How to Celebrate Bagpipe Appreciation Day on Sleepy Head Day?🛌😴😱

Every July 27th

When I was in Western Australia a few weeks back, I stumbled upon Bon Scott's statue in Fremantle, while walking from a 'Little Creatures' brewery tour and going to get some fish and chips at Cicerello's.

Fish and Chips and a dark and Stormy:-)

I knew that Bon Scott's statue was somewhere in Fremantle, but it wasn't on my bucket list of things to see when I was there.

Our plan for the day was to head to Freo for the brewery tour, have lunch, then walk around Freo before it rained (but it bucketed down as we left the brewery, for the rest of the day), then catch the train to Cottesloe and walk to the beach to pay our respects to Heath Ledger, whose wake was held in the surf there, and watch the sun set in the west.

At least we had the whole beach
 to ourselves, pretty much:-)

Can you see the sun setting on the horizon?

But I'll save our Heath Ledger odyssey for a future post, as it's too long to tell here.

I just never knew what I'd find in Freo/Perth:-)

Testing of local birds, marine
 mammals a priority

Is the Deadly H5 Strain of Bird Flu Hitting Australia Considered a Black Swan Event?🦢🐣🐔😷

Ironically, my sister asked me on the weekend if I wanted to go on a cruise with her and her husband to the Baltic countries around this time next year, including a stop in Finland, and I told her that I would sleep on it, as my bank account is still recovering from my visit to the Black Swan state:-)

She told me not to sleep too long on it or I might be sorry.

I just haven't pictured Finland being on my bucket list before, but at least there was no bucket of water waking me up this morning:-)
