My body is still on Australia time because I haven’t slept since I left there 39 hours ago or so. I wasn’t sure that TangerineRose wanted me to survive my recent visit with her in Sydney. We started out with climbing the Harbour Bridge. Then we took a ferry ride to these cliffs that had less of a barrier than the Bridge had. Then she started taking me to dark alleys in a seedy section of town. She kept putting me at risk…and I loved every moment of it. Thank you so much for making my Sydney time memorable. Thanks too for the vegemite even though I told you I didn’t care for it. You deserve a wonderful birthday week, and I hope our African dinner was just the beginning of it. Here are my wishes for you for the coming year:
May you actually go on that bush walk and while you’re out there, plant a tree (preferably with a good water source and nutrition so it will live beyond you). May you find the focus you need to make the time to finish another sewing project. And may you have fewer things that nag at you to complete by actually completing them before they become naggers.

Besides climbing to the top of Sydney’s Harbour Bridge, I took advantage of its proximity and ran across it twice. It’s a lovely run with a bit of an incline/decline but nothing too difficult. Lots of people were running it and we sometimes had to weave around walkers and gawkers. You would think that after the first runner squeezed past them they would realize they shouldn’t be walking 3-4 across.
I also ran through the botanical gardens in Sydney as well, taking advantage of a nice day to do some sightseeing while also running.
