It's that crazy time again just before Christmas. Traffic is appalling, shopping is a disaster, parking aggressive, people are stressed out, I am sure you get my drift.
We have had a few very hot days, up around +35°, but right now it looks like it is going to rain.
Yesterday, at hubby's end-of-year work party the weather didn't look very promising at first but then it turned out ok. It was held at the picnic grounds at Woronora Dam, a hidden little treasure.
I have left my painting gear at my art teacher's studio so I won't be tempted to do any painting now when we so desperately need to look for another house. One of the girls at the bbq yesterday told me that they looked at 20 houses a week before they found the one they finally bought. Real-estate prices here in Sydney are ridiculous so we are looking outside the city, to the south mainly.
Another lovely outing was with my friend A. She introduced me to the the Boat house restaurant, across the water from the Sydney fish market. It was a lovely fish restaurant though quite pricey. I think we'll keep it for special occasions.

Let's think, what else have we been up to. Well, there was the end of the year lunch with my painting group which was held in a golf club and was very nice.

We were also invited to a dinner cruise in Sydney Harbour on the Sydney Showboats. It was sponsored in part by ANSTO where hubby works. The speeches were kept to a minimum, the food was good and drinks abundant. The show wasn't too bad either so, all in all, a nice evening out.

Next time I'll be writing here will probably be in 2018. Time is just going so quickly. Do you remember the end of 1999 when we where fretting over what would happen when we turned the page to 2000?
Take care now and have fun with family and friends. That's what it is all about, isn't it!
