This is the second Poem I wrote yesterday when I was just sitting out the back of our house enjoying the Sunshine, gentle breeze and the lovely birdsong.

An Utter Delight!
Such a beautiful day yesterday! We had our great friends, Rolf & Karen come over for a BBQ lunch and then spent a wonderful time together for hours.😎🥩🥗🍰🍺🍹
After they left I went out the back and enjoyed the (very) late afternoon sunshine, warmth and birdsong, and the following words came to me. 😎🦜🌞✍️🖋️
Sitting On A Shelf
More Treasure!
Last Friday, my Wife and I went to her parent’s property, South-East of Goulburn, NSW. On the way out, we stopped at one of our favourite places in Goulburn, The Argyle Emporium. We have visited there quite a few times before and I have written about it a few times on this blog.
It is located in an old police station/courthouse opposite the railway line, just up from the main park in Goulburn CBD. It has 25 rooms and approximately 500,000 books, plus records (LPs) and other items as well.
I suggested that we drop in here as my Wife is currently reading a 5-book sci-fi series called, ‘Dune.’ She received book one for Christmas and has book 5 but is missing the other three books. She was able to find book three so just has to get the other two now.
Of course, the chances of me entering a second-hand bookstore and not buying anything are extremely slim. I am happy to report that I did, in fact, buy five books. I added three to my poetry collection, there was one art-related book, and one writing-related book.
The cost of the five books together was only $23.00 AUD.
If you are just passing through Goulburn and you love books and records, I highly recommend a visit to the Argyle Emporium.
Happy reading!
Till next time!
