The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen - stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists - in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated.
Over many decades, change saw the concert hall become the city library, offices proliferate and more tenants move in, including piano tuners, palmists and clairvoyants. Drastic 'remodelling' occurred during the austere 1930s and the main occupant was the Sydney City Council. As recently as 1959 the Queen Victoria Building was threatened with demolition. As it stands now, in all its glory. It is testimony to the original vision for the building and the superb craftsmanship of the artisans who put it all back together again.
The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building.
The visual message of Sydney's coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship - trade, and the dolphins - the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB.
The symbols are of property developers - the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria's statue.

29th April 1942
29th April, 1942 (at night). Norwich was still in the first stage of its efforts towards restoring some sort of order after the sharp attack made by the enemy during the night of the 27th when on the Wednesday it was again the target for a reprisal raid.
This time the people were ready for it, and practically every family went under cover. Anderson, Morrison and street shelters must have saved the lives of hundreds of the inhabitants of working and middle-class houses during the re-enactment of Monday night's scenes in different parts of the city. Incendiaries caused much of the damage - one of the largest areas affected in this manner incorporating Curls' department store at Orford Place, and both sides of Rampant Horse Street as far as but not including St Stephen's Church.
Part of St Stephen's Street with the famous old Boar's Head inn, Barwell's, Peacock's, and beyond that several of the large factory buildings of Caley's were also involved.
During this, the second heavy attack on Norwich, it was estimated that 45 tons of bombs were dropped, including 112 high explosives and numerous incendiaries. The death-roll amounted to 69 and there were 89 seriously injured. Public funerals of many of the victims of both raids took place at the Norwich Cemetery on the 4th, 5th and 7th of May. The Bishop of Norwich, the Dean, the Lord Mayor and other notabilities attended the first of these ceremonies, and the address was given by Dr Gilbert Laws of St Mary's Baptist Church.

Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) Sarbi, affectionately named “The Wonder Dog” enjoys a run in the exercise yard at her temporary home in Dubai.
Sarbi, the Australian Special Forces Explosive Detection dog (EDD) was on her second tour of duty in Afghanistan when she went missing for 14 months after she was separated from her handler in Afghanistan.
A rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) had exploded close to Sarbi during a battle with the Taliban that left nine soldiers wounded, including her handler. It was the same battle where Trooper Mark Donaldson earned his Victoria Cross.
Sarbi has been in the UAE since June 2010 and is residing in a facility in Dubai to prepare her in accordance with Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service import conditions. Sarbi is in good health and has her own enclosure, continued access to veterinary staff and a regular exercise program.
Sarbi will be returned to the Incident Response Regiment where she will continue her training and assessment for further employment as an Explosives Detection Dog.

The Grieving Pastor
Adam Clayton Powell Jr., writing in the November 1951 issue of Ebony, recounted the story of an unidentified black pastor's grief at the death of his black, handsome, talented young male assistant. Describing the funeral, Powell stressed the preacher's quavering voice, his tear-soaked eyes, his shaking body, and his attempt to leap into the grave with the coffin:
The minister's broken sobs sounded as if they had been wrung from the tragedy-twisted heart of one who has lost his lover,..... the two had been sharing an unnatural relationship for a number of years. The entire congregation knew about it. The whole community knew about it--and yet, that minister was and is today one of the most powerful and 'respected' Negro pastors in all America.
Affectionately known as the Batmobile on account of its oversized rear spoiler the 1973 BMW 3.0 CSL Race Car certainly turned heads on 1970's touring car circuits. For a vehicle never officially sold in the States Hot Wheels have done a magnificent job in not only choosing this vehicle to model but also doing it in a very pleasing manner. All the original vehicles styling attributes are there including that extremely razor edged nose and delicate rear light clusters nicely finished off with plastic lenses integrated into the glazing and a truly inspired Castrol themed racing livery. Bought from Sainsbury's back in May 2016. Mint and boxed.

Australia's most iconic bridge - affectionately known as the 'Coat Hanger' - crossing Sydney Harbour, by night.
Construction of the 'All Australian Bridge' began in 1924, by which time the local ferries were carrying 40 million passengers a year. The design came from British firm Dorman, Long & Co, but Australian steel, stone, sand and labour was used to construct it.
The project involved 1400 workers, 16 of whom died during the job, and and took eight years to complete. The bridge finally opened in 1932. The ceremony was interrupted by a lone horseman - disaffected Irishman Francis de Groot - who slashed the ribbon with his sword in the name of "The King and all the decent citizens of New South Wales." His paramilitary organisation, the New Guard, resented the fact that a representative of the British King hadn't been asked to open the bridge, the Labour Premier of New South Wales, Jack Lang, performing the duties instead. The ribbon was hastily retied, the ceremony continued, and de Groot was later fined the grand total of £5. However, he's much better remembered than Jack Lang though, as a result of his actions.
The bridge stands 134 metres (440 feet) high and stretches 1149 metres (3770 feet) in length, making it the largest single-span bridge in the world when it was constructed.
And it doesn't half look good at night too!

This is our lovely little girl Stretch.
Stretch grew up to be a very loving affectionate cat. As Stretch grew older. Stretch was never too far away from me. Wherever I was. Stretch was close by to me. If I was having a bath. Stretch had to be by me. When Charlie left for work at 6:20am. 20 minutes later. Stretch would come running up our stairs to be with me. Stretch would then settle down right up close to me and go to sleep, purring her lovely heart out. Stretch would stay with me most of the day until Charlie came home at 16:05pm. I miss her company and the comfort Stretch gave me during the days when her mum (Charlie) was at work. Sadly. 3 years ago today Our lovely girl Stretch passed away. Which was on the day we had just arrived for our family holidays in Devon. We I secretly planned and organised the renewing of our wedding vows for our Ruby wedding anniversary. Just before leaving our home to set off on our journey. While Stretch was sitting outside on our kitchen window sill. I went up to our lovely Stretch, and I said to her. I am so sorry for leaving you Stretch. Daddy has to do something very special for your mum. I will buy a special treat for you. Gibby and Binxy. Daddy will be back a week today. I will be thinking of you and Gibby and Binxy. I gave a kiss on our Stretch's head. Stretch then grabbed my wrist and pulled my hand towards her face. That was the last time I saw and spoke and kissed her goodbye as I was about to leave. To this day I have not gotten over the loss of our Stretch.
