The Foursome in Oz



Well the picture tells the story a little wind swept in the Blue Mountains. The Four Queens in the front and Three Sisters at the rear!

The Sisters were formed by erosion and the Queens by natural beauty!The soft sandstone of the Blue Mountains is easily eroded over time by wind, rain and rivers, and the cliffs surrounding the Jamison Valley are being slowly broken up. Formations like the Three Sisters are created when water seeps into small cracks in the rock, gradually enlarging them over time to form large indentations. Eventually, the Sisters will be eroded away completely. The modern day tourism industry has created a legend that says that three sisters fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe, but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. Battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back.

Today is the day!

Frank's no smoking day is today! Although he has had a rehearsal yesterday (31st March). After smoking since he was 18 he has achieved more that 40 coffin sticks a day - I estimate 60! So with the help of "Champix" tablets he is making a real attempt to give them up.
He wasn't too impressed with my momento - a small resin plaque which reads -
"If you are smoking in this house you had better be on fire" a oops I think!
