• Last hour of light

     

    “Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?”
    ― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

  • The Long Monday

    Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
    And I can’t help but ask myself how much I let the fear
    Take the wheel and steer
    It’s driven me before
    And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
    But lately I’m beginning to find that I
    Should be the one behind the wheel

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    I’ll be there

    So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
    Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
    It’s driven me before
    And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
    But lately I’m beginning to find that
    When I drive myself my light is found

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    I’ll be there

    Would you choose water over wine
    Hold the wheel and drive

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    With open arms and open eyes yeah

    Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there
    I’ll be there

  • melting clifsAfter several planned things didn’t go to plan this morning, it was time to get out of the house and get some fresh air.

    Venturing down to the bottom of Beach Haven on the North Shore, we visited Tui Park. A short winding path takes one down to the seashore. A small beach soon turned to mud once one walked around the corner. Looking up at the almost martian red cliffs, its no surprise a lot of the North Shore has eroding cliffs. The soft sandstone mix can be seen in todays image quite literally running down in orange streams of mud.

  • At the Door

    Whence is that knocking?
    How is ’t with me when every noise appals me?
    What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes.
    Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood
    Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
    The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
    Making the green one red.
    Macbeth – Shakespeare
  • Dinner at TonysMeeting friends we dined out at Tony’s on Wellesley in the CBD. A great dark environment with various relic props from days of old. So many options for what to eat, and upon ordering, everyones meals looked tasty!

    Interestingly (perhaps due to their operating timeline), the placemats were full of 1963 facts:

    • The year of JFK Assassination
    • The first Bond film released
    • The first year for the Dr Who series
    • Johnny Depp’s year of birth
    • Alcatraez closes
