Sydney - August 2026

 Nice rainbow!

One day I went for a drive to Buladelah, where we used to stop each year on our way to our family holiday in Forster. This bakery has been there since that time, some 45 years ago. I bought a sausage roll and a loaf of bread for old times' sake...

I then detoured to Tea Gardens where we used to have holidays with our kids and my parents. We used to stay here opposite the river, at The Boathouse Resort. Nice memories...

My Father taught Callum to fish here...

We would often go to the pub for dinner...

I continued home via Karuah, another stop with the family in the 70's...

One day I drove to Bronte to have lunch with an ex-colleague. Beautiful day...

One day while working at Umina, I went to the beach for a coffee. Still cold but sunny at least...

Nice moon again...

I'm cooking most nights at the moment. Cantonese style green beans...

Pad See Ew beef...

One day, I went to visit Alex at her work, TreeTops. I did the ziplines which was fun but climbing the ladders was less so :-)

Didn't love this bit either...

One day I went for a bush walk with Alex from Forresters Beach to Bateau Bay...

This guy was watching us...

Then we had a pie at the Forresters Beach bakery and this guy was watching us :-)

A rainbow this time looking the other way...

The weather has been cold but the days have generally been sunny. I went for a walk along the lake path one day...

My old mower needed a service so rather than spend the $200 for that, I bought an electric one...

Made sticky beef one night which was great...

And this fried rice was excellent...

Callum and Alex went skiing for a couple of days. I loaned Callum my favorite ski hat...

Having a coffee at the gym while waiting for my next class...
