My 64th birthday

Today was my 64th birthday. yes, I turned 64. I did not do anything special to celebrate. I just bought a bottle of red wine and had a pizza for dinner. I think that when you get to my age you really do not care much for birthdays.

Cooling off in Melbourne.

Today, the temperature in Bendigo was over 40.00 degrees Celsius for the second day in a row. So, I decided that a good way to beat the heat was to travel by nice air-conditioned train to Melbourne, where the temperature was a mid 29.00 degrees. It turned out to be a good way to get out of the heat. I mostly just window shopped while I was down there, but I took a few quite interesting photos with my cell phone. Enjoy.

My Christmas break for 2017 - 2018

I have just returned to Bendigo after spending 10 days in Sydney for the Christmas and New year holidays. To recap, I flew to Sydney on the 23rd December with Tiger Airlines, who were over an hour late taking off. I stayed with my brother Bill in his unit in Wollooware Bay. We had Christmas day there with my mother. During my time in Sydney, I spent time at Cronulla beach:
Visited my old school- St Patrick's College - Sutherland
Visited Manly Beach and
Attended the Hillsong Campus in Alexandria.
