No 5, Golden Mile

Not much to remark about no. 5, the number engraved in the glass above the entrance door.

Like that Claus, is that some sort of scribed plastic?

Hi Ed,

Like the rest of the windows the about the door 'glass' is printed on clear plastic labels using a ink jet printer.

No. 7, Golden Mile


It is afternoon and Mrs. Nelson is in her garden reading a gardening book. She needs some ideas for planting along the south facing wall. How do we know it is afternoon? Look at the sunflowers. They are facing towards north west and the sun. Which leaves us with a conundrum. The sunflowers are quite mature for the time of the year. The date is Sunday the 7^th of October.

How could we know? Well, a worker at the tram shed is reading about Geelong's defeat of Hawthorn in the Grand Final the day before. Okay, just a not quite right detail!

Interesting observations Claus - I love these little in-built tales.

However, contrary to popular belief, sunflowers don't actually follow the sun - whilst they do move a bit, the norm is that they face the rising sun. 😴

I remember discussing them with a friend here….if they always face the sun,  at what time during the night/morning, do they snap back from west to east (or in your case, east to west).  Do they do it suddenly at dawn in which case, they could break their necks or do they discuss the situation during the night and from memory know they need to do an about turn before dawn - a bit like vampires ……

I study them in detail when they grow in the field adjacent to our house and not a sound of chatter nor heads snapping through 180 degrees at dawn …

I also read that young flowers follow the sun  but older ones always face the morning sun.

And even here in Australia the sun sets in west😉. The midday sun is in the north though.

All done


With the cast iron lace installed above the first floor and the second floor the terraced houses are finished. Still need a fence along the footpath.

Looking good Claus, well done

Last update from the Golden Mile


The terraced houses are finished with front fences and steps down. A tree gives some shade for the roses in Mrs. Paterson's garden.

Love it !!
