Sydney - December 2022

I met Alex and we did one of my favourite walks from Clontarf to Manly. Lovely clear day..

There is a new section to the art gallery in Sydney. It was good.

View to Woolloomooloo...

North Entrance Beach on a ride one day...

From The Entrance Bridge looking to The Entrance...

Another day I cycled twice around Narrabeen Lake. Sunny but cool...

One day I met Alex and we had a beer overlooking Collaroy Beach, near where she lives. The water was so nice and clear...

Getting ready for Christmas...

Had a great family Christmas at Berkeley Vale...

I transplanted some clivia's from Pymble to Berkeley Vale for this garden bed...

It won't take them long to settle in...

I went with Eliza and Leo for a bush walk in North Wahroonga...

Finally my stuff arrived from Hong Kong...

The moving company wanted hundreds of dollars to take the empty boxes away. So I put them on Facebook Marketplace and they were gone within 24 hours!

Picnic Point Reserve at The Entrance...

On Christmas morning we established a new tradition. Up at 5:30am to see the sunrise, a beer and a shot, then a ride to The Entrance!

Eliza got up too and jogged part of the way...

We found the only cafe open on Christmas morning!

The kids with Leo and his cousin...

One day we hired a boat at The Entrance. It was very windy...

Another day we drove to Wollombi for lunch. Drove past Bucketty where we spent many great times...

Callum is attacking the overgrown grass between us and the lake. It was very hard work.

And just like that, another year was gone!

Sydney - November 2022

On 1 November I headed back to Sydney. I was lucky enough to get an Asia Miles flight in Premium Economy.

On 2 November, Callum had his final HSC exam. So we went to lunch to celebrate!

Chai latte...

Steak sandwich!

I spent some time at Berkeley Vale.

One of my chores was varnishing the deck. This is what it looked like before...

And after three coats...

I bought a car! Love it.

I drove past my Umina Beach house one day as I wanted to see the house they had built next door...

Home made potato salad!

Getting back into cycling around the lake. This is Long Jetty...

And I finally (in Chatswood) found condensed milk in a tube...

So I can make Thai Milk Tea!
