Went to Sydney this morning where Both Swmbo and I had business with the heart specialist. I got a clean bill of health and Maureen has to go back a few more times.
Must admit to being a bit preoccupied with the antiocs of the local youth. Late last night they busted open a storage container which is nearby the bus then checked out our car to see if there was anything of interest in it.
On Saturday morning at 1.30am the same little darlings ( I reckon ) set alight to a Water Board workmans hut and trashed the worksite
As a consequence, we haven't slept much and this afternoon, busied ourselves trying to find another campsite.
Went to the Mall in Campsie and came across a Chinese bakery where they have all their produce in boxes lined up in rows ( couldn't help wondering if the got them from a pet shop) with sliding plastic doors. You just pick out what you want, put it in a bag and pay at the counter
They have an enormous array of things, particularly buns ....all types of buns and all sweet. Buns with a sav in them, buns with ham in them ...too many to list. Must say they all looked very inviting .
My gold standard for a good Bakery is custard tarts, which must be well filled well above the pastry and not sagging in the centre. The custard needs to be of good colour and firm, whilst the pastry is crisp and well formed
Must say theirs looked as good as any I have seen.
They also had fruit salad tarts in the same size cases with slices of kiwifruit, strawberry, and other things stand decoratively above the pastry.
Had an enjoyable time at dinner with Alan and Dawn this evening.
