Sydney with Mum

I have been having a lovely time here in Sydney with Mum. She arrived on Tuesday (it is now Sunday) . Reece was here and cooked some lovely fish for dinner.he then left early Wednesday morning to meet up with Ray and the caravan and have a few days travelling. They headed west and visited Lee , Rays son who works out at Cubbie Station. Reece found it very interesting to see the workings of the huge irrigation property.
Meantime, here in Sydney Mum and I have seen Jo and kids each day, either at a park, or there place or they have visited here. It has been gorgeous to be around them more and to see them with their Gigi. However, Emily is taking a bit longer to warm to her, and of course if Jo is around she is the only one who is special.....Lucas has been lovely and given her kisses.
We have done something each day. I have the little faded red 13 year old Barina to drive and feel pretty confident now getting about. we had a long drive around the beaches, Watson bay etc. which was nice. We babysat on Wednesday night. Emily very good and went off to sleep,li
Ke a gem. Lucas on the other hand decided to stay up till all hours. Normally he would go to bed like a treat, but he was so sweet and we read stories and lots of special cuddles on the couch. Jo and Rich went out eating and boozing....good on them. Thurs was Anzac Day. I watched a lot of the Sydney march on the TV. It was a huge march. Then we had lunch at The Spot in Randwick,and went to a movie, The Company You Keep with ageing Robert Redford. It was actually really good. Then we met up in the park with the Ryan's for a short time, then home and bed.
Friday we babysat as Jo had a first aid course at Newington College where she has a full time job in third semester teaching year 1. So I went over early then came and picked up,Mum later the off to the park for a big run and play. Fri night Jo and I went to see Warhorse at the Lyric theatre at Star City. Fantastic production and amazing how they had three people to operate the horses . Mum gave me the tickets for my birthday which is next week.......61....
Saturday we went to Camperdown antique shop. Mum had been very keen to find a replacement glass light shade for a bronze lamp she has. We had a lovely time looking at the beautiful bits and bobs and of course Mum always the shopper managed to find some treasures. AND very excited we found a shade. So she is very happy. Early dinner last at jo's last night. She cooked really yummy corned beef which she had never done before. Rich had gone off to Black Sabbath concert. Now it is Sunday morning and I better get up as we are off to brekkie at the cafe in Centennial Park. Auntie Diney is coming too.
Weather has been beautiful, sunshine, ocean flat and gorgeous. The apartment is fab as we have two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and plenty of space, nice balcony, very secure and parking.

Better get going.
