the weekend: I helped break a world record. We shared the weekend with two families who came over for a BBQ lunch and then an early dinner. One of the families had a sleep-over which meant the kids had a ball and we were able to finish a conversation (and glass of wine) or two over dinner!
Sunday is our swimming day. Both the children have swimming lessons which we believe is an invaluable gift to them and they are lucky that we can give them that gift. This is a brilliant initiative from the Royal Life Saving Assoc and Uncle Toby's to fund lessons for those families can't afford lessons for their children.
Mon: a 30 minute run in the morning then off to the city for Carla's Dino Dig at the Australian Museum. We ate lunch in Hyde Park then crossed Elizabeth St for a visit to the David Jones Christmas window display. Hyde Park always makes me think of Jeannie Baker's book Millicent the illustrations of hitch I used to pore over as a child.
Tuesday: Pilates (for me!) and a trip to our local library to raid their dinosaur book collection. We have reading material for weeks to come!
Wednesday: Playgroup
Thursday: I collected B early from preschool with the promise of some "Mummy-Byron time." We ate ice-cream in Manly and headed to the find a little penguin we'd heard had made a nesting place where we could have a peek from afar.
Friday: A work-out in the morning followed by a piccolo at a new cafe in Manly then the rest of the day at home.
(I took this pic in Hyde Park, at the time oblivious to the irony that this Catholic church is at the centre of the controversy of the Royal Commission in to Child Sexual Abuse because of Cardinal George Pell's outrageous defence of confessional protocol.)

Grilled marinated (rosemary, garlic, olive oil) lamp cutlets with a roasted potatoes, a chickpea, coriander, carrot, black sesame seed salad, homemade beetroot dip and baba ganoush and homemade naan bread just to soak up all the flavours!
