The party never ends....

The festival of Flo continued this weekend with a party that almost had to be cancelled. On Friday night we all had dinner at Suzie and Damien's but didn't get to bed until 10pm. About an hour later Flo started crying on and off and was generally unsettled. By 2am she was awake and crying and absolutely burning up with a fever complete with hallucinations and wild thrashing. We tried to bring the fever down with Panadol, but in her confusion she spat it out. I stayed with her until 6.30am as she slept on and off fitfully, before finally going back into a quiet deep sleep until 9am. When she woke she seemed absolutely fine and had no recollection of the night's events, so we decided to go ahead with the party. So at 2pm all the Godparents and assorted children came over for cake, a game of Twister and pin the horn on the unicorn. Chaos reigned and I was quite glad when everyone left so I could clean up!

During the course of the party James and Amelia invited us to spend Sunday morning with them on the harbour in their speedboat. We woke to a beautiful perfect Sydney day and met the Neales at 10am at Rose Bay where they picked us up at the ferry wharf.

We had an absolute blast zooming around the harbour, heading up past the heads, under the spit bridge and up into middle harbour towards Roseville. We stopped for a swim off a secluded beach before zooming to Balmoral for a fish and chip lunch and a swim. We continually marvelled at the thousands of incredible waterfront homes that dot every nook and cranny of Sydney harbour, wondering how there can be so much incredible wealth in this city.

Here Amelia and Rob throw their heads back and roar with laughter as they ponder what the poor people are doing.

This is Flo and Oscar catching a few Zs as we bumped through the water.
This house, Altona, used to be owned by my first boss in Sydney and we once went to a brilliant party here.

After lunch, we had a quick zoom around the Opera house and it was time to head back to Rose Bay so we wouldn't be late for Ella's 5th birthday party at Bondi. It was one of those brilliant Sydney days that remind us why this is the most beautiful city in the world. Scarlett declared it "the best day of my life!"
