a long weekend


  • watched England win the Ashes at the SCG
  • went to three different beaches, but didn't swim at one due to bluebottles*
  • had lunch at Bar Italia (as well as a post-swim smoothie and a consoling fish and chips when we couldn't get in the water)
  • bought some very sour sourdough that is extremely tasty with lemon curd and pretty good with peanut butter but yuck with everything else
  • acquired my latest charity shop find (see above!)

*For the English - bluebottle refers to the Portuguese Man O'War (which, as wikipedia helpfully points out, is not a jellyfish, but a closely related stinging relative) and not a fly

  1. Hi Mary – thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I'm glad you don't find Sydney so bad :) Those blue bottles are annoying – my friend got stung badly in the surf – that darn think wouldn't get off him!

    Anyways, hope you have better luck next time with the swimming. Great oppie find :)
