In preparation for my solo train trip to the city for an appointment on Monday, I did a trial run last Friday and ended up going to the Queensland Museum alone! This is my post for Outdoor Wednesday which I do every week to motivate me to post something about getting out of the house. Included are some images of my beautiful potted lavender which I'm so happy is flowering at the moment.It was my first trip alone using the Go Card. As I left the station at South Brisbane, the station attendant looked at me so I asked her if I did the card thing right. Well, that was a mistake! I thought I did it wrong so touched on again, then she exclaimed 'don't do that!' I told her I was new and didn't know how to use the thing so she helped me to the machine to clear the second touch on. Luckily, I found it funny, LOL!
Travelling on the train was fun, I used to do it all the time when I first got to Brisbane years ago, now I'm really wondering why I haven't been doing it these last couple of years? I thought to take myself to the art gallery but they were closed, and the museum wouldn't open for another half hour so I went to a cafe, got a cappucino and rang David on my new phone while I waited. I spent about an hour in the museum, its fairly small but still good, and because it didn't cost me anything, I bought a little specialist book on local birds. Because no pets are allowed on our complex, lots of different birds visit our garden and I've started looking up which ones they are and thought this book would be handy.Thanks for listening <3 <3 <3
You lavender looks lovely! I cannot even imagine how confusing it would be to use the train. I have not lived in an area where they have trains. Glad you had a good day. Bird watching is so much fun.
