VERY OLD COOK BOOKS AT HORNSBY LIBRARY

If you are or know an artist or illustrator you might want to check out Hornsby Library ongoing attempt to empty out the STACKS section.

There's 2 tables of REALLY OLD books. Really old which means you could scan and copy the older styles illos for collages etc and probably not have to worry about copyright?

Something to think about.

Council Cleanup Day OCT 27 2013

It's Council cleanup day ... well in my area of Hornsby at least


Here's a good example of a well organized neatly stack pile.

Scavengers and recyclers who are not council staff please if you pull piles apart hunting for items please do not scatter stuff all over paths and nature strips.

Council staff we ALL know there's one spot near a certain telegraph pole near a certain bridge that people use as a dumping spot. Could we make that an official pickup point?

retro cleanup

I'm cleaning up and clearing out some retro furniture items?

Anyone got a use for this?



$40  will lower price further if you buy some of the other stuff I'm trying to sell or if you cart off some of the stuff I cant put on on the kerbside.

Yes Hornsby biannual twice yearly kerbside cleanup is coming soon  but they dont pick up from my block of units ... snarl ... however further down the street they will ... so I'm expecting to see and hear some odd late night noises as nearby unit dwellers and scavengers get in each others way trying to sneak things onto heaps or messing them up searching for salvage.

More on this next time including a before and after report!

Spot the lorikeet

Spot the lorikeet
a couple of photos that show just how well those brightly colored feathers can blend in with trees in Reddy Park.



I could hear they up in the trees and I'm farsighted not shortsighted but it still took me five minutes to spot them. These birds are bright green red and blue but at a distance those intense hues blend to a dark shadow. Amazing!
