Holiday in Sydney week 1 summary

Every day I remind myself that this is a holiday not a trip. All the museums and art galleries and cafes and shops and parks and etc on my list are suggestions not 'must-do's. I have not flown to the other side of the world to get here.

I am pleased with myself. I seem to have managed , so far, to have a restful holiday.

I have  , in no particular order :

Been to the Art Gallery . I enjoyed the collection of Australian paintings.

Been to the Library , a lovely foyer that I have never seen before.

Had dinner with my niece
Had dinner with my cousins
Been to the visitors centre to collect pamphlets  for interesting walks and things to do to last a year
Been to centennial park to collect pamphlets on its walk
Had some interesting bus trips

Eaten at lots of different places, mostly good
Had coffee at many different places, mostly good
Spent at least an hour each day over breakfast reading the newspaper and doing the crossword ( except the day I went to the lilyfield market)
Done my meditation and some of my healing rug each day
Got on average of 8 3/4 hours sleep a night , a huge improvement
Wandered the streets and foreshores of Glebe and Pyrmont reading from brochures of the history of various buildings and areas.

Things I have not done yet and would like to :

Been on any ferry
Finished my current book so I can get on with the others I have brought.
Sort out the photos I have taken.

Maybe I will post some photos next week.
