Rockhampton Garratt Shed 15.9.67 Rockhampton was famous for its roundhouse but also possessed a separate shed to house Garratt engines. Recently out-shopped N° 1095 is high lighted by the other engines’ grimy condition. The fresh supply of light up timber stacked at the left indicates that there was still work for the Beyer Garratts although their time was running out. The coal stage and loco water tanks are at the right. The height of the tank was to supply water pressure for boiler washouts.

Apparently this is anothe quirk of mine. Hubby says that he often comes up and I'm sleeping like this. Isn't that funny? I do lay like that sometimes, but I still don't think I sleep like that!

Journaling reads:
"I am not even close to being a perfect person. I've got LOTS of little quirks that make me unique. Some of them are quite random...I think they make me perfectly imperfect! I do NOT like my food to touch on my plate-in fact, whenever possible I use multiple plates. There are separate spots in my tomach for each item. I ALWAYS have extra hairties around my wrists-usually black ones. Asymmetrical things bother me...but I love odd numbers. I despise avacados but LOVE guacamole. I wear flip flops all year long-I live in Ohio. I am seriously C-D-O - that's OCD, but I put the letters in alphabetical order like they should be. I text a lot but I NEVER abbreviate words. I have to hold my pen a certain way and usually make a little squiggle before I start writing. I've worn an apron in EVERY job I've ever had. I lock my car doors as soon as I get in because I'm afraid of falling out. I have three alarms and three reminders set for events & wake ups. My dream job would be naming new colors of paint or crayons. I randomly get a southern accent. Little quirks-little pieces of me. Documented : February 20 . 2011"
