Today was pleasant and sunny so I went to the Rocks and the Quay. The jacarandas are in bloom so I spent some time with them drinking lemon sencha tea as I couldn't lay my hands on lavender tea.

Walking back, there were a band playing on Pitt Street Mall (above). They seemed to be enjoying themselves and in fact were pretty good and had a sizeable crowd listening to them.
The lemon sencha and a cool afternoon also allowed me a leisurely read of the newspapers. I am afraid I laughed immoderately when I read Richard Glover's account of a Keating day (read only if familiar with Oz politics and Keating's massive ego). The laugh scared away the pigeons but the seagulls are built of sterner stuff and hung around. Also noted that the indefatigable Don Watson (previously speechwriter to Keating) is continuing his assault on weaselly management speak. Much needed when even shootings happen in a Soldier Readiness Centre.
