'The best known quarries are Paradise, Purgatory and Hell Hole, named by the stone masons who worked them'. https://pyrmonthistory.net.au/quarries1

'One of the first quarries in Sydney was established on Bennelong Point by Samuel Peyton, a 19-year-old stonemason who had been convicted of stealing 200 shillings in 1784 and sentenced to deportation for seven years. He arrived with the first fleet on the Alexander in 1788 as the only stonemason in the Colony.'

I was thinking this last night, when I was walking home. I queried whether I had passed the longest day of the year. I got in bed and fell asleep a few times. Then I woke up to the sun coming up at 5 in the morning. I fell asleep and woke up at 9 in the morning, thinking that it was midday.

I did not have much of a winter to enjoy. Hope it will be a cold winter this year. It seems like it will be cold this coming year.

Going to be doing the lawn this afternoon. And then I will have that rusting clothesline taken out of the backyard. I bought 45L of water to consume over the fortnight. I am more than halfway through the packs.

Very weird how southern states have their southern weather. Up here, it gets to March before you even consider putting the hot water system on. It can get around to anywhere from late August to early October before you even consider having cold showers.

I did not experience a hot day until October this year. I was still using jackets until September. The only way that I would experience a cold night in summer would be if we had a hailstorm and then follow up rain for a few days. I actually use the hot water system on those days. But, usually, I have cold showers anywhere from September to March.
