Woke to a grey sky day with sun forecast later on. My wife headed out for a sewing session early. Was aiming for a quiet day - local walk vs trip to walk flat in the city. Knee is improving Did the local

Just had to get out the house - getting frustrated - too many things not working right and not in a place to do much about it. Got on a train to walk Ku-ring Gai Track. A walk in three parts - part one

Day started out with blue sky - forecast was for showers later. Best get moving to check on orchids. Track I want to walk is still closed - next week. Jumped in the car to walk Grosvenor Fire Trail in

Today is Father's Day here in Australia. We have a gathering happening at our house. My wife's son and grandson and some friends and their son. My job - cook two entrees and a mixed protein melange for

Got a hot day lining up - forecast is for 33C - not what one expects in the first week of September. My wife headed out to see her brother. I took the train to walk Mt Colah side of Ku-ring Gai Chase NP

Had an idea for the day to walk a track close to where we used to live - a few spring orchids the target. Took the car - not organised yet to do train bike - and it gives a chance to pop into a butcher

Got a warm day coming up. Warm for the start of September. Plan for the day is to find a track to walk and do some shopping. Picked a track in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP not often walked - looking for a few

Heading back to Sydney photos - Coolangatta Mountain. Looks like a resort place. It did start out as a caravan park - hence the nice pool. Now it is an over 55s place. Grandkids and a few oldies use the

Rainy start to the day. Checked the forecast - afternoon should be clearing. Did investing stuff - a lot to do after a bug options expiry. Walked down to Blackbutt Creek to check on twice orchids - first

A new week. Trying again to play pickleball Sydney side in the club I chose to join. 5 times played and 3 times came across players more keen to tell me what to do than play. Hopefully not this time -

A different start to a Saturday - walked up to the church for the fortnightly op shop sale. It is a busy gathering of bargain hunters. Not my idea of fun. We wandered into the centre for a cooked breakfast.

My wife headed out for her sewing session. Gave me the morning clear tinhead out for a walk. Was doing investing stuff - decided a blue sky day had to be used. Maybe a chance to find white fingers orchids

The sun came out. Did some laundry to use that time. Not organised enough time get out on the bike - not ridden in Sydney since November. All a function of living in a place that is not safe to cycle.

Wake to a damp morning. Chose to do a car shop-walk thing - take an umbrella. Headed out to Berowra Heights to see if there were any flying duck orchids open. They have been seen further up the coast Lots

Got moving early to pack for a drive down south. Enough time for coffee with a friend and a shopping stop in Chatswood to buy a Chinese cooked duck. Got to Shoalhaven Heads with time enough for fish and

A noisy start to the day. Some floor work going on above - a floor away. Getting.like my grandfather - cannot handle noise. He served 4 years in WWI trenches in Europe from 1914. He knew noise. Dragged

A new week. A new week a long way away from where I want to be. Took the only way I know how to address that - focus on what works - investing and then head out to walk in the sun. Forecast was all wrong
