I likewise recently had a visit to the UK's National Railway Museum in York, where my favourite exhibit was Mallard, the world's fastest steam locomotive!  

(PS. If you're looking for trams that don't just sit in a museum but still go about on a real network (the world's biggest, actually), we've got plenty in Melbourne. ) 

My husband wore his Puffing Billy cap from when our PROBUS club rode on that famous vintage steam train at Dandenong, a few years ago.

My husband wore his Puffing Billy cap from when our PROBUS club rode on that famous vintage steam train at Dandenong, a few years ago.  

Excellent, but please note Puffing Billy is in the Dandenong Ranges, or "the Dandenongs" for short, which are incredibly beautiful (I have friends in that area and I love visiting there). The name Dandenong, on its own, refers to the town / small regional city / now outer suburb of Melbourne in the foothills of the ranges. Dandenong, for whatever reasons, is a town of poor socio-economic status and exceedingly ill repute. I'm entitled to say that, as I have a personal connection with it... due to circumstances beyond my control at the time, I was born there.   (Mercifully, we moved to Inverloch before I was old enough to know anything about it.)

It is essential for me to point out that my wife and my first-born daughter were also born in Dandenong, and although I am aware of the reputation and status of the town, I think that brings it up in my appreciation.

  When I was born, my parents were living near Tempe Station in Sydney, which I later confused with " temptation", which we are supposed to avoid & not be led into.   

I've seen a jokey variation of the Lord's Prayer somewhere: "Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself."  

I'd like a variation of the Lord's prayer, just for drivers, or for those who use transport, when nobody wants to end up in an accident due to someone or other's temptation to break rules. 

After my youngest daughter had an accident the other day, I said I'd like to bubble-wrap her, to which she replied, "don't do that Daddy, otherwise, because if you do, I won't be able to breathe!"  

When I was young, I used to read comics where what any character had to say was in a speech bubble. 

It will be interesting to see what character development takes place in Greta Gerwig's Narnia films. 

Property development can be a mixed bag at times.

I received a new incubator for Father's Day today, which should be very suitable for me to breed quail again.

I received Jesus as my Savior, after he changed my heart to desire him.

"For those who steal or those who climb my wall

Shall find their heart's desire and find despair."
