Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 105: Fush n chups!

Off to physio to get back fixed - Mitch did an awesome job - and treated myself to a rare bought lunch at Alexandria seafoods on the way back ... ate it while I watched Ellen ...

And watched the sixth last episode of Warehouse 13 with Aidan ... great ep. but sad it's ending :(

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 335 - Happy Birthday week finish!

After spending the day at Steve's, we drove back to Erko (via some old buildings in Dulwich Hill about to knocked down to build a new apartment block: makes me sad as I have seen them a lot since Steve moved here almost 5 years ago and Dulwich Hill won't look the same without them) ...

to grab some fish 'n' chips in Alexendria before heading over to Sydney Park with picnic rug, and some wine (and this year no wind!) to mark the tradtional end of my birthday week.

It was a magical, perfect night - the food and wine were great, the view beautiful and the company the absolute, most wonderful best. I love Steve so much and spending this night with him was sublime.

And to top the day off, some fab shots of Bodhi at a church Christmas celebration day in Alstonville ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 307 - Sculptures by the Sea ... and "I'm MELTING!"

Finally made it to Sculptures by the Sea (which runs from Tamarama Beach to Bondi Beach), parking at Clovelly Bowling Club and walking past Bronte Beach to start the walk at Tamarama.

Not the best year with a lack of the colourful, quirky sculptures of old but still fun and we really enjoyed ourselves, bar the intense 33C heat (thank goodness for sunscreen!) and LOVED the complimentary A/C Hyundai car rides back tom Tamarama from Bondi, which meant we only had a sort 10 minute walk back to Fahmi's car which was wonderful because we were tired and hot and ready for lunch.

Ingo captured this HOT guy on the way back to the car at Bronte Beach ...

Stopped off at Clovelly Bowling Club (where Ian has his birthdays) for chips and ginger beer before trying to park at Coogee for fish 'n' chips where there wasn't a place to park at all and so we headed to the fish 'n' chips place @ Alexandria and ate lunch at Erko oval.

We left the guys to drive home from there and walked back down Mitchell Road before driving back to Steve's place for the rest of the day which thankfully included a nap ...

It was also Aidan's birthday so we made the last minute decision to see what he was doing - home alone watching TV after getting back from Canberra - so we shouted him pizzas, wine and Connoisseur Murray River Salted Caramel ice creams, on which we jauntily placed a candle and made the night as special as we could for him.
