Sydney – Day 4

Posted: September 10, 2025 in Uncategorized

Well the bed sheets were certainly a mess this morning. Must have been rehearsing the wash and spin cycle before the Big Event today. It’s dark at 4:30 am – Yay – so let’s flush the nose and then check out BOM. Armageddon approaching but I see a couple of gaps surely.

Time then to head down to laundry having already acquired the necessary coinage – what, is Clinton still President ? #Platonic. The soap dispenser was not easy – ok easy to take your money, hard to grab the box of detergent . Do like my washing machines like my coffee – Industrial Strength . Only 2 machines (research again) suggested a 530 am assault could be wise. Now for the coffee 100 m away in light drizzle. Nice enough Albanian serving me . “Do you serve Cortado “ What is that ? “Well it’s a Spanish coffee that is a bit like…..” . We are in Australia. WTF did you just say Agon ? I had the Campos Flat White and it was fine but I won’t be back Again Agon 😏

Today is going to take some planning and a sprinkle of luck. Plenty of Breakky options onsite and of course Irish Bar from midday also on site. Does leave a long morning though after I have folded my clothes and checked sock count. Do like some exercise to prime the machine for shenanigans that invariably ensue.

Washing completed so dropped by reception to get my medal. Spoke to my honeybuns – mostly about my washing success to be fair – and then headed out in light rain to Bomonti 100 m up the road with no umbrella or jacket ! Not my smartest move but in comparison seemed quite clever compared to decision to order two serves of toast after being informed they were small serves. 🤦🏻‍♂️ 4 slices of Yummo Turkish but only 2 butter and one jam. Smells like the old One Jam Shim Sham to me.

Weather starting to cool down at least which is something. Now that 3.5 hr wait until pub opens.

I watched one show but really don’t come to Sydney to watch TV. I go to Melboring for that 🥸 Decided to brave the rain but really was miserable out there. Here is one I prepared earlier . Look like Wednesday on a Wednesday if you Lurch to one side . Spooky

Well that didn’t work, wonder what gym set up like? Called ahead to clear place out and it was perfectly acceptable . Really piddling down now but can still see Paris. Sweet

The shower was a religious experience , the “unheated pool” more a hellish one. It may be a Lap pool but feels more like a Snap pool now if ya follow me 🧊🧊. Still certainly feel refreshed and two stone lighter .
Now next big decision is at Irish Bar do I go with my fave Guinness Pie or take up the Wednesday special of Porter and Pie for $28. Well, I am a pensioner. And I am no weather expert – who is 😏 – but looks to me like this weather system may be passing through quicker than forecast 🤔 Or at least south of CBD.

Certainly good value for $28. I seem to be following steak specials around . Does leave a bit of a long afternoon ahead as certainly full a la goog at present. I am, as always, prepared for lousy weather this arvo

Well Lordy Lordy the bureau was right. Shocked I tell ya. But kinda suspecting it. Plan Pringle activated

Only people more shocked today were the Trumpettes…… and it’s Goodnight from him
