Mirror, mirror on the wall but the mirror spake not at all


The show must go on, the opera house is still afloat















The famous Sydney coathanger.

    Thanks for the tour. I wonder if I'll ever get to see Sidney except n pictures. Until then, I'll keep blogging. ;-)

    Willow,
    most observant Willow how can I deny what is...A gently smiling, white haired age yes, ths's me.

    Beautiful Ginger Pussy Cat,
    I have a a seed of a blog about Sydney thinking about germinating in my breast, but it's some way off yet.

    Pamela dear ,
    I don't know how to say this with Edward present, we have terrible quarantine restrictions! I know he, and you would enjoy this lovely harbour ciry immensely. It's hilly, and the harbur and coves are spectacular. In many ways much more so than San Francisco. Also being blessed with old suburbs of terrace houses with cast iron lace work. Do put it on your list.

    I would so love to visit Sidney and what a long air flight it would be. I love the photos especially the gargoyle..

    Michelle,
    not an iota longer than Syfney to you. If I could fly from here to Montreal, I'm sure you could make it too. Sydney reallyis a charming city, even more scenically placed than Fan Francisco with some loely late 18th & 19th century architecture.

    Gwen,
    You've spotted the culprit, lille old moi indeed. You may have noticed, the mirror was struck dumb.
