Today we walked to Australia’s highest point. The peak of Mount Kosciuszko. It’s a tidy 14 kilometre round trip from the top of the Thredbo chair lift. Which would have been nice if it wasn’t for all of the flies.
Climbing a Mountain
Before the Rain
Before the rain came a cricket match broke out. The Sydney Sixers played the Brisbane Heat in the first BBL match at North Sydney Oval on the 4th of January, 2023. Sadly rain shortened the game to 13 overs a side and then caused it to be cancelled after the first innings. Although as JFGP said they were a pretty good 13 overs.
An Uneasy Peace
Only the cat knows why he likes to sit on a chair with Yoda. Just as long as he doesn’t cross the Jedi master and find himself floating a metre above the floor.
Sydney to Hobart 2022
Today child 1 and I went to Sydney’s North Head and watched the start of the 2022 Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
Lockdown Baking
I’m a bit late to the lockdown baking trend but this is a picture of the first loaf made with my sourdough starter. I may do this again.
Comedy Night Out
A great night out at the Sydney Opera House watching the last night of Nish Kumar’s tour. We are all oat milk wankers after all.
Coffee with a View
I had a coffee this morning sitting outside a cafe with this view.
Giving Blood
I haven’t been able to donate blood since I moved to Australia in 1996. The restrictions were lifted in the last month so today was my first donation to the Australian Red Cross. It’s something we should all be doing every 3 months.
Dry July
Looks like dry July is finishing early this year.
The Festival of the Teenagers
The festival of the teenagers for this year continues with a cake for the youngest.
