleasure down by the bay.

While I was chatting to my new found old friend she had a knock on her door. It was her neighbour to tell her the wind had picked up their garden shed and deposited it on her clothes line. Seems they are very neighbourly in the country .... they share everything.

An Old Friend

Yesterday I met up with an old friend I haven't seen or heard from for a decade or more and except for catching up on water under the bridge, it felt as if we had not had that distance.

Bargain Shopping Day

Today I went to a few garage sales, the op shop, the tip shop and Tomerong Markets. Didn't take my camera but here is a link to the markets.

I scored a pair of pants and a blouse for $4 at the Op Shop and spent too much on a card reading at Tomerong Markets ..... although the things he knew were spot on and if his predictions are as correct, I'm in for a good time.

Just so you have something to look at .. this is where I hang out on a good day like today.
