The Festival

I got up there about 9.30am and there didn't seem to be a lot happening. Smaller than last year. I couldn't stay long as i had somewhere else to be. I hope everyone that went had a good time. At least the rain held off this year.

As i was leaving the performers were just setting up. Didn't get to see any of them this year.

Weather

Yesterday was so warm! I watched a softball game up at Glenmore Park. They don't have any shade there so I can see it being too hot later in the season. It was lovely yesterday. Of course the warm weather couldn't last, today it's raining. Not cold yet, but very raining.

Big bangs around here last night. Everyone thought it must be fire crackers. Hoping so at least. And the fire over in the reserve? Just over the hill so I couldn't see what was actually burning. It seemed quite big.

btw, I did get to the festival, heard a young woman with a remarkable voice singing on stage by herself. It was her last song of course, only got to hear part of one. Don't know her name but I hope she keeps going with her singing. Good voice, and doesn't just sing, she uses her voice.

The Coles in Ropes Crossing is open, just in case you hadn't noticed. There's been a few good specials.

Festivals and elections

See the Google News? Tregear Festival is on August 30, usual place, corner of Aurora and Wilkes. I usually get up there for it, usually manage to find something interesting. The other news item is the Blacktown Council election on September 13. Not half as interesting as the festival. Except for the info that there is 62 people running for 15 spots!! That's going to make voting ... ummm ... "oh great" was the comment I heard. Not as bad as Penrith: 83 for 15 spots. Gee. The festival is going to be a lot more fun!

Even the weather is more fun than that. Still cold in the mornings and if there's a breeze it's too cool without a jacket during the day. Light frost when I took the dog out this morning. Very clean air tho, smells very good the last few days. Except for St Marys station - one of the industrial places across the road was pumping out burnt plastic smell today. It's not as bad as the rotten onion body odour smell, but it's probably more toxic.
