Saw this boy running a small makeshift tobacco shop and then saw a notepad hung on the wall!
When I inquired about the same, he told me that he tries to study as and when he gets time while jostling with the customers!

My friend is a GED teacher -- and recently turned an act of classroom disrespect into a "teachable moment," schooling the youngster in the art of writing an apology letter.

Scanned from the original 35MM film negative.
I cleaned out a friend's fridge today. Instead of the cleaned out fridge, which was boring, here is the note I left for him to find.
I hope it will make him laugh.

Note how the downstairs has had a 1930s Art Deco makeover but the upstairs has not. It still has its 1850s French windows etc. It was here that Goulburn doctor, Dr Waugh, started his practice in 1848. He later developed baking powder here.
Why was Goulburn one of the first two inland towns in NSW? It was all to do with convicts. For 35 years NSW was kept as a convict settlement with free settlers deterred from settling. As late as 1830 75% of all NSW inhabitants were convicts or ex-convicts. Most free settlers were ex military personnel who had been given generous free land grants usually of around 1,000 acres upon their retirement from the military forces. Most chose to stay in NSW. The British Colonial Office also limited early settlement to the Sydney region -the Cumberland Plains. Around 1820 the government changed its policy and the first convicts were moved out of Sydney to the Hunter Valley; explorers were sent out to find new areas of NSW suitable for pastoralism; and free settlers were encouraged to settle. England wanted more Australian wool to keep their textile factories busy by the 1820s. Economic imperialism had changed government policy. But control was still tight in the new areas and they were limited to the Hunter Valley; the Illawarra region (Nowra); the Bathurst Plains; and the Goulburn Plains. The early development in all these areas was mainly undertaken by assigned convicts who worked for private landowners before their pardons were granted. Each area had a convict station from where landowners selected their assigned convict workers and these depots had to have convict barracks, soldier barracks, commissariat stores etc. Some convicts were kept in chains and employed on building roads, culverts, bridges and government buildings. The main convict station of the Goulburn region was at Towrang Creek which operated from 1833 to 1843 during the construction of the Great South Road-now the Hume Highway. (Hamilton Hume and Meehan had explored this western area of NSW in 1818 when he discovered Lake Bathurst.) At Towrang around 250 convicts were housed whilst they constructed the road. Other were assigned to the first pastoralists. A few remains exist at Towrang a culvert, bridge, weir, remains of the Powder Magazine and the Stockade. The convicts and the convict station helped open up Argyle Country and the Goulburn Plains. The first white pastoral settler arrived in 1825 and the current city of Goulburn was surveyed in 1833. As the administrative capital of Argyle County it had a staggering 1,200 people by 1841 with soldier and convict barracks, courthouse, rudimentary hospital, shops, churches and Post Office. It grew considerably in the 1850s and was declared as Australia’s first inland city in 1863 by Royal Letters Patent. It was the last royal patent city declared in the British Empire. It grew even more once the first railway line from Sydney reached the city in 1868.

I make notes of the five separate daily photo groups I belong to (see here) I put a different photo in each. I was ruling up some more sheets today and am writing on the oldest … my daily selfie. I've been doing this since my 65th birthday on 21 April 2007.
To my horror, I found that the 20 April did not coincide with day 366 of year 13. I went back over the year and found all was well – until I spotted that I'd written 350 after 359. Phew, thinking that I was ten days out was very worrying 😳
Good morning Alex,
If you're reading this it means I wasn't as fast as I thought I would be. I'll be back very soon with some breakfast - I figured with the jetlag, you might be starving...also since I kept you up pretty late last night...
I really hope you're still okay with all of it. I know we talked about it, and obviously you're an adult and can make your own decisions, but I still worry that maybe I pushed you too fast or something. I mean, I feel like I've gotten to know you quite well over the past year, but then again, this wasn't new to me, even if it was still special (and it was). Just let me know if you want to talk? Back soon!
Yours,
Maggie
