Started the day off with brunch with Waz @ Straits Kaffe in the Motto building, Erskineville
I read the paper for a little bit while Steve called his folks in Melbourne (his 78 year old mother had fallen a couple of days previously at their holiday home @ Phillip Island and broken her arm, poor thing) then I napped while Steve constructed the remaining drawers of his IKEA TV entertainment unit, after which we put some more of the actual unit together before...

... we caught the train from St Peters (see immediately below) to Manly for a birthday dinner at the 16ft Skiff Club (with the world's most stressed and rude doorman who initially wouldn't let us in due to a capacity crowd watching the World Cup inside) for Steve's old work friend, Ann who along with her partner, Jeff, is absolutely delightful. Steve once worked with most of the guests, all part of a project years ago where they became quite close, and they were all so friendly, warm and welcoming. It became quite obvious why they got on so well.
We drank lots of wine, caught the ferry there and back (on the way back with Gary and Janet, and another Jeff), enjoyed the peace and calm of being out on the Harbour, had some brilliant, conversations, and got home very late (try 1 a.m.) from an awesomely enjoyable night.
