Winter is here.
All this week, Sydney weather readers have been warning of a cold snap on Sunday this week (18 May 2008). Well, they were right.
It is, by Sydney standards, rather chilly this morning (currently 7 oC). This time yesterday it was 14 oC. We don't normally eat a cooked breakfast, but this sort of weather is a good excuse to fry up some bacon and eggs I reckon.

No comment.
They had this woman on TV this morning arguing that abstinence, even within marriage, is a key to greater intimacy and understanding in adult relationships.
Well, I'm pretty sure that's what she was on about. Her cross-eyed look totally spooked me and I couldn't stop laughing long enough to take her seriously.

Crystal clear...
....but very cold.
Midday in Sydney CBD and it's only just nudging 12 oC.
Nice day for a long walk.

Very ordinary cup of coffee.
...but an extraordinary caramel slice.

This is new.
Myer has a huge
Crumpler section on level 6 of their Sydney CBD store. I love Crumpler gear and the range on display is pretty impressive.

Going nowhere?
Something on level 5 is "stationary". I wonder if it's the stationery?

George Street, corner of Campbell Street.
Walking home from the CBD and enjoying the crisp winter-ish weather.

George Street, Haymarket
Yep, getting close to Chinatown. Can you tell? ;-)

Broadway.
The big intersection of Parramatta Road, Pitt Street, George Street and Regent Street. In the middle of the pic you can spot the transport interchange.

Henry Deane Plaza.
This complex is located next door to Central Station. The office blocks largely accommodate State Rail/Railcorp office staff.

Looking back over my shoulder.
Have walked a little further along Regent Street. That's Sydney Central
TAFE behind the transport interchange.
Sun 18 May, 2008 - 01:48:30 PM
Looking up from Regent Street.
More Railcorp/City Rail offices.

Redfern.
Almost half way home. Must keep walking.
(Taken on the corner of Redfern Street and Regent Street)

Arrrrgh! My eyes.
So. Much. Yellow.

Corner of McEvoy and Regent Streets, Waterloo.
The closed pub you can see on the corner is the Iron Duke. It was a victim of the
burst water main which saw Botany Road closed *FOR SIX WEEKS* while the various parties involved pointed fingers at each other in terms of who was responsible.

Something for nothing.
I'm guessing these plywood shipping crates would be good firewood?
(Botany Road, Waterloo - nearing the intersection with Bourke Street)

Anyone want a Mazda?
This is the holding yard for local car dealer,
John Newell Mazda (on Bourke Street, Waterloo). Must be a couple of hundred new cars sitting in here waiting to be adopted. I think this is the first time I've seen the main gate open.
Sun 18 May, 2008 - 02:28:19 PM
Almost home.
I need a cold drink ;-)
Sun 18 May, 2008 - 02:28:53 PM
I've earned this.
Now I'm home it's time for an icy cold glass of Coke Zero.
