A Rainy Day in Sydney

What does one do on a rainy day in Sydney? Jane and I had a wonderful time. We wandered over street and park, we wandered up and down. We loitered here, we loitered there, till we was like to drop. Until at last, in sheer dispair we sought...

The National Gallery

And the Botanical Gardens





And the Sydney skyline.




And the Opera House

What is that Coat Hanger doing there?
Ah... time to relax at the Chocolate Shop!

A menage a trois! That is what the delights below are called.
And then we had to walk it off.

A Trip to Manly to See My Friend Night (Peta)

Well, it was a bleak day, but perfect for catching up with my great friend "Night", better known to some as Peta! Had a lovely lunch together caught up on the wild gossip and promised to catch up again soon. Since we haven't seen each other for coming on for ten years, I'm determined to hold you to another catch up Peta!!! It was wonderful to see you. And you look disgustingly well!

Here we are again... Night and Day
Manly Beach is looking a bit bleak though!
And I took a trip to the North Heads to look over the Bay at the City in the distance. I defy you to see it!!!

Tony Childs in Concert. At Merimbula!

How lucky were we? Seeing Tony Childs in concert after years of her being out of action due to Graves Disease. She toured lots of small towns during her trip to Australia. And was fabulous. A spiritually aware and astounding lady. Loved the whole show!

The Red Rocket Comes to Merimbula

Tragically, it was my job to drive F.R.E.D. over Mt Hotham and on to Merimbula. All those wonderfully scary twists and turns! Somehow we managed it in record time! Oh, yes. F.R.E.D. stands for F*** Red car! Here she is showing off at the top of Hotham.

Picnic At Lake Pambula

What a perfect day for a picnic!!! So Bob and Sarina invite us to take their boat, and follow their kayaks up the lake to a special spot for a wonderful picnic. Here is Sarina showing how the kayak works...

And here is Heather, ready for a fabulous outing.
Steve and Bob discuss ... Well, I'm not sure what they are talking about, but they are obviously having fun.
Great photo guys!
Lets go... the scenery is just beautiful
Heather is having lots of fun!
Oh, and Look! There is Bob and Sarina, at the special picnic spot.
A photo for absent friends... the chairs are for those who should be here.

Steve has constructed a special seat for himself, out of driftwood and spikey plant... Not sure I like that one, but he seems perfectly happy. Check out the stubby holder too!

Steve decides he needs to check out this kayaking lark

No Sweetie! You don't go backwards all the time...
Ah. Got it.
Mel, not to be outdone, shows his skills

Time to come back. Sadly it is home time.We zoom off in the boat, leaving Mel and Bob to kayak back to the boat ramp.

Don't get left behind, Mel!

Tathra Beach With The Doggies

Delighted Doggies... A walkies at the beach!!! Steve lets Bundy off the leash, and asks him to be a good boy...

Would these two ever misbehave?
Bundy goes wild with excitement! Jess stays calm and cool...

"C'mon, Jess" says Bundy, check out this wet stuff! But Jess is not interested. This stuff is way too wild for her.
Jess is more of a desert dog.

She is on her best behaviour.
While Bundy just laughs and laughs!!!
OK, doggies... time to go home... "Do we have to?" they say.
Yup. They head back over the dunes. Back home for a big, big sleep.
