Mixed Tape of Summer 08

Too much fun to write about in complete detail - so consider this the Mixed Tape of Summer 08.
Shortly after New Years we had Aimee and Dangas come and stay with us - Aimee and I discovered just how easy it was to make Daquaries - and we absolutely perfected the Mango Daquarie!

Aimee is a top class burger maker (too bad they may have caused Dangas to spend the rest of the trip in the bathroom).

We headed down to check out the harbour on a beautiful Sydney day anyways...

And we took Tony with us for an excersion.

The following weekend Molly came and stayed with us for her first trip to Sydney.

We took her out on the town and we went to the Minus 5 Ice Bar.

We also went up Sydney Tower and walked through Hyde Park up to do some shopping on Oxford St.

I visited the family and new puppy in Lethy... her name is Chips... but I think that Imelda would be a far better name as she has a thing for shoes.

Also caught up with the crew for Thommo's birthday.

Went down to the Geelong foreshore on Australia Day where we saw some Swing Dancing...

And where Allyson swung with a Dinosaur...

If you thought the Oarsome Foursome were good... you ain't seen nothin' until you've seen the Grewsome 2Some.

Mum visisted! Queen's Birthday long weekend

I know I've been a very bad blogger - so I thought I'd give you all a few updates!

First of all - Mum came to visit! And we had a fabulous time, despite Murray working all long weekend and it being the worst weather I've experienced in Sydney!

On Friday just after she arrived at the airport we went off to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert at Star Casino. It was every bit as funny as the movie and then some. The costumes were fantastic!!!

On Saturday we went to The Rocks Market, which Mum has always wanted to see. We managed to stay dry and check out the Opera House and Circular Quay.

After lunch the weather was just too awful to do anything much at all. So we jumped on the Ferry and took a return trip out to Watsons Bay. It was so wet and cold we didn't get out - not even for Doyles! I have since been back to Watsons Bay though. To give you an idea of what the weather was like though...

It fined up on the way home though where we got a good view of the Opera House and city.

We went out for a nice dinner down at Manly on Saturday night - seafood of course! (yukko!)

I can't remember what we did the rest of the weekend.... this is why I need to update my blog more! Oh I know! We went up to the Blue Mountains to visit some friends! Leura was lovely. :)
