On the eighth day of Christmas, I forgot to blog! I also went on a drive to Wollongong, via the beautiful coastal villages and the stunning Sea Cliff Bridge Young Gun is on his L’s, so he drove all the way down and most of the way back. Fish and chips at Wollongong harbour, nice…
It really is my intention to do some study today. I’m on the last subject of my Masters in Information Studies (at least, I’m pretty sure it’s my last subject, I just need to wait for the office at CSU to reopen so I can confirm that. I think I’m being paranoid. I’m almost certain…
Today is a cross between a #blog12daysxmas post and one of my Daytripper posts. This morning I mentioned to some friends that I was taking pot luck for my walk today: I had half a thought of going to Bondi or Coogee and walking some of the beautiful coast track, but when I got off…
Hmmm, what shall I do today? I am fortunate enough to be working at a university library and as the entire University shuts down for 2 weeks over Christmas we have this enforced holiday every year, from a few days before Christmas until the day after New Year. It costs us a few days leave,…
In an attempt to atone for the excess of food consumed on Christmas Day, today I walked across the historic railway bridge that spans the Georges River between Oatley and Como on the South Coast/Illawarra railway line. It’s a popular walk and I often see power walkers, joggers, families and cyclists using the bridge as…
I love a good public holiday Monday and I’ve been so very, very busy at work the past few weeks that I found myself really looking forward to the recent long weekend even more than I normally would. This particular long weekend I got away to the Central Coast with a few members of my…
There is a lot of architecture going on in Watson’s Bay. Chiefly, there is a weatherboard, slightly nautical look that struck me as an architectural cross between The Ghost and Mrs Muir and Admiral Boom’s house from Mary Poppins. It intrigued me and I would have taken photos except that I felt a bit awkward about snapping pictures of…
I love a long weekend! Particularly a four day long weekend. Good Friday saw us head out to Botany Bay National Park at Kurnell for a few hours with some friends who had a rare day off because of the public holiday and wanted to do some fishing. I’m not mad keen about fishing so…
I don’t particularly like summer and February is normally the month I dread more than any other – it’s hot, humid, the back-to-work-after-the-holidays-blues have well and truly settled in and it always seems ages to the next public holiday. This year it’s different. February has been fabulous so far! What am I grateful for this…
This being the NSW school holidays I took a week off to hang out with Mr15. We packed the car, added a school friend of his, put 3 bikes on the back and headed out on a road trip. First stop was a mountain bike track at Yellowmundee Regional Park near Springwood in the lower…
