News Sydney

Hi readers, I have just checked the log and found the picture has come through but none of the dialogue I had written .... Bummer

So I am now still lying in bed, it is 0730 , just had a cuppa. It has been drizzling most of the night but it is actually very warm and a bit humid. So no need for too many blankies. My wool Donna is perfect. We are settled at the Lane Cove River Tourist Park. It is a national park so we are in lovely bushland right in the middle of Sydney. Very reasonable at $34 per night but if you stay seven nights you get one free. It works out to $210 per week... Not bad. We can afford that!!!!! So it takes 25 mins to Jo house . Turn right at the end of the street then a short way and onto the freeway that goes directly into the Lane Cove Tunnel then straight under the harbour in another tunnel and we pop up in Randwick just near Moore Park. So it is very easy and a straight run. The round trip cost $12 with the tolls. So Jo started work yesterday and our babysitting starts tomorrow . Am doing an extra day as wed girl is stuck in KL with plane problems. Thurs and Fri are work days... No they are fun days with Lucas and Emily... And we will be able to pack up and potter off somewhere. We will stay in Sydney this weekend then the following maybe go to Canberra. See how Reece is feeling. Wee business is all good now, he just looks so pale and pretty tired still. So I must be patient.
We had lunch with Auntie Diney and her friend Bobbie yesterday in Mosman. Four Frogs is a crepe restaurant run by four Frenchmen. Diana is good fun, I enjoy her company . Reece and I are getting pretty good at finding our way around. I like Mosman.... Have spoken with Sal Melloco but she is away next week to Europe for 5 weeks so not sure if we will catch up.
Saw Kelly and Beau with their little baby Mia on the weekend. She is the little one in the photo on the blog. She is a cutie. Lucas and Emily very sweet with her and seem very grown up next to her. We all had a lovely time together. Poor old Rich is recovering from a wog. He was very unwell a couple of weeks ago, the Dr thought he might have pneumonia but X-ray is neg. he is on the mend.
I have the knitting bug.am k it ting a vest for Lucas. And have just done a cute cardi for Mia Riley. Anth I have a couple of very easy and quick patterns I will send you.
