Those were the days

I put this as the title because of hubby. There is a house down the street from us that seem to be leased by several young men. In the front of the house are two or three or more cars, maybe one up on blocks with the tyres off. There are also two motor bikes, and on Friday afternoon when we come home the boys are standing outside with beer cans in their hands. They are doing boy things like kicking tyres and smoking and being generally loud with loud music blaring out into the street. To hubby, who lived in a similar place during his university years it seems like heaven. He has very fond memories of having shared houses with people., and when he talks about it it always ends "those were the days".

I have never had this experience and when he goes on about it I don't quite get it. Maybe it's an Aussie  thing!

Saturday we went to the Opera House to see a play called Vere. It was wonderfully sad but also very funny, brilliant and thought provoking. It is about a physicist who gets Alzheimer and ....... well, I won't tell you any more in case you get a chance to see it. It is based on a true story, I learnt that later when I read the program.

Hubby is trying to make a little video here of me sending
greetings to a friend in France, but it took a few tries.

In the theatre next to us there was a kiddie play about Angelina Ballerina. There were lots of little girls all dressed up in tutus, very cute!

You have to be very careful when
taking pictures of little kids. I waited
and waited until finally she turned her
back.

This is actually hubby but he melts in to the
bridge foundation very well, doesn't he.

After the theatre we met up with J, our son, in Kirribilli and had Thai dinner and then we went down to get some shots over the harbor but from the other side of the bridge.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law and two of her boys came up from Melbourne. So far we have only eaten, talked, dipped in the pool, and played Upwords, but soon, manjana, we'll  go somewhere, do something.

It is pretty hot today +34°C so you don't feel like making too much of an effort. I think I will offer some ice cream soon to my house guests, it is really very hot, but not this one, I don't think!

A Swedish expression that my grandmother always used when  for example she was putting jam on an already sugared cake or something said loosely translated 'One good thing does not ruin another good thing'. I think these ice-cream makers are working on this principle too.
