Can't find anything about the 378 running anymore, i think the one you mentioned is the 389 which now runs to Pyrmont from Bondi Junction and goes by the Casino and i think terminates at the Maritime Museum. i got it not long ago coming home from the Blue Eyed Dragon which is just behind the casino, i have also caught it just down the road at Pirrama Park a few times. In the old days it used to run from Circular Quay to North Bondi, i sometimes still catch it as it stops outside my doctors practise at Darlinghurst to get to Bondi Junction.

Both of the above albums are superb, Tapestry is one of the all time greatest albums.

Here is another bus related song.

Yes that's it..the 389..golly..I'm really stuck in the 70's aren't I? 378..LOL.. I don't catch it much anymore as it reminds me of hospital and specialist appointments..nuff said..

I caught it after a work Christmas lunch I'd organised at The Little Snail back in December 2022.

Diana looks exquisite in the clip..just enjoying it whilst having lunch..thanks for that!

Danny Mayers from The Delltones, one of Mum's favourite bands, passed away recently. We liked anyone who came to our town actually... Singing a cover of JOK's She's My Baby.

horrie hastings Good morning. Not sure if you knew or not, they shut down the 379 bus stop near the corner of Glenayr Avenue and Hall St due to the new building going up. The stop is now near LJ Hooker on O'Brien St at number 18.

Ugly behaviour yesterday outside Westfield Bondi when a self entitled scruffy man in a bucket hat decided to thump the front door of the 379 bus all because he didn’t make it to the stop in time. They run every 3 minutes in the afternoons too. Talk about theatrics. He looked eerily familiar too. Lack of self awareness because he was talking on one of those stupid phones and didn’t have his wits about him as Mum would say. This was around 4.25pm as I was in the front seat near the driver and heading home from work. We don’t need any more angry men in the Bondi area.

Perhaps it was an ex boyfriend of yours

Perhaps it was an ex boyfriend of yours

No it wasn't Rad. The only recent ex boyfriend of mine is no longer with us as you know. My very first serious boyfriend is now 60 and travelling in Tasmania with his wife and they both met working for my Dad, which makes us all very happy as they are both salt of the earth country people. The lady ended up working in the kitchen of the hospital where Mum was at the end, so we were all very grateful for her.

His younger brother was in my class at school and died suddenly at work one day back in August just after all of our birthdays. We are all still like family and are extremely close.

I never dated bad tempered men anyway as that type of behaviour just doesn't appeal, to any age group. I hope the gentleman in question may one day find a lovely calm lady to love and then maybe he won't go around punching Bondi buses..you won't win that fight anyway..

Hope you are having a good week otherwise my friend and keeping well.

We need a little joy and I found this song in my collection this afternoon..A very old song called Duchess by Genesis..

This popped up on the playlist in the car when i was driving back from the Stadium yesterday, i had not heard it in years and actually had a bit of a tear in my eye thinking they just don't make songs like this anymore.

There was no real need for a life story response that we have all heard before. Having seen your bus yesterday and seeing a Free Palestine sticker on it I think the mystery of the ugly behaviour from your man in the bucket hat has been solved, It was Jaxxx who flew into a fit of rage seeing the sticker

You would love the company Spotify playlist which gets piped into our bathrooms bizzarrely enough. I always think I must tell Horrie about this song or that. I think half the staff weren't even born when some of the songs were hits..they must wonder what on earth the music is. .

Hi Rad. I hope you had a good week. I don't have any Sydney based boyfriends as I explained before. Everyone is welcome to share whatever they need to at any given time, as you have also done on many many many occasions. This is what makes us all human beings. It's a reminder to remember good times we have all shared together away from this place also. Oh and my friends took a photo of the Black Caviar statue as well during their travels and I thought of you.

You can mention Jack as many times as you like towards me as he and his family are also salt of the earth country people, just like my own family. It was a real privilege to meet them all, especially his mother Dixie who showed me great kindness and friendship. She was an amazing lady, just like my own mother. I will always cherish and appreciate anyone who shows kindness.

This great song is playing at the moment. This truly is one of rhe most beautiful songs and covered so many times in later years.
