Photos of Sydney

Here at last are some pictures from Sydney. These beautiful swans successfully raised a family of five cygnets to adulthood in a park in a shallow lake.





The far left is a picture of Sydney, and the left one is myself.

Today is Sorry Day when the government finally apologizes to the aboriginal community. About time, ay? When we arrived at school they were already watching the speach from Parliament House in Canberra. We went in and got most of it. Then a local person got up and talked. The Chanel 9 crew was there and two other sets of cameras, but I don't know who. It is always interesting in Sydney. I took some photos, they are still in my camera and I will put them up tonight if I can.

Yesterday, a shopping centre I usually go to for a cup of tea had a fire, but I was in town , so I missed all the fun! They wait till I'm not there, but lucky, as I get asthma. Even a few hours later, there was a dreadful pong in the air. Today only half the shops were open, but I was able to get a cup of tea!

WELCOME

Welcome to Fi's blogspot. Yes, it's all here: who I am and what I'm doing.

I am in Sydney. That is not the capital of Australia, it's just the largest city.

I can't have a pet where I am, so there are no domestic animasl in my place. I could have plants, but until I am more settled, I won't.

It is great to see all the landmarks and old buildings. I spend a lot of my time in an old suburb that is part of the City of Sydney and not greater metropolitan. I would live there, but the closer in to the CBD the more expensive it becomes.

I will add photos over the next few days when I muck around with this picasa program.
