Sea Pony

A few months ago I joked to SFL that the Sea Pony was the main reason I wanted to return to WoW. It’s a new pet, rarely fished up at a particular spot in the game.

It probably took me about 2 hours to fish the little bugger up πŸ™‚

Random Musings

Today is Bernards birthday, and we went to see War Horse. It’s a shmaltzy film about the brotherhood between a horse and a man. Although expertly dialed-in by Spielberg, we all found it quite enjoyable πŸ™‚

Later on we had a lovely meal of Chinese food.

For the rest of this post, some random images collected throughout the trip so far…

That sign is for a restaurant in Sydney. Look’s a bit dodgy doesn’t it?

Two different bread products. Note the last sentence on the rightmost one.

This is a child’s toy vehicle believe it or not! It’s about 4 foot tall in total.

The selection of fresh hound food in grocery stores is impressive. Some of it looks good enough for men.

Beautiful stencil graffiti seen in Mayfield.

I’ll keep you guessing about this last one πŸ™‚

Hot Hot Hot

That fellow is a three legged dog, who is probably called Dog-emi. The hand patting him is attached to SMC, and it was with she that I walked the entire Fernleigh Track from Kotara to Bellmont today.

It was very hot today, 37 actually, and the 20+ km walk took us about four hours. I had considered initially walking back again, but that was quickly dismissed as madness. Both Sue and I were well and truly knackered by the time we reached Belmont. A handy KFC provided lunch and a spot to recuperate while we waited for a lift πŸ™‚

That’s Sue! She’s exhausted!

And that’s me! I’m opening a 4711 refreshing towellete! Although it can’t really be seen in this shot, I was sweating like a dog πŸ™‚

As for the track, it’s very good and highly recommended (especially if the weather is cooler). The new section passes through a swamp and part of it is on a raised track above the water. On this particular leg we saw this fellow in a tree:

Look at him! A big goanna, about 1 m long. Everyone in Australia is quite used to these common guys (as once was I) but I find it quite novel now.

After getting back home I just lay around like a zombie for hours. The rest of the day was uneventful, filled with such curiosities as the following:

Yep, a peppermint Magnum. It was actually a bit too rich.

Lucky says “Goodnight”!
