your ma is sitting next to me in cafe and will join in!
we were due to go to Watson Bay on the ferry and have a F&C lunch at iconic Doyle's Restaurant but believe i not postponed due to rain and winds plus over cast. Hence we are going to a gastro pub in Kings X for a meal locally
we have settled into lifestyle and do little other read and have barbies and glass of wine .
We met the hfd backpacker yesterday - the Robinson's daughter she is skin and bone and slurred mentally - i noted her teeth - no guessing the problem . Little wonder her folk were so keen for us to look after a little here as they must be worried . Nicola he name is looking for a job in Sydney but there are so many backpackers that it is not easy and apparently hostels are expensive.
We don't really wan to get involved but only here for another week so will see and give arms length support.
I will send you photos soon - we have a stunning panoramic view over harbour from 17th floor - the place is like Fort Knox -with concierge 24 hours and t v cameras. The chap who owns is in Perth - first grandchild - he was employed for BHP Billiton and based in London and Brussels for 12 years. He loved to go to Redcar in days of British Steel and stay in a country pub. The place of books on antiques and painters - your ma is plowing thru lot - scanning everyday.
We are next to an Anglican school and kids wear navy blue gymslips and white blouses and black shoes and reminded me of Anne and Christine 50 years ago other than the boaters although they may wear.
I hear it is snowing in UK again -what a winter
