Sunday Diary


BRY ANTICS
November 1st


This has been a disjointed week and this diary will be a little odd as a result. On MONDAY we had a craft show at my Probus Club and on FRIDAY we had a dress rehearsal for 'Jewelled Jeopardy'.

ADVENTURE
But in between Malcolm and I had a short break up in the Blue Mountains. The 'short break' proved to be shorter than we'd intended because the weather was against us. It has been wonderful to see good rains across the state, but mist and drizzle spoil a scenic trip, and we decided to come home a day early. Even so, I managed to take a few photos during a brief break in the weather. I'm going to attempt to 'cover' all next week's memes in this one diary! I wonder if I'll succeed.


This was the weather when we arrived! I took this through the fly-screens in our hotel bedroom.
for
Watery Wednesday.



This is a map of the World Heritage area we had hoped to see more of!
for
Think Green Thursday


We caught a cheerful ex-London double-decker bus around the place. This was a poster.
for
Ruby Tuesday


En route I was able to find some colourful items to fit the bill.



Blue
for
Blue Monday



Yellow

Multicolours

I even found a tiny bit of movement as a man in a silver hat greeted us!



A silver salute

The next day dawned pale but sunny and we managed to get among the crags.

Then we went home.

On SATURDAY I rounded off the week with a birthday lunch for friend, Pam, and an afternoon classical concert.
Till next week,
Brenda

    I often see additions to many photo memes when I go places, and it is even better when I have the camera. It is fun to see a photo blog in any subject...

    The shadowy view above the forests is great, just looking at the shadow shape I see a lizard - shadows can make the imagination work overtime!

    You two look to be having fun traveling together...

    What a great collection, I think you did manage to make all the memes fit your diary.
    To bad the rain kept you from all you wanted to do but not sorry it rained. It will take a while to recover from the dought if nature allows.
