Sydney - January 2024

Wow 2024 is here! My office was closed until 8 January so I spent the first week of the year at the lake, doing odd jobs. The upstairs deck was looking worse for wear so I re-stained it.

 

This is from the shore of the lake, looking back to the house. Note the lovely mowing!

One of the Long Jettys at Long Jetty that I rode past each day...

Had some old friends up for dinner...

Went cycling the next day...

I had a paved area that I wanted to get rid of, but was putting off doing it myself. 

So I put the pavers on Facebook Marketplace for free, and some guys came and took them. Now I just have to get rid of the concrete border and turf...

I cycled 20 km every day over the Christmas New Year break, except for New Year's Day, as it was a bit windy. So on 2 January, I did 30 km!

I'm gradually getting the garden under control...

And Callum is helping me with Telegraph Road...

My sister brought this back from Boston and I still have it!

One night I met my sister for a drink at Maybe Sammy which was recently voted the world's top bar.

Maybe Sammy has been named as the world’s most influential bar by taking out the #1 spot in the Top 500 Bars 2023 awards.

Had a swim at Toowoon Bay one day...

I found a cool bar in Wyong called Jerry sent me...

Preparing for the new turf...

I got 9 rolls delivered....

Turns out I needed 12!

Got some tenants for Australia Day so made the house up...

Gorgeous day at The Entrance...
