Chinaman's Beach and Balmoral with Elna

 So lovely to catch up with Elna after we both spent time in Cape Town.

Balmoral with Elna

Always lovely to catch up with Elna. We had brunch at The Boat House and then a swim in the ocean.

Seeing in the New Year (2023)

A wonderful, spontaneous New Year's party at my place.  My home really is in the perfect location for New Year in Sydney.  We met up here for a lovely dinner. Then, we ambled to Larkin Street where I had pitched a tent earlier and so we had some space and a lovely view to enjoy the 9 pm fireworks. We returned to my place for Elna's delicious trifle and dancing.  Then back to the fireworks for a spectacular midnight display.  A very special way to see in 2023.

An absolutely amazing Indian meal at Delhi O' Delhi in Newtown.

La Perouse walk with Elna and the boys

Srini's fractured foot is still fragile so we did an easy, flat walk along the coast. Elna joined us which was really lovely and we bumped into James - the chances of which are a billion to one!  The king tide made for some very impressive waves.  We ended up at Maroubra Pool for a lovely refreshing dip.
