The Galvins came to Sydney this weekend. For the last 10 years, we have visited them at their home in Bundeena. Our new house is the first one we have lived in big enough to accommodate our growing brood (we are now 8) and so this was our first chance to pay them back for all their generosity over the years. The weather was spectacular and after pizza for the kids, they were variously put to bed and in front of DVDs while the we got on with the job of eating, drinking and playing Triv - the girls won. On Sunday we managed a subdued (sore heads) day with the girls all playing beautifully together, while we sat about reading the paper and lolling on the grass in the park.
Slightly horrified this morning when chatting to our lovely neighbour Kirsty. They were all away for the weekend and missed our pavement handwork. Not long into the conversation Kirsty revealed the cement slab we ruined was paid for by them, to the tune of $300 and is part of the compulsary work they have to complete before their recent renovation will be approved by the local council. Oops.
