In celebration of adding a new word "Fingerpost" to my lexicon I took a look at the many signs I have keyworded "Signs" in my photo archive and tagged those I think are "Fingerposts". To earn a tag the signs must be mounted on a single post and have a pointy or finger shaped end.
I didn't find as many as I thought would fit my criteria, I'm sure there are more that I haven't previously tagged. Following is a small collection of some fingerposts that I found in my albums. Please remember that many of these are taking from moving vehicles so may be crooked or fuzzy.

After more than a year our boat remains nameless.
This morning, as I was going through old photos, I came across this photo taken in 2014 at St Lucia in the Caribbean.

I'm trying to cut down on luggage!
I have a hard copy of this book on my shelves but it's rather heavy. Thanks to the Libby app I have been able to borrow an eversion of a later edition from Hornsby Library.
Hope we don't get lost with this available on my phone!
Next job is to replace my Italian dictionary with an eVersion.
Sitting in my geneacave this afternoon I coined a new word "Doordling" to describe an activity I embrace when travelling.
I am a slow walker who dawdles. The doordling occurs when I combine this activity with stops to take photos of doors I spy on my journeys.
On our recent holiday we spent some time in London where I enjoyed several "Doordles".

Had a wonderful day out in Sydney last Saturday taking advantage of a Christmas 2019 gift of tickets to a live show, Nine to Five. Thanks to Covid and the show being rescheduled we had to wait over two years to use our gift.
Our daughter accompanied us on our trip to Sydney which, because we used all the toll roads, only took us 90 minutes. That gave us time for a leisurely lunch at Capital Thai, a restaurant conveniently located next door to the Capitol Theatre. We enjoyed an appetiser and two Main Crouses from the menu.
I was rather nervous about attending a show in the city but was comforted by the Covid Plan the theatre had in place. We were able to enter the theatre early and we waited until most of the patrons had left before we made our departure.

| Masked up and it wasn't Phantom of the Opera |
The show was lively and colourful with good vocal performances and serious messages. Can you believe that one of the stars, Marina Prior, is now 58 years old? Was it really 30 years ago that we saw her play Christine Daaé in Phantom of the Opera?
