Memories. Off to watch the boys at training and I was so lucky – an old Comeng pulled in to Flinders Street! I love these old trains and there are only a few still running and just my luck… I had never been on one with the new seats! Can you believe this many people…

#blogjune – Day 26 – Fireflies
On Thursday night as we were walking back from the subway I saw the most amazing sight – fireflies! A few of the big homes on our block have lovely front gardens and the fireflies looked like little drops of amber flickering in the dark. They are really beautiful and it was so dark I…
#blogjune – Day 25 – Farnham Meme
I’m inventing this meme as an excuse to watch John Farnham clips. I’m sharing my top 10 John Farnham songs (in no order) in honor of his latest comeback tour… I wish I was able to see him!! How good is his live?! 1. Love to Shine. I love this SO much. From Whispering Jack……
#blogjune – Day 24 – Cars 2 3D
HAPPY FRIDAY! Woohoo indeed! We raced out of work to make the 4.15 session of Cars 2 in 3D. I had not seen Cars itself and have never been to a 3D movie before, but I was trusting Bill’s judgement with his one and he was happy I had agreed to see a ‘Bill Movie’…
#blogjune – Day 23 – Feast of Corpus Christi
On Thursday night it was muggy and humid – it has been like that all week in the city. Foggy, stormy and sticky and by Thursday I was well and truly over it. We ended up heading to Holy Innocents Church on 38th Street for their Solemn Mass in the Extraordinary Form and Procession. In…
#blogjune – Day 22 – Who I know I am
My passion for genealogy started in 1991 when my cousin Grant and I spent a adrenaline fuelled day in the State Library of Victoria acting like crazies on a microfilm machine. This came to a head on Christmas Day in 2009 when I presented everyone with a 50 page book of the Cleary Family History….
#blogjune – Day 21 – Subway posters
I love looking at the posters that line subway stations. This is an example of a good subway poster… one promoting the Morgan Library and Museum, another one for an exhibition at the Whitney Museum and then a movie poster – But today… I got this – Scary clown faced man was looking straight at…
#blogjune – Day 20 – Presto Pesto!
If you are like me and love pesto sauce but hate the too-much-oil guilt factor then you just have to try this recipe from Weight Watchers for their version of pesto. I actually enjoy it more then regular pesto. For some reason it is a lot easier to eat and is perfect on anything and…
