Share Four Somethings - October

 

Where did this month go? I couldn't believe it was time to do this again when I saw someone else's post in a link up.

And yet here we are. As the song says 'The years start coming and they don't stop coming'. That wheel spins faster and faster.

Something I loved It's been a great month - fun meals out with friends - Grandfather was sensational, though I was a little melancholic (just a touch of nostalgia) as the last time I sat in that space was the closing service of Long Chim. However, great replacement. The food is 5 star. So flavoursome and delicious.

The new seasons of Diplomat and Slow Horses are making our nights at home fabulous too! 

I had low expectations of Sonny Fodera but I really got wrapped up in the high of the music and movement. So good for the soul!

Pub Choir is always uplifting and the song was more fun that I thought it would be. Just what we needed in these globally chaotic times. (Note I've linked a clip from the night before that's been put on the net. Will embed the official video once it comes out).

Something I learned We have a faux moon for a bit - an asteroid is circling in our orbit along with moon. It will move off in about 2083. So we have '2 moons' for awhile. A quasi moon as it's known.

Vegetarians skip this. Australia is the largest goat meat exporter, selling more than $350 million worth of product each year BUT we are one of the smallest producers of the meat as well. This is because Australians are least likely in the world to eat goat. We produce 44% of the world's global  goat meat exports. As an aside, pork is the globally most consumed meat (36%) which is interesting when you think of all the religions not allowed to eat it. So all this shows that while I'm a fan of statistics, the full story is in the details. You need the whole picture to get a proper understanding of the facts. And yes, I am talking about Immigration and LBGT issues (don't be tricked when hatefully people throw out random numbers as 'facts').

Something that went well I took my friends from the UK out on the most marvellous daytrip. We explored Sydney harbour and it really put on the most magnificent show! Full details in this post. It's really lovely to feel that pride in your home town and to be as enchanted as the visitors seeing it for the first time. I never cease to marvel at the beauty of parts of this city. It is glorious to have bushland, ocean and big city lights all in the same place!

Quick reminder for locals, the whales will be almost gone for the year so this is your last chance to catch the tail end of the migration for another year. Don't miss them!

Something I let go of  Every month I struggle to think of something for this section. I don't know if I hang on to too much or I let go of stuff without noticing. I suspect the former. So I guess I need to work on that. This morning, I had a sleep in. I decided I was rundown and as my friend was away, I let go of my Sunday walk. I ended up only getting an extra 15 minutes before I naturally woke up, but it still felt good. I will do some exercise later in the day for a change.

And so it goes.
