Long time, no post. I'm having a difficult '"cookie" problem on my computer that is not letting me login to compose blogs. Will have to sort that out. In the meantime, I'm grabbing an opportunity to use another computer.
Spring has sprung in Newtown!! The young leaves on the feral deciduous trees are past bud stage, the sun is moving south enough to shine in our window again, my winter-dormant hayfever gene has sprung into action, and bizarre sects of people who stand in a circle and laugh really hard together are congregating in Camperdown park (I kid you not).
Other Spring time activities: a Sunday morning splash at North Sydney pool, nestled between the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. We meet with friends for a swim, followed by coffee and toast in the sunshine; conversation with a harbour backdrop. Highly recommended. Yes, it is still a little cool in the morning this time of year, but the 2 minutes of cold as you are making your way to and from the changerooms is nothing compared to swimming and breakfasting in the morning sun.
Life is chugging along quite well - the quiet before the storm as the folks visit on the next *two* weekends, with a break in between to visit up North (the eye of the hurricane??). My folks are pretty easy going, so no major drama - just point them in the direction of a nice walk, museum, book store or the state library, and feed them, and they're happy. But you know how it is when your household doubles in population. That, and the stress of needing to remember to put your shoes and crap away *every night*...

Hey your blog is looking all funky and renovated for spring too. Nice one. Yes I know how the houseguest thing translates to an artificial heightend sense of tidiness, can be draining. I am a fan of my own mess, I think it endearing and homely, even when cluttered I think it's just cosy. Pool thing sounds glorious, I am researcing swimming holes up here and have my eye on some summer paddling.
