This morning I had another free morning, like last week, because my wife too Scully to work and I’d done my ethics lesson plan. The weather was glum and cold, and I decided to take a drive out to South Head and do a bit of walking around there.
It wasn’t rainy when I departed, but by the time I got there there was squally light rain. I drove around some back streets for a bit, hoping the rain would pass. It got a bit lighter and I found a car park near the National Park to set out on the short walking track to Hornby Lighthouse.
I started at Camp Cove:
Canons were placed here to defend Sydney Harbour from attacking ships. Some of them are still here.
The rain sputtered out and I got a half decent view across the harbour towards the city:
I saw this magnificent red gum tree, the colours of the bark enhanced by the rain:
Before the lighthouse was the old lighthouse keeper’s cottage:
And then the lighthouse itself:
After returning to the car I found a cafe not far away to have an early lunch. And then I looked for a bakery to find something sweet to have after that, and found a place called Lil’ Mix in Rose Bay. They had amazing looking cookies and I bought three of the different flavours, plus a Jerusalem bagel which I took back to my wife’s work to give her for a surprise lunch treat when I picked up Scully.
I’ve just had the chocolate and salted caramel cookie and it was amazing…
This afternoon I rested up a bit before tonight’s ethics class. I made okonomiyaki for dinner.
