Countdown to Christmas part 1





Rob's cousin Susie, husband John and their children Annabelle (10) and Amelia (5 and 3/4) arrived from Melbourne on Monday after a two day drive. After a huge amount of unpacking of their car, which revealed that they had left the kitchen sink at home after all, we set about catching up, cracking open some festive wine and beer and watching the children outstare each other for a bit. Once everyone was comfortable Scarlett and Amelia soon become joined at the hip and Annabelle got stuck into her huge library of books.  With the weather hotting up and with eager sightseers in tow we got the bus into the city - an adventure in itself - had a walk around the Opera House before hopping on the ferry across to Manly for fish and chips on the beach. Results: humans 5, seagulls 2.
