A Journal to impart knowledge and facts
July 22, 2015

I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.

I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.

I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.

This book is a Hoot!



I'm never happy in the middle of any city in a building that soars into the air. The Grace Hotel had all the luxury anyone could need and the rooms were comfortable. There was one time in the evening when there was a ruckus in the hall but I heard a floor manager talking to the loud people and it soon quieted down. I used the Wifi to catch up on email and check out news around the world. Sleeping long and peacefully was a real happiness.

Sydney Opera House was a very educational tour. Since I've never been to NYC, this has to be the best scene of performing in a large theater that I have ever experienced. The breakfast was spectacular. The taste of those pastries will linger for a long time.

I can do this Bridge walk. I walk about 4 to 5000 steps per day so the approximate 1400 will be easy peasy. The height is a beautiful way to have a good view of this part of Sydney. It was like walking among the clouds, with fresh air.

By the time we reached the botanical gardens, strolling trough the gardens was so peaceful. I found a Southern Magnolia from the USA among the many blooming plants.

Christmas in Aussieland is a gift for this year.
