I never cease to amaze myself! Some of today's pics are actually my own, as Philip has finally up/downloaded (I will never understand which is which) Picasa on this new computer so I no longer have to content myself with web photos (even though they were all terrific shots). The thing that is amazing is that I accidentally discovered all I have to do to get the photo into the blog is make one click! Previously I'd been saving each photo to a file, then fiddling round making about 20 clicks to get it in.
Today I went on another one of my suburb adventures, to Randwick, with a friend who showed me over the property where she was brought up as a child. She is a member of Australia's leading bloodstock auctioneer family. Took my breath away!

Oh darn! My clever discovery doesn't work for any further photos - they automatically go into new blogs, so I've had to go through all the old rigmarole after all to get some more in.
The first two shots show the interior and exterior of the auction room, where zillions of dollars worth of horse flesh is traded several times a year. They have another place in Melbourne as well.
This, of course, is the house (where my friend's aunt and cousin and family now live).
I am such a stickybeak - now look what I found online!
And this is the fig tree that the aunt and her husband planted on their wedding day.
Here's a pic from the web of an auction in progress:
I've had a break from the blog for a few days to get over the shock of the tragedy in Norway and then all the excitement of Cadel Evans winning the Tour de France. Not that I'm particularly interested in sport, but by golly, this was some effort and I admire him tremendously. And before that there was the James and Rupert Show, which I sat up all night to watch. Life certainly is not dull.
Winifred, it seems you are the only one to be brave enough to make comments. Where is everybody else????????

I don't know where they are Diane, perhaps they're hiding from the rain
or relaxing in faraway places with strange sounding names!
