Well the boys and I went for our first picnic with other Mums in the park.
Centennial Park is huge. It is just South of the harbour and is a massive green space with lakes and tropical plants. The birds you see are ibis'. They are the oz version of a duck??? and are everywhere. At first we couldnt stop looking, Now we dont even notice them. Grand Drive in Centennial Park travels as a circumference aound the park and is almost 4km. The Sydneysiders are fitness obsessed and run and do aerobics and yoga all over this place. As I arrived in the park after a half hour walk from our house there were Mums everywhere running with their pushchairs. They were immaculate, lycra clad, no sweat, ipods on, crazy. I quickly said to Ollie to run as Mums in the park must have to do this. I tried to immitate this mad crowd. After a few hundred metres, sweating and gasping I admitted defeat and accepted that walking was the only thing possible!.
This is Lindy, who is married to the Gavin, the brother of a good friend of Nicks from med school. It has been wonderful to get to know a lovely lady who has a little girl, Gemma, the same age as Edward. We also have had a BBQ over at their house as they only live around the corner from us. Pam Wertheim, Mikes mum is also her from Cape Town and Pam, Lindy and Gemma came over for some lunch today. Yippee some adult conversation.
And Ed chilling out!
Only a garden spider apparently but it was big and its web was like a metre wide.
