My birthday was yesterday, hooray for India’s Independence Day and the peak summer holidays Feast of the Assumption in France and Italy.

I have been in Sydney to see The Drover’s Wife at Sydney Opera House with a talk before the show by Leah Purcell. Big recommend, important story told well in a beautiful format. Even better when you get to see a good show with a great friend.

Also got to catch buses, regional trains, suburban trains, and ferries.

The harbour view was from my apartment window.

Oh, another request for #sydney folks. One of the first things I want to do here at Chez Madman is upgraded electrical stuff.

I need USB on all outlets, a few additional double or quadruple power outlets, at least one outdoor socket (if not more), power to my shed and a basic report on where the current cable runs are for future renovation.

Recommendations for a sparky who can quote in SW Sydney - Lakemba-ish kind of area?
