This is a very big ball of hose for I imagine a very large garden on private grounds. And it also symbolizes the wrapping up off Sugar Bee. I would like to thank everyone who has joined me on my journey. I have come to the conclusion that I must redirect my energy and say goodbye. While I love writing this blog and are very pleased that I have an audience, it is time I no longer have if I am to follow my dreams. A new direction waits. I shall keep Sugar Bee available on Blogger to view; it shall simply no longer be updated. If anyone out there who has read Sugar Bee at anytime would like to introduce themselves, please do, leave a comment for me, it would be nice to know who you are, all I have to go by is the number of views statistics, and that you are all spread around the world. To be truthful, it breaks my heart a little to finish up Sugar Bee, for knowing I have readers out there is so encouraging and has given me the strength to update everyday, even if not until the last few minutes before bed. Sugar Bee was for you and me both. THANK-YOU for your time, your interest, and your heart, all very much appreciated and good night to you dear readers, good night. xx

So where is Robot going with those heavy metal shoes and that magnetic smile of his? Why he is leading you directly in the door of his cafe. Robot is almost too perfect a place to eat lunch, that is if you are in the mood for Sushi. Admittedly I have not been for lunch at Robot, it was the sign that caught my eye and successfully commanded my attention for a few minutes in an otherwise busy day. Trust the Japanese to turn the world on with style that begs fun and efficiency. Do you enjoy sushi? I love it when it is served at its premium best, then like any cuisine, it is likely to melt in your mouth. And here is a link to a website that states it is for the
consummate sushi fan, a guide to be best sushi in America, http://www.eatsushi.com/ and since I live in Melbourne, it is appropriate for me to include this link to: http://www.mailintalks.com/2009/02/25/top-5-best-sushi-melbourne/. But lets remember that Sushi is only one Japanese cuisine, here is a guide to more Japanese food: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e620.html and when you are finished with being tempted by all that deliciousness, make yourself a cup of green tea and sit back and watch the following musical wonder piece from one of my favourite movies ever Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OkT5HyumQ4 I wish I could link the whole movie in for you, but that would be naughty and is a little hard to find apparently. Opps I found a link for you, shhh! :) enjoy my friends x http://www.best-animes.tv/nausicaa-of-the-valley-of-the-wind/

These adorable teapots are ready and waiting for tea and when one is ready it will be served to you with a smile by someone who cares. Be sure to request a biscuit too, perhaps a chocolate biscuit or a milk arrowroot, something to add a little sweet zing to the day. Do you have a favourite tea, English Breakfast or maybe herbal? Perhaps its time to try a new flavour, experience the taste and the effect. For instance, peppermint tea may give you energy and is fantastic for upset tummies while chamomile is bound to chill you out, perfect before bedtime. Here is a guide to herbal teas, http://www.bodyandsoul.com.au/nutrition/nutrition+tips/a+guide+to+herbal+teas,13361. I hope it comes in handy or perhaps is an inspiration on a cold slow day when a lift is needed.

Smile for we wish to do your laundry and not to forget the ironing as well. This sign sits up on a laundromat wall and while I didn't take my laundry in, I did notice the sign and I did smile. Now while I'd certainly take in my ironing, I wouldn't take in my washing while I own or have access to a washing machine for all the tea in China, because I love doing the laundry. I love doing the laundry so much that I volunteer to do other peoples laundry, loading it in the machine, hanging it out, rehanging for maximum drying effect, matching soxs, pegging so minimal peg marks appear in shirts etc, folding dry laundry and putting it all away in the right place, facing the right way. That is my thing, doing the laundry. I love it. People love me doing their laundry. But I don't iron clothes, never do but once in a while if I absolutely must, say an awards evening or a wedding to attend. Because ironing is tedious and fidgety and in today's world of 101 crease free fabrics, it just seems like unnecessary hard work. However a garment steamer is definitely on my wish list for those ironing required moments: http://m.target.com/p/home-touch-perfect-steam-deluxe-steamer-white-gray/-/A-13778236. Maybe one day my dream will come true.

Let's not get too deep into the tragedy of how an economy end up printing bank notes worth 100 trillion dollars. Personally without understanding economics that deeply, I would tend to draw a big red line across which bank notes were no longer allowed to be valued at, and reuse the already printed notes with somewhat more sensible figures on them. Even one hundred dollars for a loaf of bread seems extreme, but far more stable that 100 trillion dollars. Zimbabwe, a political tragedy and one has to question how humanity lets these political nightmares happen. In my simply sweet and loving mind, while I know the world is not so kind, I ponder how this can happen, how can millions of people in distress be held to ransom at the hands of a few mean and ugly men? Welcome to the way of the world, nothing new in that. So then I thank the gods that I live in a basically stable environment, I take time to think about destruction and do my best to not destruct what I have and am interested to find out though self examination that I destruct in my own little ways without meaning to or knowing that I am until I look at things from different angles. Life is a play that might well be called Ego and Intent and on that rather weighty note, it is time for bed. While I am not a "bad man" perhaps my dreams tonight will be courteous enough to softly show me a few of my not so positive parts of my character, so that during sleep my mind may alter an improve these glitches and I wake up a better person.

The train is ready to leave on platform 14, please stand back behind the yellow lines, that will do nicely thank-you people. But you see the thing is until I had to catch a train from platform 14, I had no idea that it existed. This has a lot to do with the fact that it is under the main concourse of Flinders Street Station and the trains using platform 14 are not trains that I usually catch. And it would be a stretch of my memory to recall which train I caught from platform 14 and where I went on that train. Logic encourages me to think it was a south-eastern travelling train, and one within the metro serviced area, as opposed to a country train or a V-Line as they are known. So from that I can conclude a day trip was taken and from that I can conclude I am likely to have a photo or two from the day because very really do I not take photos of somewhere or something or someone. But again likely a dead end for I am also not likely to see a photo from this day and link it to Platform 14, although I might and that is what you call a long shot. When a long shot comes off, it is a very nice and satisfying feeling, so it may be worth following a long shot and see what comes of it. Of course it may be easier to toddle down to Flinders Street Station tomorrow or the next day and ask at the help desk "Excuse me, can you please tell me which trains leave from platform 14?" And you know what? I could then come home, find a photo relative to the location and bring up a whole set of memories from the day I went somewhere with someone to do something.

This is an electrical box for perhaps the phone lines or some such public service. These boxes are a common sight on the streets of Australia and New Zealand. But what makes these boxes unique and wonderful is the individual paint job given each one, making an artistic statement with fun built in. I like the painted boxes, I particularly like Simons one because it is cute and well to me looks happy. Who paints them I am not sure, there will be an application process but do you need an artists's CV or just an idea with half a clue as how to paint? Who supplies the paint? Do you get paid to personalize these boxes? Who owns the boxes? When were they first painted? Again the many questions I have about life around me. And the challenge this time is that with no idea as to what these boxes are called; suddenly Goggle is a bigger world than usual. Nevermind for I now know these boxes are seen in other parts of the world http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMGG0G_Tropical_Birds_on_Telephone_Wires_Calgary_Alberta and that they are called Telephone Utility Boxes. Have you seen them? Do you like them? Do you have a favourite one of all the ones you have seen? Have you ever thought it would be cool to paint one of your own? And if so, why not apply and do one?! To finish off, now I know what they are called, I have found another 3 to share with you: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2633/5813140993_0451d36039_z.jpg, http://s.wallpaperhere.com/thumbnails/detail/20110628/TelephoneBox2754.JPG, and http://www.myurbangardendecoguide.com/images/6a00d83451b60269e2010535ed0994970b-500wi.jpg.
