Afternoon at the ballet and dinner in the QVB.

On sunday the beer fair and I went into Sydney to the Capital theatre to a see the Russian ballet I asked my daughter if she wanted to go but she is very busy at the moment with the sale and moving into the new house. The beer fairy said he would like to go I was so surprised he never showed much interest in ballet and usually wondered outside when it was on TV.
It was wonderful there was humour, drama and beautiful dancing and we both enjoyed it very much,   there are no photos of the dancing but that was all the better without flashing lights all the time but we stayed in town for dinner and wondered around the Queen Victorian Building, this is in my opion the most beautiful shopping area in the world at least in Sydney although the Opera house is pretty good but is not as good inside.
So I took a few snaps to share with you.
The first one is the copper roof of the huge clock.

The stained glass is wonderful.

This little stairway always delights me the pictures are a bit blurry, this is the middle.

And as you can see it's always locked and you can't go up it.

The castle clock and top floor

The building is 3 stories high above ground and 1 story below, this was taken from the top floor not easy to do when you don't like heights, done quickly so it 's not too good but you get the idea.

The shops have a few christmas decorations but the main display has not been done yet.

This little dolls house comes with a fish tank (it's under the stairs) and a back yard and garden.

and a lighted pumpkin for the Americans.

And lots of pretend pups in a row, my old boss had one of these on her desk I  like the live ones best.

I don't know why the beer fairy looks so worried, I said stand there and look pretty and this is what I get but he was hungry by now.

The window on the other side

and the dome

This is the top of the stairs.

This is the grand clock on the hour it does amazing things.

The full clock

The queen herself

and the Town hall.
