#orchidsbymc

Dropped my wife off at the station - she is still not ready to drive home after work. Went for a haircut - nitnhad one for a while. Got to say it is the worst haircut I have had in 60 years. Seems she

A shopping mission to start - Aldi specials to grab. Chose a shopping centre we thought would be quiet and good for breakfast. Got that wrong - seems that the mums choose to take their screaming kids to

A warmer day coming up. Chance to go back to check on the pink sun orchid I checked on Wednesday. My friend agreed to meet me - we have shared a lot of orchid sightings but never met face to face. We met

Wake to a much cooler day than yesterday. My friend had sent me photos of sun orchids from a track I do not often walk. Hazard reduction burns, track work and electricity pole replacement has trashed it.

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

Have a weekend on the South Coast planned. Change to the start - meet my wife in Chatswood - car packed. She had docs to drop off and is meeting friends for coffee. Got the car packed and found a free

Got moving early - get a train to walk a track in Ku-ring Gai Chase NP - looking for white fingers orchids and maybe a sun orchid. It is a bit cool for those to be open Chose not to do the bicycle thing

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
