Middle Head (the first half)

Since it was such a beautiful morning, I decided to go to Middle Head.
I cought a No. 257 bus and a No. 244 bus, then I arrived there at noon.

At first, I walked along Chowder Bay Road. I could see both North Head and South Head on my left. It is one of the most beautiful foreshore roads around Sydney Harbour. There were superb views through North Head to Rose Bay and Point Piper.

I saw a big ship entering the harbour. The ship went forward very slowly.

There were some of the historic gun emplacements.
I turned back the way I had come. Oberisk bay and Outer Middle Head was seen.

I didn't go down the stairs to Obelisk Beach because it was a nudist beach...


I went back to the place where I had started my walking and walked towards Middle Head along the fence of Military Reserve.
Then I walked on Old Fort Road.

At last...

I arrived at the tip of Outer Middle Head.
I was very excited because the views were so so beautiful.
I could see Manly on my left and Nielesen Park on and Shark Bay my right.
North Head and South Head could be seen ahead.
And there were some emplacements behind me.




I had lunch enjoying this view. I was so happy.


Then I walked on the track which led to Inner Middle Head.
Grotto Point and Dobroyd Head was seen. I'm going there next time.


I continued my walking.
Suddenly I saw a naked man on the track!!
（・o・）（・o・）（・o・）（・o・）
There was Cobbler's Beach under the track. I saw some naked men on the beach.
I didn't know that it was a nudist beach. I ran up the track so quickly.
I was very embarrassed to walk between two men who was walking both in front and in the rear of me. (Of course they put their clothes on.) 　￣□￣；）
I was relieved when I reached the Middle Head Oval.


The Spit Bridge could be seen on the other side of Middle Harbour.

Balmoral beach was also seen. I visited there in April.


I found a kookaburra on the field in the Middle Head Oval.

When I was taking a photo, an elder man talked to me.
We spoke about 30 minutes there. He was very friendly person.
He told me that a lot more birds had been seen when he was in his childhood.

I could speak with him by chance. Because tha kookaburra was there.
If there wasn't the bird, we probably passed each other without talking.

There was a bus stop in front of HMAS PENGUIN. I decided to walk more.
I walked along Middle Head Road. There was a walking track between Chowder Bay and Balmoral Beach.
I wanted to walk there when I went to Bradleys Head. I have already finished walking until Clifton Gardens. Therefore I thought I had to walk between Clifton Gardens to Balmoral.

At first, I had to choose between Balmoral and Chowders Bay.
I decided to walk to Balmoral first.
However I didn't know that it would become a long walking at the moment.

To be continued...

Justine, Sunce and Shrek

It was a cold windy day. But the clear blue sky was beautiful.
The Blue Mountains could be seen clearly from the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I had an English lesson at Justine's flat.
Today we studied about singular nouns and plural nouns.

1)Sometimes we use a plural noun for one thing that has two parts.
e.g.) jeans, pyjamas, glasses, scissors
Those are nice jeans. or That's a nice pair of jeans.
2)Some words ending in -s can be singular or prural.
e.g.) means, series, species
a species of bird or many species of bird
3)Some singular nouns are often used with a plural verb.
e.g.) company, family, government, staff, team
The government want to increase taxes.

Those rules are very tricky for me. Justine told me that you could say "The government is ..." but it wasn't really correct. She also told me that many people spoke incorrect English.
I told her that I learnt correct English now so if I heard "The company is ....", I could correct the mistake.


After the lesson, I went to Divna's house in a hurry.
I arrived there before dark, so I took Sunce for a walk.
When I showed him his lead, he suddenly started jumping and throwing himself at me.
Probably he hadn't expected to be able to go to the park today.
We went to the park where we used to walk in summer. He looked very happy.

I was so happy because it was one of my dreams to walk in the park with a lovely dog.
Divna comes home late and it gets dark early. Therefore she cannot take them to for a walk on weekdays recently.

It was such a good time to walk with him in the park. We went walk to the place where we could see the Sydney Harbour Bridge. I saw a beautiful sunset with him.



Since the sky was getting dark, we started going home.
We saw a big black dog near the Art Gellery NSW.

The dog was so big, but looked lovely. The dog had long hair and it was dark, so I couldn't see the dog's face. Sunce looked scared because the black dog was extremely big.


When we arrived at Divna's house, Missy was barking.
I didn't take her, because it was difficult for me to take two dogs for a walk.
And Missy is very small so she does't need so much exercise.

I left Divna's house and walk to the city.
When I was walking along Market Street, I saw a crowd of people.
There was Cameron Diaz in front of the State Theatre.
I couldn't see her face because she was having an interview for a long time. I could see just her back and Shrek.

Justine, Jude and the beach

It was such a beautiful day.


Justine, Jude and I went to Beach.
Justine and I went to her mother's house to pick up him.
He was waiting at the gate because he knew that he could go to the beach with Justine on Sundays. He looked very happy.


It was 3 p.m when we arrived the beach. There weren't so many people.

He was very excited and asked her to play with him.
But went swimming first, because it was late.


We changed clothes quickly (of cource on the beach), then dashed into the sea.
The water wasn't so cold but the sea was a little rough.
I was rolled in the wave several times and drank a lot of water from my nose.
But we enjoyed ourselves.


After that we got out of the sea and changed clothes.
Then we started swimming lesson but he couldn't swim today either.....


However he looked much better. He was getting used to the sea.


Other lovely dogs were also looked happy.


It was around 4 p.m. We said goodbye to the beach...



We started walking towards Edgecliff.
Then we stopped at an ice cream shop in Bondi Road.
Their ice cream was handmade and very good.
When we were walking near Bondi Junction, we saw beautiful sunset.


Then, we walked towards Justines flat. Jude looked happy because he found that he could stay her flat tonight.
We found a good sofa near Justine's flat. We saw many sofas on the street.
They were dumped by the resident. Most of them weren't very old.
Justine liked one of them. It was a dark green leather sofa. So we carried it into her flat.
Jude soon sat on the sofa. It might become his bed.
