The Opera House



What a wonderful weekend I had with Brad. Just us, (thanx to mum for looking after the children at home), from Thursday to Sunday afternoon. Lovely staying again with Aunty Joy, Uncle Ross & Brad's cousins Adam & Cam.

Brad's Aunty Judy was married to Lionel whom obviously adores Judy so very much, at the Opera House in grand but beautifully understated style at sunset on Friday evening against the back drop of the Harbour Bridge. We enjoyed meeting new friends and catching up with family.

On Saturday we had brunch with Annita and Richie who are off now for an extended holiday in Darwin - lucky them ! Spent the afternoon at my old haunts (15 years ago !! ), Chatswood shopping and the most beautiful shopping center ever, The Queen Victoria Building. Topped it all of with with a romantic harbourside dinner at The Rocks.

Annndd back to reality with a thud, arrived home Sunday afternoon to sick children :)

Oh & Neah - she had her athletics carnival on the Friday - we rang at lunch tome to see how she was going and she had won 5 blue ribbons and a green ! Asking her what races they were for the answer was , "well... I ran all the way around (800m), then 1/2 way around (400m), then just a little bit (50m), did long jump, shot put and got the green ribbon for tunnell ball" . Wow. She's our star!

few pics from my mobi. more from Brad's later.
