My work meeting finished at 4pm. I still had minutes to type but was also due to meet a friend for dinner and the theatre at 6:30pm on the other side of The Bridge.
Anybody who lives in Sydney knows that trying to get across the Sydney Harbour Bridge by car into the city from 5pm onwards gobbles time. So I made the journey at 4 and typed the minutes here. A lovely way to end the work day.
Beautiful way to end the work day indeed, BB. What a beautiful view too, and hope you had a great time at the theater with your friend. Smart of you to not get stuck in traffic. When you can, you always avoid it 😀
We don’t get to enjoy our own cities enough, those of us who are in the rat race. 🙂
Hi BB. What a great way to end the day. I did the same thing yesterday…left work early, went to the gym, and continued to work later at home. It felt so good!
Hi Patti. It’s good to have the flexibility to be able to shuffle things to be able to go to the gym during the working day. 🙂
Haha, love your solution to the problem – though you’ve just confirmed once again why I’m glad I left Sydney, as beautiful as parts of it are.
It’s only getting worse in the Big Smoke. Glad I get to work from home and am not forced to go into the office most of the time. I’d be stark-raving mad.
Looking forward to seeing your fine city…ah but don’t plan on driving. 🙂 Enjoyed you photo.
When are you here, Charles? Let me know. And you’ve made the right decision not to drive!
Smart thinking, BB!
And what an inspiration spot to enjoy the minutes.
Work doesn’t seem so bad with such an outlook! 🙂
beautiful, relaxing – and so smart of you! Could that life preserver be the cherry on top? (Ho. You can’t imagine how long it took for me to think of the name for that round thing. I’m an inlander, after all.)
🙂 Ah, but the inlander knows the language of the forests and bushland. 🙂
a sweet and kind response, BB
You decided to be flexible, and cross that bridge when you came to it. Good for you! The lighted ring buoy is is a wonderful, almost symbolic, touch.
😀 Love your idiomatic perspective.
As a matter of interest, do you pronounce buoy booyee or boy?
In my college years, when I was a lifeguard and swimming instructor, I had an intimate relationship with that thing…tossing it, and teaching others how to toss it, so it didn’t hit the drowning victim on the head but still landed within his/her reach…we called it a ring boo-wee…:-)
You are full of surprises, Cynthia – a woman of a great many talents.
Boo-wee, that’s it. A very strange pronunciation to us non-American-English speakers

Great photo. I love Sydney 😀
Thanks. 🙂 Sydney has its moments, good and bad.
sounds like the best plan 😀
With wine 😉
Not sure how the minutes got typed with that view to distract!
And a glass of wine 🍷 in hand 😄
As long as it was one or two, or you might have ended up tiping the minnitch!
I will always LOVE Sydney. It has such a way about it. Hard to describe, but it will always be special to me.
It is a fabulous city, but I do long for a quieter life at times, Jo.
