The strand arcade and The Marble Bar

This is the oldest cash regiester I think I have ever seen and very fancy it was to.

And a wooden lady I would love for my garden but maybe she wouldn't last too long in the wet .

Stairs to secret places

The strand arcade a very pretty place

We had afternoon tea in the QBE but had had a big lunch in the Strand Arcade so not to hungry so cutting the cakes in half and only had one serving, that was plenty.

I'm not sure why I took this photo .

This is The Marble Bar hard to take photos it is very dark no one there but us and a another couple I think they had just opened .

Wonderful paintings and lots of marble

This one is very a bit on the wonky side

 this is the front door and my mate taking a picture

We now have trams in the main street of downtown Sydney no cars anymore a few blokes wondering around trying to look important.

This guy was doing something,  the tramway has taken a long time to do and is well over budget, the tramway is now finished and now they are testing it for 3 months our state premier went on a ride the other day but it is not open to the public till christmas time why it requires so much testing I have no idea.

This was my ex work place  no longer a front door in the street all blocked off

And cranes in the front yard so maybe they are doing something with it as I know it was only rented when I worked there.

Winter will soon be over.

The sun shines and the days are sunny and warm for winter but come 4 o'clock it is freezing but I'm doing stuff in the garden while the heat lasts lots of the trees have died so it's clean up time.

This was dead moth vine and the bogie is shooting after the big cut back

Everything is covered with bird poo and pine needles the fairies are not happy

And Pidge and the beer fairy having a cuddle.

I've had a few fires burning off the dead leaves

I like taking pictures of the smoke

and it's warm

nice to sit and watch the flames

I done cardie's for the twins good knitting weather at night, unicorns for Clemie, and monster trucks for Wilbur..

Slowly getting the garden all tidy many dead leaves.

 Pidge has a new home he has been moving lots of twigs into the shed behind the doors stacked up across some boxes nice and warm and out of the wind but we can't shut the shed up as he comes and goes as he likes.

Here he is in his new bed.

This week.

A quite week not doing much, next week is busy with hospital visits with the beer fairy.

I finished these two pictures, they are only little so next week I will see about selling them, I don't like selling them but am running out of wall space I will take them over to the gallery and see how they go. 

These  look a bit on the angry side.

My kitchen not very big but I get tired walking around in some peoples. 

My morning spot for breakfast on sunny days.

I followed a big black bird up here this morning he disappeared into the greenery he seamed to have a wing problem, he has some wild bird mix and water so he can stay hidden till he is feeling better.

And a bath if he can climb up there.

Lots of coverage and protection from the wind.

To cold outside I'm inside today.

 I'm doing the inside today to cold outside at the moment maybe later when the sun comes out I will venture outside.

 Lovely fire but oh so messy.

 I'm minding Missie, Bow Peeps little dog for a few hours  he knows where to go get warm in the beer fairy's blanket and have a warm sleep  till his owner comes back

So I'm just taking some photos, I have lots of butterflies in odd parts of the house.

My reading room and the spare room very nice in here in the summer  lots of cool winds from the south not so good in winter.

all year lots of light.

My tiny bathroom no bath any more to hard to get in and out.
My corrinder lives here lots of light and gets watered often.

The other spare bedroom Boo peep has slept here a few years on week days but has now retired and moved to the farm he only visits now every few weeks.

It is now the office or painting and sewing room.

My bedroom.
