I created my new background when I was on my netbook, the screen being smaller, not sure yet if I like the surfer theme. I wish I could figure out how to put my own background graphic on here.

Last Thursday I headed up the Pacific Highway to Emerald Beach
and stayed a couple of days with my sister,
Cathy and brother-in-law, Greg.

It was a quick trip as I was due back to work on Tuesday
after the long weekend.

Friday, we bought some fish 'n chips and had them
on an outside table overlooking the yachts

Cathy and I
then onto Coffs Harbour Yacht club for a quiet drink
before heading back to Emerald to get in
out of the wind. Brrr.

I think I have got over my disappointment on missing out on going to the Sydney Film Festival on Sunday, woke up not feeling the best, headache and aches and pains, I ended up sleeping the afternoon away. The festival is on for another 5 days so will see how I go.

Today, I received a call from youngest son, Michael to say he had the day off and thought he would drop in for a visit. 3 hours later his old room was finally cleared of his clutter, the paper shredder running at full bore getting rid of old papers, receipts etc. and then he hopped up onto the roof and cleared the gutters for me. He left taking the last of his stuff from his room and and will be back to collect what was left in the garage. Yay.

traveled down to Sydney today to have morning tea
at Pancakes on the Rocks, in The Rocks district
with son, daughter and son-in-law.
It was Nicholas' birthday
Photobucket
Here he is with his new camera. Very swish.

We walked along the water's edge at Circular Quay
Photobucket
and I couldn't resist taking this photo
of the Sydney Opera House.

Later after Nicholas had left to meet up with friends,
we stopped by for coffee and croissant at Baroque's.

Across the road was The Rocks' Farmer's Market
in George Street.

Plenty of tourists around.

Before I left to go home I checked out the
Dendy Opera Quay's cinema

where tomorrow I will return to attend to see
the film "The Last Train Home".
