We have had an action-packed weekend that started with Jillian's 40th birthday ladies lunch at Susie's house. 8 of us sat down to prawns, oysters and champagne over several hours. As school pick up time approached various husbands were called to ferry children and themselves to the lunch. We left at 5pm as Rob had to go to work, but I understand the lunch continued until 10pm when a fleet of taxis delivered everyone home.
On Saturday we had James and Amelia and Susie and Damien for dinner, an event so funny and entertianing I forgot to take any pictures. Sunday was Anzac Day and as the weather had turned cold and wet we wrapped ourselves up and had a slow walk from our house to Revolver for lunch stopping at 2 parks there and back for a long play for the girls and a chance for Rob and I to chat. Now that we have made our decision to move back to the UK, we keep second guessing ourselves. We seem to be having a much more wonderful than usual time with our friends and have also seen a house we really like the look of in Leichhardt. One minute we are sure, the next we are not. I won't be sorry to see the back of my job but it's the great school and school community that is hard to leave. Monday was a bank holiday so after a party for Charlie next door we had Christian and Emma and their kids plus Nic and Yoko for lunch. It ended at about 7.30pm when there was no more wine or champagne left to drink. In the space of a whole afternoon the kids had been offered the same bowl of pasta for lunch and dinner, bribed with sweets to sit quietly in front of a DVD, had been bathed and then finally they went potty jumping about the place while the grown ups danced and sang. The picture below is the before shot, the one above, the after shot.
