sydney a week ago - 2

I did manage to replace my charger cord, unexpectedly. I was able to use the cord that came with a charger pack I had whimsically added to my baggage at the last minute, can't even remember why but glad I did. I would have wasted a lot of time traipsing around Sydney otherwise. As it was I basically - I think - got everything done I wanted to get done, within reason ('reason' isn't something I am thoroughly familiar with when it comes to FIFO research forays). 

I'll tell you what I was doing. Really, two things: I was looking at what Harry Seidler said to his colleagues about Tapiola, when he visited it (and Helsinki) in mid-1966. That was interesting, and I got a few choice quotes (no images, or anything like that, but you know, shrug emoji) and the full detail of when he was there, etc. Will add value to my paper on Australians and Tapiola.

The bigger part of my research was looking at all the boxes of scripts for the radio comedy sitcom Mrs 'Obbs, which ran from 1940 or maybe '41 till 1950, when its star, Dan Agar died. 

The thing is the show had about 1900 epsiodes and these beautifully preserved scripts only number just under 800, but they seem to be sequential and a couple of them (not many) mention years (in the vein of, 'soon it will be 1943'), which confuses me. Well, I'll either figure out or figure out why it doesn't really matter much. 

(Saturday) I consider myself to have done the necessary SLNSW work and I am going to give myself some time off this morning, if going to a cafe and writing up masters thesis assessments is time off, and then I will go to Thirroul this afternoon for the next important phase of my trip.
