Relaxing first week

The next week was a lot of pottering for mum and dad while Dean worked his last week before his hols and I finished my job off for the Australian Registrar’s Committee. Mum and dad couldn’t help themselves though – as usual they found something to do in the house (well the garden actually). We didn’t think they’d find anything, as our gardens are minute compared to what we had in Bromley, but low and behold, they cleared all the dead leaves from the front and weeded in between the pebbles in the back courtyard! Thank you so much!
They also found time to visit a few of the closer beaches like Coogee, Bondi, Tamarama (or Taramara, as mum keeps calling it!)! They were just itching to get to a beach!

But they also went into the city one day, dragged there by me! They walked through Hyde Park and went to see the bats and all the exotic plants in the Botanic Gardens.

I took them to see the Christmas tree in the Queen Victoria Building and all the lovely shops there.

In the evening, after Dean got back from work, we went to our local bar, the Different Drummer where we sampled their modern tapas and wine – delicious!
