Last week when I was going to take hubby to work our windscreen was covered in this. It was like an alien had tried to draw us a map of how to get to his planet. But in fact it must have been the cockatoos again, they are just wild here in the morning.
Yesterday my SIL and her two boys went back to Melbourne after a great week here. Last minute we managed to go to the Menai craft market and then they set off for the long drive back.
Hubby and myself went to the annual party for his work. It was in a great spot called the Castle in Oatley park. We didn't know this place but it was quite close to where we live.There were lots of little children, the youngest only three weeks old. Hubby had a great time instructing the children about strategy with the water guns, and together with another 45+ "boy" they taunted the kids and then subsequently had to defend themselves against the kids. The kids were too many and took them down, I think. It looked like great fun and everybody got soaked.
I had a great time with the some of the moms, as you can see.
One good thing about Australian parks and pick nick spots is that they always have barbecue facilities and they are usually kept in good condition. So you can always throw a few "snags" on the barbie.
Jamie Oliver, aka hubby, trying to cook with his eyes closed it seems.
The day before we met up with only son at the Swedish end of the year party. It was great to catch up with some of the Swedish girls I have met in the past and to buy Swedish candy, yum. Unfortunately the food had run out so instead of having lunch there we went to a beach called Collaroy and had lunch smack on the beach, it was divine.
I don't know if you can see the details of hubby's shirt. It was made by his sister, and it has little trains on it. It will definitely be up there with the favorites together with the one he got from eldest daughter this summer. It was from Senegal and has little atoms on it. Stay put for a photo of him wearing that one next time it is casual Friday at work.
It was a busy week, we also fitted in going to Paddington Market. It is a great market and I think I will try to go more often.
When SIL is visiting we always try to do some painting as well and this time was no exception.
She is working on a commission and it is from Cyprus, so very vivid colors.
We also managed to find time to go to a Renaissance concert. We have friends from Grenoble who sing in a choir in Bundeena led by a Dutch opera singer, Desiree Regina, and they had invited us. It was really very nice and my SIL and myself, who were the only ones going, thoroughly enjoyed it. I was quite glad though, that we didn't "force" the boys into coming. It wouldn't have been their cup of tea.
I really can't put it off any longer. I have to strip beds and get laundry going and the other Monday chores so, take care and more next Monday!
