Four hours later and who'd have thought.

Make room, make room!

Today I have decided to bite the bullet and attempt the impossible and get both cars into the garage. Parking in the street is impossible as there are so many restrictions, and because we have 'two' car spaces we don't qualify for a resident's parking sticker. Parking in the visitors' spots seems to arouse the ire of the neighbours, so here we go. This is what it looks like now. Wish us luck

Life's little mysteries

Pommygran8 and I enjoy the walk for coffee every morning and has become quite a ritual now. On the way we pass the local Salvo's store which we must have a look around. That's where a lot of the costumes for the Bash are found and altered. I enjoy reading and there are definite bargains to be had there for books, if you have the patience to search through, as they are never categorized . It was a surprise therefore to see that out of the entropy, some sort of order had been established. Here is the photograph. I suppose it makes it easier to find a book to match your outfit. I believe the manager is considering selling the new system to the library. It would certainly brighten things up a little.



Another mystery is the appearance of pairs of runners thrown over the power lines on the corner of the street. Today there were three pairs. If anyone knows the significance of this I would love to know.

I have just put together this clip which I took at the recent Variety Children's Party. I hope you like it as much as I do. Just seeing the smiles on the faces of these special children is so heart-warming.

Variety Christmas Party

Yesterday I helped with the annual Variety Children's Christmas Party at the Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour in Sydney. There Were over 5,000 disabled and disadvantaged children and there carers there. It always is an emotional time, seeing wheelchair-bound children with huge grins on their faces. One of the highlights for me were the wheelchair swings where children and their wheelchairs can experience what we take for granted, the sensation of swinging. This is another example of what can be done when people think about access, inclusion and safety.
