GAGs - GeniAus' Gems - 22 January 2016

It's hot, hot hot in Sydney at the moment so the weather has kept me indoors with plenty of time for blog reading and watching tennis.

Once I subscribe to a blog in my RSS I don't delete it from my list unless the blogger lets the readers know tha the blog is either moving or being discontinued. I can highly recommend the RSS application I use, Inoreader http://www.inoreader.com/, which is similar to the old Google Reader that many of us loved. It was pleasing to see a post pop up this week from a blogger who hadn'twritten anything for a year.

Here are my biased selections for the past week. My first two articles are from public library local history blogs... worth following if there are blogs from your areas of interest.

1. I didn't realise that Fairfield was a summertime playground
