Water in Paddington

Well, I stayed back at work later that I normally do. On leaving I saw that there were lots of cars in the back streets between Moore Park Road and Oxford Street. I decided to ride down the hill form Oxford Street to Moore Park Road, fully expecting the latter to be closed, but curious as to why. When I got down there, sure enough there was a police blockade. So down a back lane to the side of Victoria Barracks. Again the road was closed, this time by the fire brigade. Though on this occasion they may have been better called the water brigade. I had to laugh. The man beside me on a mobile did not think it was funny. He lived 4 houses up on the blocked off street. I took some pictures and headed back up the hill. Followed the massive traffic jam down OxfordStreet and then up the other side of the barracks on the bike track. I was able to turn right on the bike path where the cars can only turn left. As this was now a little up the other side of the hill, I missed the water which I guess was heading off down the side of the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Jenolan Caves

Well, I headed up to the Blue Mountains again. I met Kirsten, Krysta and Therese at Leura. We headed to Katoomba for breakfast and then headed down to the Jenolan Caves. We went to the Imperial Cave and then had lunch. In the cave we managed to catch up with the group before and had to be rescued by our own group. I guess it is harder to keep a track when you are also keeping track of the kids. We were disrupted at lunch by a false fire alarm, in the midst of a shower of rain. One man did not want to evacuate. He thought it was all a joke to make him look like a fool. I felt sorry for the staff. After this we wandered over to the lake, but the platypus were not to be seen and then we did a little walk before heading home.

MSG Dinner – Una’s

Well I have walked past many times, but always in the morning when I used to catch the train to Kings Cross and walk up from there to Paddington. We had our MSG dinner at Una‘s. We had to wait ages for everyone to arrive, but when we did order it seemed like seconds before we had the meals on the table. I has the Kessler, a dish with sauerkraut, potato rosti,  and boiled and smoked ham. The serving was huge, but the dish was acceptable and bland. I also had the blue wine (they called it gluewine) and it was brilliant. It was the best I have had since I was in Germany in december 1987, and immediately reminded me of the night markets, with snow on the ground, negative temperatures and a plastic cup of blue wine in one hand and a slice of bread with raw meat (beef tartar) in the other.
