I have a lot of respect for fans who are able to identify 'celebrities!' and are able to go up to them and ask for autographs, by the time it 'clicked' who he was... I only had time to get off a quick photo before he crossed the road.

Queen Victoria's Statue outside the QVB
(Queen Victoria Building)
a great meeting place for tourist and locals.

When I go into Sydney to spend the day with my daughter
our usual meeting place is either the QVB
or the Sydney Town Hall steps.

I have had a couple of requests for a photo of Darcy
aka Big Fella

and

These are my dogs, Bailey and Kahli.

Darcy is bigger than either of them

My cat Darcy went missing on Monday evening, my son, Mike and I looked everywhere for him then last night (Wednesday) while outside futively smoking a ciggie Mike heard Darcy answer his call and went looking for him now we live on a highway four lanes wide and how my son was able to find him stuck up a tree on the opposite side of the Hwy - my son must have cat's eyes because the only way I was able to find Darcy was to use a torch - so there the Big Fella(Darcy) was legs spread-eagled on these little branches in the fork of a tree ...very high up. We called and called sweet nothings up to him but he wasn't budging...Time:11pm Wednesday


Mike first called the fire brigade first thing this morning they gave him a number of a business that does their vertical rescues!! A Lone Man arrived later in the morning but the ladder wasn't high enough - so he goes back to base to get a bigger ladder and BackUp Guy.

A couple of hours later he returned with his bigger ladder and BackUp Guy and up the ladder he went - mutterings were heard when he realised how BIG the Big Fella was -laughter from BackUp Guy who when he sees Lone Man having so much trouble dis-entangling(sp) the Big Fella from his lofty perch - scales the ladder and between the two of them they were able to wrench Darcy from his proxy home
Time:2pm Thursday
