THEY'RE HERE.

The parents have landed (well mine have).

So we though we'd do what we always 

seem to do and have a BBQ.

Ahhhhhh.

Ooooo.

So lovely.

JUST AN AVERAGE SUNDAY.

We'd been out the night before (a meal at my Boss's place) 

and were feeling a little delicate and slightly hung over,

 we needed some sun and something nice to eat. 

We jumped on a bus and 10 minutes up the road is Neilsen Park.

As we arrived we saw this sea gull. 

Notice anything strange about him.

Maybe a wooden spike through his shoulder. 

No wonder he's saying ouch.

Calire can't believe what she sees. 

We went to help but the little bugger flew away.

We hope he's ok.

So after some TLC we went for a stroll. Up a path. 

And found a house.

Quite an old house.

This is the view to the left.

Claire finds a little path.

So we go down it.

Look what she's found.

An amazing beach.

With an amazing view.

A happy Ben.

An ecstatic Claire.

Lots of lovely rocks.

And lovely water.

Not bad for a Sunday afternoon stroll.

Hello

Hey guys, thanks for the invite to join your blog! Loves the pics of Wagstaffe. Hope Claires black eyes are getting better. You didn't walk into a door did you? Take care S xx

BUBBLY AND GRUB IN BONDI

I was having a few schooners in Surry Hills with the G-Man when he suddenly remembered we were meant to be in Bondi for dinner.

So when Claire joined us, we jumped in a cab and met Ian, Cat and Gareth (old mates from BBH).

Gaz having a little tipple.

I'll have what he's having.

I'll have what she's having.

(which means I'll have what he's having)

Cheers.

What are you doing G?

MY POOR CLAIRE.

It is actually getting better. 

But poor little Claire is still not a happy bunny.

She's still the most beautiful woman in the world though. 

SYDNEY MARDI GRAS 2009

Ahhh, the girls getting ready.

The results of the curlers and a trowel of make-up.

Nice tutus. The SJP Uniform.

The 'Sexy' and the City float. Claire and Kat 

are 2nd and 3rd from the front.

And here they are leaving us.

No, it wasn't Ben. Here, I took one for the gays.  Some idiot -

before we had even started - launched a bottle into the 

performance area and I was in the wrong place at the wrong

time. But ... the show must go on.

A WEDNESDAY NIGHT BBQ.

You know how it is.... 

You're sitting around, looking across at 

the bridge ....

.. down the jetty....

You think, why don't we have a BBQ.

Then loads of people turn up...

Ok it wasn't that easy, but it sort of was.

Ben and the Bear.

Danny, Tash and Liz.

Gaz and Cand are also in town. 

And the rest of the gang. (Kat what are you doing.)

Ahh isn't everyone lovely.

THE RED BUILDING.

A quick one.

This is our flat looking from Double Bay. 

Its the one in the centre of the shot. 

We're 4 floors down from the top.

Miss ya's.

PRETTY BEACH NEAR WOY WOY.

So after Palm Beach we went to meet Sidonie and John. 

And her uncle and Aunt. And her friends. At her uncle's place. 

In Pretty Beach Near Woy Woy.

We got lost. And then worked out where we were going.

 Then got lost again.

We arrived with only minutes to shower and change 

before we went out to the local pub. 

For some awesome grub.

Has Sid got some horns.

After a night of alcohol and Balderdash we hit the sack. 

And woke up to these little fellows outside the window.

We then headed past Pretty Beach to..........

.......Killcare.

Ahh lovely Claire.

And the view.

13 year old life savers. Oh can you imagine 

the embarrassment if needing to be saved by them.

A blue bottle stinger. OUCH.

The gang.

The Girls.

The view as we left.
