we were unfortunately jaded after flight and temperate change to 30+ but we still enjoyed the buzz - Sydney is a fantastic experience and never fails to impress - infectious.
The place was alive with street market here in Rocks and stages with pop concerts in all the parks . We couldn't get back to the cottage as there was a Samoan Christian choir across the street singing and dancing.
Chris will remember - literally hundreds of events from Tall ships to air display and firework display. Patriotism high as everyone was wearing Aussie T shirts including kids with national flag.
We again went out about midnight and there we people about with babies in prams and others sitting on grass opposite Opera House in glorious weather - a few fell in harbour and had to be rescued by police. The Manley ferry appeared to be full and running late after midnight.
There are plenty of God's creatures here - you have to wear shoes in kitchen due to cockroaches dead or alive as well as ants and the mosquito's - i am like a pin cushion and your ma has none!
The neighbours are friendly - the chap next door was a " 5 pound pommie" as my father in 50's but my mother would not leave granny and Mary. He was a glass engraver but interesting as all expats want to speak about is England and their youth and families . He is going over to UK Hackney for family wedding and said the couple were coming to Australia on honeymoon - they are returning together on the same plane.
June is coming over for coffee this morning so we shall go out as there are many within a few minutes of here .
Your ma is sticking to salad diet and we go for strenuous walks daily. Should be quick results!
We get BBC world news and weather in Ottawa today -14 - it is much warmer in Seattle -in fact there is a shortage of snow for winter Olympic in Vancouver - too much in Europe .
We are enjoying tennis from Melbourne .
