Lunch companion in Mascot

We went looking for groceries and lunch.  Got more chicken and salad from Mascot kabob and Deli, same place we got dinner last night.  We are outside and had some company.   Google lens says it's an ibis.

Back to the US

Image
 After a 14-hour flight from roughly 10:30am Monday to 7am Monday, we are back in the US. Customs and agricultural screening were minimal. The light rail that goes through the airport also goes to our hotel, so that was easy. We got to the hotel by 8 and actually had a room by 9. We met Chas, had another breakfast, visited a garden he knew, and had lunch in the hotel. Chas in hotel room

Last full day in Sydney

Image
 We are pretty much touristed out. We are agreed that there is nothing remaining that we would be sorry not to have done. Train into the Blue Mountains? We've seen mountains, and it would take all day. Ferry from the harbor? Nowhere in particular we want to go. We walked/scooted extensively, checking out maybe 15 places to have lunch, and ended back at Friday's Pontoon. I had an Aussi Burger, Paula had a pumpkin & feta pizza with pine nuts and rocket (= arugula). The building I had been referring to as the "cheese grater" turns out to be the Sydney Conference Center. Sydney Conference Center After lunch, we came back to the apartment and took naps. Next: Dinner on assorted leftovers, packing, bed.

Day Before Yesterday, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

 I think I mentioned earlier that a bushing on the scooter came loose--one holding the seat in place, so it was no longer possible to pick up the scooter by the front shaft and the seat without pulling the seat loose. Paula found a video on how to repair it (epoxy). So I went--day before yesterday?--looking for epoxy. I stopped at a likely-looking store and asked the lady at the counter if they had any. They didn't, but she clearly knows the city very well, and drew a map for me to the nearest hardware store (a Mitre IO). Then I made a mistake. I entered the store into Google maps--okay so far--and tried to follow its directions. It seems Google maps has a (mostly) reasonable idea of where I am, but it was hallucinating pedestrian directions. I followed it as best I could for about 20 minutes (to a store that was 2 minutes away), gave up, located myself, and followed the saleslady's directions. Well, I got to see a lot more of the city than I would otherwise have. The epoxy wor...
