A large crowd gathers on the waterfront to watch a maritime event featuring multiple ships on the river, including the Queen Mary 2, while military jets fly overhead leaving trails of red, white, and blue smoke against a cloudy sky.

I'm interested in libraries, and descriptions or pictures of lost libraries always pique my curiosity.

I'd love to know what the books are. Although I've enlarged the picture, the titles remain illegible. Who chose the books? What happened to them? Some of them have probably been destroyed, but I like to think that at least one of them is still "alive", sitting on a shelf somewhere.

I also like to picture some of those voyaging between Australia and New Zealand coming here to pass the time by flicking through a periodical, engross themselves in a novel, reflect after reading a poem...perhaps some, after some encounter here with either a text or a fellow trans-Tasman voyager, changed their lives.

For Brits, it's easy to imagine Australia and New Zealand as being next door neighbours, like Britain and Ireland - easy but wrong. In fact, Hobart in Tasmania is a little bit more distant from Wellington in New Zealand than is London, England, from Lviv, Ukraine. The voyage across the Tasman Sea could take more than three weeks.

_The Evening Post_, 17 September 1924:
THE AORANGI
BIGGEST MOTOR-SHIP
RECORD MAIDEN VOYAGE
WORLD-WIDE INTEREST
AROUSED

LONDON, 16th September.
The Union Steam Ship Company’s motor ship #Aorangi will complete her trials in November, prior to her departure on her cruise of 17,000 miles to Australia, in the course of which she will call at the West Indies, Panama, San Francisco, and Vancouver. This will be the longest cruise ever made by a liner on her maiden voyage. Many shipbuilding orders are withheld pending the reports of this cruise by the world’s largest motor liner, in which shipping circles everywhere are keenly interested.

“La Pie Velouse” is already finished. For a time it has been on the “not sure if it is working” doldrums. But I’m satisfied with the result (Although not 100% convinced). Better than never-finished.

Illustration of a bird feeder in the shape of a French Bistró. Hanging under tree leaves there is a cozy two stories building with a slate roof. On the lower floor there is a Café Bistró with a red awning. On the door, a blue and white bird with a bow tie and a menu under the wing. Outside, on perches, three little birds are eating seeds on the tables, near the restaurant windows, with white curtains and flowers. On the upper floor we have two windows with flowers and red semi dome awning. Over one of the windows it is the year 1826 (It is an old building) On the centre on the facade, there is the restaurant logo “La Pie Voleuse” (The thief magpie) with the symbol of a masked magpie in front of a cultivated field.
