Tonight we were at Darling Harbour in the main Darling Quarter Park area.
Blink Cincinnati Projection Mapping Mural
Started at Voxelated. Peoplewatching - there was a lady who kept asking people to take photos of her, and kept checking the photos and then would ask them to take it again. Had no shame. She even asked us, but we were forewarned about her, so gave her an excuse and she took the hint.
Moved to the Quiet Zone - very quiet here.
Then to the Accessible and Inclusions area overlooking the stage.
Ken popped by to say hi.
Tonight's meal was beef stew with sweet potato mash

Thursday 4 Jun2 2026
Today we said farewell to Mare, gone too soon.
We (Lily, Kaylene and I) attended the viewing the night before at Unity Funeral in Enfield and Xavier's flowers were amazing - all her favourite flowers.
Jacq's eulogy was sad and poignant. Kaylene did a reading at the church service.
This followed by the internment at Rookwood in the Imperial Garden Estate 3, Zone Hm, Plot #115.
As the coffin was lowered, a rain shower passed - the heavens were also crying.
Then we all remember her at the wake in the function room at Rookwood Village at 1:30pm. Lots of family and friends.
Jacq did an amazing job to arrange it all.
I took the day off to attend with family.
