Easter 2007

While John had his luncheon with the lads, I went to the Dendy and saw - Brick Lane, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and the French film The Dinner Guest. All were good although I missed some of the jokes in the Dinner Guest as they spoke so quickly. Its been a long time since I've seen three in one day. Easter Sunday went to Cronulla and had fish and chips in the park and watched the surfers ride the waves. Today after shopping, went to Paul's Warehouse (opposite the St George Leagues Club) as its closing down and bought 3 pair runners at half price. There were many many people there, but the queue was at the check out - waited 40 mins. but saved $300.

This week

It was work for both of us this week except for Wednesday when I had a RDO. With Helen, I went to the Dendy at Circular Quay and saw two movies - Closing the Ring and the Australian movie The Black Baloon. Excellent. A quiet weekend with John going to the cricket on Saturday with Rodney and others while I did my own odds and ends. Today I planted the snow peas and footlong beans, spinach and spring onions. The seedlings of cauliflour and broccoli will be ready to replant next weekend. It was a lovely day in the garden.

Ramsgate

We went to the Portuguese food and wine fair in Petersham this afternoon to have lunch but the queues were 20 long and it was hot. So off we drove to Ramsgate beach and had an excellent lunch at Omeros.

Bombo

Last day off before returning to work

We left this morning in the rain but it became a beautiful day down in Bombo, Berry and Nowra. We always stop at Bombo for a cup of tea and watch the surf and surfers, none of them today as it was too rough. The markets are always fun and bought pears that came from a close farm, a leather belt for John, fruit cake and a money purse and of course the smell of sausages and onions drew us. The shop that sells the painted tiles was closed in Nowra so we returned home, stopping off at the Silos Estate winery for a couple of nice wines.

Last 5 days

On Wednesday I went to the Dendy at Circular Quay and saw two movies - Two Days in Paris and Bella. Enjoyed both and was going for a third (at $6.50 - senior) but thought I would be home too late. Thursday I met the ladies up at Hurstville for lunch and then another movie - The Bucket List - we all enjoyed it. After the boring job of cleaning house on Friday morning, I went to the Sandler shoe shop and bought two pairs and then on to GardensRus in Moorefields Road to meet Diane for coffee and a lovely sweet. Today I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure while John was shopping and after lunch, I took the newspapers, book and cold drink and sat in the sun. Lovely afternoon. Tomorrow the Berry markets are on and depending on the weather, we will go to browse, and again, lunch.
