Downtown in Darby Street Newcastle at the Depot

Another very busy day after the lambs fry at the RSL club last night and a good sleep, I was up early in the neighbour's car to arrive in Newcastle to meet Helen at ten o'clock at the Depot Café - see photo.

A very nice 'toastie', and time to ruminate over my visit with B, and Helen arrives on time. A lot to talk about as she is planning soon to retire to Glen Innes where I thought she would eventually go.  She brings me up to date with all Newcastle's goings on and I feel one day when the time is right I could return to this neck of the woods. There is enough going on here to keep me happy and there is doubtless a lot of ECK work that needs to be done here. Perhaps in two years to begin my seventh twelve year cycle might be when I am needed to be here.

Ruining Jim and Sue's fabulous homeat Hunters Hill

Still prevaricating Tony Abbott....

Callas still The One!

A film to see, or not to see?That is the question.

A meditative Helen...

...and a smiling one!

After a very positive beginning to the day I am now on to the next rendezvous to meet Cherel at my favourite Gnostic Café at Woy Woy before spending the night at Malcolm and Dean's on the bay.
