Sunday was visiting day. Our friends, Gail and Pat (now of Brisbane), formerly of Glebe where Barre lived when on sabbitcal in 1997, were in the Sydney and they had time in the morning to have a short visit over a cuppa. Thanks to previous emails, they knew we would be in Sydney while we were here.
Later we went to visit Surrey's sister just north of the city, and had a picnic lunch with the family, including his two sister's, their families, Geoff and Ellen and Rod and the boys. There were four young children present which added to the activity, and pleasure of the visit. We did a lot of people watching, also, as the small harbor boats were going up and down the Parrametta River, which is really part of the harbor at this point. One can commute to work on the river in these boats, not just be a sightseer.
Monday is "relax" day, as Surrey had to make his visit to the hospital. Actually, three of us can relax, but Betty had to go to work at UTS after bringing Surrey home. She has a lecture to give late this afternoon, to all the freshmen students beginning their first semester at the "uni"in the engineering major. Barre has almost finished reading the Bill Bryson book, and I am still working on the quilt for charity, making good progress.
I am in charge of "supper hour" for us, as Betty will be giving her lecture around 5pm !
