Sydney Opera House Back to St.
Mary’s Cathedral
 After we had said our farewells to
Lesley, Nick, Charlotte and Sam we sat and watched the world go by and then
bimbled past the fountain along the way.
 We engaged in some window shopping. I
fell in love with a possum fur sleeveless cardigan in the Ugg shop [not one bit
practical to a yacht dweller, but I did stroke it lovingly] and Bear held
several articles such as cork screws, beer top openers and paperweights made
from the dangly bits of kangaroos, as you do. Next along was a shiny shop with a
definite male in the window.
   Street performers
from Los Angeles gathered quite a crowd as they danced, tumbled and
balanced.
 A brilliant living
statue had these little girls spellbound. Very clever.
 This very talented
artist has been working on this huge piece for eight hundred
hours.
 We had met number eleven in the
Botanical Garden, this was number thirty nine of the
white ibis sort.
 Happy Boy
with the Opera House over his right arm.
 I was made to
pose too.
  We sat and listened to the incredibly
talented Jack Dawson. First up was Bob Dylan’s Just
Like a Woman then he flipped his guitar and played it like a slide, tapped the
strings, hand-over fretting and numerous other things to make some great sounds.
Bear bought me his CD for five pounds, as a tree present.
  We bimbled toward the Rocks and stopped on the waterfront for a drink and to enjoy the
pre-Christmas atmosphere.
 This area is all about side streets
and cafes tucked along alleys.
   The street market had sadly closed
for a two week break but we spent time in the Information Centre and gathered
loads of pamphlets to study. Next stop was a tea shop that had the naughtiest
cakes ever – including meringue pie standing nine inches tall. Just a cup of tea
we had said firmly on the way in. I couldn’t resist the
banoffee pie, Bear had ice cream with caramel
sauce. Bear then insisted we get a taxi back to the cathedral, just
enough time to admire a cheeky reindeer in the pub
window next door.
 The tree as
we left the Cathedral. Merry Christmas everyone. xx xx
ALL IN ALL A CRACKING
DAY
