Tiny Home exhibition with Shushann

 We drove out to The Hawkesbury to see an exhibition of tiny homes. Because of the astronomical price of home in Sydney, they have become quite popular.  Some of them were incredible with extremely creative use of space and lots of light.  However, I think I'll stick with my beautiful home !

Lydia's birthday lunch

A delicious birthday lunch with Lydia and her friends, some of who I hadn't met before. A lovely group of people.

Coogee for a stroll and swim with Shushann and Lydia

Always lovely to visit Shushann.  The hot weather was cooling down but we still decided to go for a swim which was invigorating.  After a while, impressive storm clouds appeared on the horizon. Stunning they were.

Frida Kahlo projected light exhibition

Wow, this was an amazing exhibition and surprisingly emotional. What an extraordinary woman she was to have lived so fully and created such vibrant art despite a horrible accident in her early years leaving her restricted and in pain for the rest of her life.

A fun part of the interactive exhibition was to see ourselves done in Frida Kahlo style!

Dancing after the exhibition

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.
