Another Monday bits and bobs…

Posted on by TravellinPenguin

Today I went to the gym and as I rode the bus into town I had a lot of time to do some street photography. I’ll share the photos here towards the end of this post.

I have a busy week coming up. Tomorrow is my seniors dinner with a lovely group of people who love to chat and eat. That happens after my flu injection as we are very quickly moving into winter.

Wednesday our book group meets to discuss The Monk by Matthew Lewis written in 1797. I’m really looking forward to that. Such an unusual book but I really enjoyed it. I’ve never read anything like it

Thursday I’m going to a book launch of photography at Fullers book shop. It is all about dragonflies and damselflies. Did you know if you see a dragon fly on a piece of flora you can adjust your camera on it and even if it flies away it will return to that exact location several times?

Friday I’m going to the Theatre Royal with a friend to see The Trojan War. For a serious topic this will be anything but. Should be fun.

On the weekend I will be packing my camera gear and the winter woolies for a 3 day/2 night photography workshop at Mt Field National Park. We will be photographing waterfalls, fagus, fungi and who knows what else. Snow maybe as parts of it are at a higher elevation. I do hope it doesn’t rain. So walking around the bush in many layers with a tripod and my heavy gear on my back. Should be fun. Stay tuned for photos.

Thursday I am also getting my hearing assessed. It’s bad enough I’m down to one eye now but hopefully I won’t lose my ears yet. i get a bit of a laugh when I tell friends the inside of my body may be shot but the outside is still going really well.

I’ll end this missive with today’s photos. It was a lovely sunny day but is now 9 degrees C (about 48F).

Awwww…
Loved this shirt as I followed her.
I waited until he closed the book to see what he was so engrossed in. A very large fantasy novel.
Two friends visiting from out of town. Lovely girls and very chatty. They looked like twins.
I see this guy all the time in the mall. He loves to sit and watch people.
A very talented busker.
Tese guys are around a fair bit too.
I loved they stood below the colour sign. They were lots of fun to chat to. All smiles. Love the colours.
Just hanging out around the bus mall.

  1. That’s a beautiful t-shirt. I would just have a niggling fear that behind me was some woman’s violent partner BUT I love the intent.

    Great post. Too much to comment on. I’m interested that you’ve read The monk. What made your group choose that? Those Gothic novels can be full on.

    I look forward to the photos from Mount Field National Park. It’s a gorgeous place.

    Your pics of people are just beautiful.

    1. Thank you. Our Fullers guy picks our book group books. I don’t ask, I just read them 😄 I really enjoy reading the books I would never think to choose. Mt Field is gorgeous. I love it there. Thank you for the kind remarks re my street people. 🌻
