A quiet Sunday

Sunday 8 June
We took the Manly ferry to Sydney,
then the train at Circular quay to Town hall,
and then walk to Darling Harbour for lunch.

 We had a nice pizza: prosciutto and rocket
and a garden salad, washed down with a glass of wine.
(there is no weight watchers meeting tomorrow night, queen's birthday)

 walking to the ABC studio I saw this eye catching car.

 We went for a free piano concert at the ABC for Sunday live on FM

Then we made our way back before the rain.

This photo was taken for Christopher on the ferry.

Christopher started taking photos between his feet

while reclining in a long chair, a lot of them, a bit

everywhere. So I started to do that too and send

them back to him

First fire of the season

 

Saturday 7 June

 

Tonight we made our first fire.

It was lovely to toast our feet by it.

 

Our 49y Anniverasy

Wednesday 4 June

 

We are celebrating our

49y Anniversary

 

Enjoying a glass of Champagne

 



 

Preparing our diner

Oysters, the only thing from the sea that

Claude eat.

 



 

Fillet, peppered and later cooked in butter

(not a weight watchers meal)

 

salad with toasted pine nuts

 

pommes noisette cooking

 

Caramel macadamia tart (bought one)

 

Claude left it up to me either:

go out to a restaurant or eat at home.

 

Lately I do not like going out at night

to restaurant...I cannot be bother to dress up

and go out in the dark.

So I decide a nice meal at home.

We planned an easy meal, which we enjoyed very much

 

and we drank the whole bottle too!

 

 



Jo playing Hockey

Sunday 1 June

 

It rained all night, I thought the game

will be cancelled, but no.

We arrived at Ku Ring Gai hight school

just a bit before Jo.

We are there to mind the 3 children

while she play.

Vivid, Sydney

This is the second time that I do this blog.

2 days ago we lost the Internet and it

only just came back.

When we lost it I was almost finished with this blog

(a similar one, I hope)

and I lost all the work.

So here to try again.

 

Tuesday 27 May

 

We took the Mosman ferry to the city.

From Circular quay we took the ferry

to Darling Harbour.

 

Sydney is once again having a lights show,

Laser lights on buildings.

 

 

Luna Park from the ferry going to Darling Harbour.

Darling Harbord,

there is a light show on the roof of the

maratime museum

and the Star Casino

 



 

laser and fountains show

 

 

From where we were sited having diner we

saw the whole movie light show on the roof of the museum

over and over again.

It was good because if we missed something

we could see it next time around.

 

then we took the ferry back to Circular Quay

 

 

The Vivid cruise ship, taking people who don't

want to walk around.

But it was a very mild night and the walk and

The crowd was enjoyable.

 



light show on the Museum of Modern Art

 



 

 some fun activities for the children.

 



 

 

light show on the facade of the Old Custom House

 

 

and last the Opera House

 

We had a very late night as we missed the 10pm

ferry back to Mosman and had to wait to 11pm,

then the drive back home.

 



Joshua birthday party

Sunday 25 May

 

Joshua is turning 3 y ears today.

 

 Jo is at a hockey game so we went

and help Shane carry the food in our

car to the park where the party is

going to be.

I gave Joshua is present...

What a disappointment.

Amelia said:

ANOTHER FIRE ENGINE!

So we whisked it back to our car

to be exchanged for a bulldozer.

 

All that food and more still in the containers.

Jo has made blue jelly with shark fin

sticking out, cup cakes, chocolate crackles,

honey joy etc

and Shane made some fairies bread this morning.

Children of all ages still like fairies bread.

Table cloth, serviettes, glasses and plates were

all black. Joshua is having a

Pirate party.

and here is the pirate minus the hat and sword

and hook and eye patch.

too much going on and I forgot to

take photos.

 

catching up bubbles

teeth lollies were a success so was the snakes.

Shane organised some games.

a type of musical chairs but theses were islands

a type of duck duck goose

I forgot what they were saying.

Joshua waiting his turn.

 

Jo went to a lot of efforts to make a lovely cake.

A treasures chest.

But the poor cake did not survive the transportation,

Claude took a turn a bit toooooo fast.

cutting of the cake

 

It still tasted good
