Last weekend of February

End of Summer - Beginning of Autumn

To mark the last Raffle of February, I had some luck, winning two prizes on Friday night, I won one breakfast tray, and a 2 kg. of "roast", that was a good omen, today, the last day of February, we had our fishing day out at Wollongong, and apart from being a great day out, it was a good"fishing" day I caught 7 fish in all, and 3 weighed just over 1 Kg each, including one Snapper, that put me in second place, and one $10 voucher

BERALA the FORGOTTEN SUBURB

Is BERALA the FORGOTTEN SUBURB ?

These pictures, were taken yesterday, but they look very much like the ones I took same 2 years back, so it looks like nothing much has changed.

3 owners later, I think, but still no shopping centre for Berala.

In answer to whoever asked the question on my blog, the answer is that we are all still hoping for (a miracle) to see one built, meanwhile, we go to the Chester Hill Centre to do our shopping!

On a better note, last night at raffle, I won two prizes, a meat tray, and a breakfast tray, a very good start to 2010.

Last Sunday, we were supposed to go fishing with the Chester Hill RSL Club, but as it is becoming the NORM, the trip was put off again, because of inclement weather -ie- rough seas.
Hope for better weather on the 28th. of February, the date for the Dooleys Club next outing !

We still have a few fish left in the freezer.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, and HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! And Happy Gardening.

REGENTS PARK Mens Shed

Here are some shots that I took at the opening of the Regents Park Men's Shed, should be a nice place to spend an hour or two, a couple of times a week!

MEN'S SHED
REGENTS PARK

Now men from around the Berala, Regents Park,Auburn area, will have a place to go to, if they don't have a shed of their own at home!

Today saw the official opening of the "Regents Park Men's Shed"

Around about 70 or so people, attended the official opening of the SHED, followed by an inspection (look around) of the new facilities/work shop, training room, office, computer room, and all the other facilities, that would allow a group of "men", to do some creative work, or to share their knowledge with others, and to talk, and generally get to know others, that want to do things with their hands, and create things, like toys etc. and maybe acquire new skills.
The centre was opened by the Mayor of Auburn City Council, Councillor Zraika, together with the
President of the Vietnam Veterans,Peacemakers and Peacekeepers Association of Australia, Ian McCombe OAM.
A understand, that a number of Associations are involved with the project, so it seems that it will be able to go ahead and be successful.The Australian Government, the State Government, Auburn Council, the Lidcombe TAFE, and other bodies, are supporting the project.
I wish it LUCK and SUCCESS .
