Doors of WordPress V129

Happy Thursday everyone from a wet and wild Sydney today. I’m staying dry in work but it is miserable out there. There is no Thursday Doors this week but I wanted to showcase this beauty as it’s a red door and fits in with Becky’s simply red challenge for the month of July. This door is from one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney called Darlinghurst, as I am sure you have heard, as I have mentioned it too many times before haha.


Posted as part of Becky’s SimplyRed challenge for the month of July. I love the colour of red with the green surroundings from the brickwork and plants. It’s almost a shame to have the door and windows covered by railings but as mentioned before, it is to enable opening the door and window with the ability to lock the railings. It provides both security and fresh air to flow in.

1000 subscribers!

Today I hit a HUGE milestone (for me) with achieving one thousand subscribers.

That’s a thousand humans (and possibly a few bots) who clicked follow, subscribe or ‘I’m kind of curious with what Wayne is rambling about today’.

From Wayne’s Word to tray bakes, travel highlights to colourful doors, you have stuck around and I am incredibly grateful for that. Whether you have read, may it be one post or a hundred, I want to say, THANK YOU!

This is my 21st day posting in a row and I have to say this has been the key for me, posting often. With creating Wayne’s Word and joining in different blogging prompts, it has kept the fire burning within me to keep blogging. The community here is fantastic for encouraging you and making you feel extremely welcome when the world around us can seem hard and sad at times.

Here is to the next thousand followers, the next word, travel adventure or whatever wonders lie in between.

Aboriginal Artwork

Aboriginal artwork is deeply significant as it serves as a powerful form of storytelling, cultural preservation, and spiritual connection. Each symbol, pattern, and colour carries meaning, often representing aspects of the Dreamtime, Aboriginal creation stories and the land, animals, and ancestral spirits. Passed down through generations, this art is not just decorative but a vital way of sharing knowledge, laws, and traditions. It reflects a profound relationship with Country and offers insight into the world’s oldest continuous culture.

Chinese Garden of Friendship

Tucked away in the bustle of Darling Harbour, Sydney, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is like stepping into another world, one filled with winding paths, koi-filled ponds and beautiful bamboo. Built in 1988 as a gesture of goodwill between Sydney and Guangzhou, China, it is a rare slice of calm in the city. You can walk past waterfalls, under willow trees, and into quiet pavilions that feel a million miles from the skyscrapers just beyond the walls. It’s not just a garden but also a reminder that peace can grow right in the middle of chaos.

Wayne’s Word – aesthetic

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is AESTHETIC.

Aesthetic describes something that is visually pleasing or thoughtfully designed. Yesterday I spotted this fantastic building with a unique aesthetic exterior that really popped against the other buildings in the central business district.

Wayne’s Word – cockerel

Today’s word is COCKEREL.

It’s not just a fancy name for a rooster but it’s actually a young one.

In British English, a cockerel is a male chicken under a year old. Once he matures and starts ruling the roost (literally), he graduates to being called a rooster, the term more commonly used in American English.

So while all cockerels are roosters, not all roosters are still cockerels. This was something I just learned today! We spotted this amazing cockerel this afternoon at our local zoo / animal sanctuary.

Today’s word is DONOR.

The word donor comes from the Latin donare, meaning “to give” and that’s all it is, giving a little of what you have, so someone else gets a better shot. No fanfare, no fuss.

Last night I had some free time so I decided to donate some plasma. It’s fairly easy to do, takes about an hour, you relax on the chair and even enjoy a free milkshake. It’s something small but can mean the world of difference to someone that needs it.
