    You've really captured their expressions... uncomfy new running shoes perhaps? :D)

    No. They seemed to be doing stretches and were having trouble balancing on one leg.

    Phone while jogging is a form of ID. Strange that they are on different legs.

      Well of course a phone is not a phone to a jogger. It isa source of music, a timekeeper, a distance keeper and who knows what else ... a heart monitor ... they are so clever these days.

      They did help me by falling off balance several times and having to start again ... which gave me time to line up the shot which I missed on the first attempt.

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
