Cool Cats and Longy Headland

As much as the upcoming family holiday to Thailand is on our minds we have still been making the most of our weekends in Sydney, inclement weather and all.

I swim early each winter Sunday morning in an ocean swimming club, the Cool Cats. Last night our club invaded the local fish and chip shop for a family social event. As you can imagine swimming in the ocean in the dead of winter attracts some strange characters and Kelly and the kids got to meet them all last night. The kids came along and were well looked after with copious amounts of seafood and a few unexpected presents, I enjoyed a few beers and a bit of banter and Kelly (apart from looking after the kids) recognised one of the guys as the bus driver that often drives her to work and so spent quality time talking about her morning commute. Given Kelly is also not a big seafood fan you can understand who got the best of that deal. I did try and make up for it by taking Kelly to breakfast on Saturday and having grandma look after Luca and Scout for a couple of hours.


With a break in the weather today Kelly got us all moving for a walk up Long Reef headland. The kids enjoyed getting out of the house and running up and down the grass hills and climbing rocks and we all enjoyed the view.
