      Been working on new things this winter,  one being learning how to spray properly.

        I was summoned up to Sydney for a short contract last week. I'm likely to be working Saturdays for the next couple of weeks, but had today off, and got to play tourist.

        This is Circular Quay. The Harbour Bridge is just behind the cruise liner (the Maasdam).

        An Ibis scrounging for food at Circular Quay.

        The Fortune of War claims to be the oldest pub in Sydney, and is on what was probably originally the quayside. There's an establishment with a similar name in Brighton (England), which led me to the idea that they were the McDonalds of the Georgian era. 😛

        The Lord Nelson Hotel. I stayed there six or seven years ago, on my second trip to Australia. It's in The Rocks, which is rather like a chunk of Whitby that's been dropped into the middle of Sydney.

        I caught the ferry over to Manly, and visited the famous beach.

        Naturally, I had to take a selfie showing my @Papa Nui hat off in its natural environment. If you join the Beach Battalion, you get posted to the best locations. 😃

        Manly is on a peninsula at the northern side of the entrance to Sydney's harbour. So the beach is onto the ocean, whilst the other side faces onto inshore waters.

        There are footpaths running along the shore from Manly, through Fairlight, and on to Clontarf. These go through bushland nature reserves, and it's all quite pretty.

        This is an Eastern Water Dragon.

        A fern beside the path.

        And an inlet just as I approached Clontarf.

          Brilliant quote.
          A close friend of mine DJs at the one in Brighton. I'll mention your theory.

                    How long do you have to wait from today?

                      Strictly speaking it does peak over the the theoretical horizon for a couple of hours a day already. Problem is because of the position of the mountains you can't see it where I live unless you take a boat out of the fjørd and onto the open sea to get a clear look.

                          sounds like my spiritual home but for all that damn sunlight in June 😃

                          Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                          Well, I have others.

                            All of it!

                            It pretty much doesn't get dark from the start of May until the middle of August. The sun doesn't go down at all for about 3 weeks each side of midsummer.

                                      Made it up to Lexington for the weekend to watch Kentucky sadly lose to Kansas.
                                      Got to go with my dad who's a huge UK fan and also got to see my grandparents who I hadn't seen in maybe five years. We had great seats (center court, 8 rows off the floor) and had fun even though they lost.
                                      Plus I got to wear my IHSH-131-BC because it almost perfectly matches Kentucky colors!

                                        For the past….many days. Been working on learning laying paint via gun and compressor. Latest piece is my tank console on the Indian. I wanted a slight texture with a satin finish. Finally got it perfect. Just have a few more days till I will reassemble the pieces.

                                          @Broark  it would be great to be one of the 2400 plus a Rub Arena. To see a UK basketball game.
