Photos Backing Up

I'd better post a few to clear the deck somewhat.

This is photo of the now flooded Hawkesbury River taken from the train as we descended to Hawkesbury River Station in Brooklyn. The weather was perfect when we visited. Not sure how I missed it, or maybe I didn't and it was not correctly filed later. 

Our visit to Sydney's Maroubra Beach was our last day and bright and early we caught the train from our hotel to the airport and were soon back to a freezing cold home. The tiled floors were icy as were the benchtops. My bedroom in the west wing was extra cold. It took ages to warm up. Some retro posters at our local Sydney station. 

I have coveted R's bedside lamp and clock since I bought it for him. I suggested the same for a birthday present for me, and it arrived rather early because it was on special.

R's is white, mine is black. I love it. 

Three levels of LED light from the touch button. The setting buttons are under the base, not so convenient. But who needs an alarm clock nowadays when phones do the job better than adequately. 

Note the neutral colour tones. This was the door and architrave on our floor painted bright white. Simply not on. The carpet is quite new. We weren't sure about it initially but we are used to it now.

I thought this was a camellia and the leaves really looked camellia like but Plant Snap tells me it is a hibiscus. I forget the variety. It seemed strange for a hibiscus to be in flower mid winter. The flower looked hibiscus like.

I would call these jonquils but perhaps they are daffodils. Splendid.

Just lovely. I hope my shadow doesn't look fat in this.
