Roast lamb and pav

We picked up Rob's mother from Sydney airport yesterday afternoon so she can enjoy a first time great grandma visit to baby Ella for a few weeks. Rob and I drove up to Coogee for the third weekend in a row - loving the break in our busy work week that this makes for us.

Another Sydney Saturday morning - this time a longer walk part way through the Waverly cemetery before it got too difficult negotiating the 70cm wide path while having to constantly stand aside for all the huffing, panting Eastern suburbs joggers (and their designer dogs).

Rob did the handyman thing again, painting our new back door while I washed windows and walls of many years of accumulated grime. The white painted slat blinds will be the next challenge.

Picking up Rob's mum made us realise how much more difficult everything is in Sydney: which terminal? which car park? where are arrivals? oh my god, the parking costs $20.00!

Lunch with baby Ella and J&J today in Canberra was special although Ella was feeling a bit "fragile" today and saved her dazzling smiles and killer, coy looks until she was just about to go home. I guess she knew all along she wasn't getting any of the roast lamb and pav. and thought she'd let us know how she felt about it! Jody said Ella had gained 250gr in the last 2 weeks and is now 64cm long!

It is big O's 3rd b'day today. We are all looking forward to the jungle fever party next week.

Airports are always great for a laugh. Barcelona: two baggage claims! Make the mistake of going to the wrong one and you are forced to navigate back through the departure lounge and again through the x-ray scanners - all the while fretting about whether your bag has been relocated to the lost and found!
