Wot I did in Melbourne (by tigtog, age 45)

It was a work trip, reviewing comedy shows, so I was out every night doing exactly that.

Nabs will have to get me nissed as a pewt another time – maybe next year.

Taken yesterday at the Zig Zag heritage railway, near Lithgow, NSW. A gricer is a steam locomotive enthusiast, and my husband has been one since childhood. He got to ride on the footplate back up the mountain, so he won’t stop smiling about that for at least a week.

This shot was taken as they purged the boilers to get rid of waste sludge.

All these books were $1 or $2 from Elizabeth’s Books warehouse in Fremantle, which was the perfect opportunity to pick up a few classics that I’ve always meant to read as well as a few strays that caught my eye. Great for dipping into while on hols, especially for the 3-day train ride back home.
