Since we saw Bear & Emily off to Melbourne (soon to return we hope!) we have had a few ‘normal’ weekends. With just ourselves to entertain (Bruce, as usual, is at weddings!) we have been amazed by the Sydney Aquarium and rocked out at Good Vibrations (in the rain!)!
We eventually got to the north shore and visited the north shore Olympic Swimming pool, which crazily is still the pool that holds many (86 at its height) of the world/Olympic records set back in 50/60’s! From here we went to Dave & Sian’s place and had a BBQ with the most amazing views over the harbour – thank god fat man has left!
We visited the Sydney aquarium which has a massive shark pool with underwater tunnels and another pool with two huge dugongs – they are amazing!!! The teeth on the sharks were particularly scary and give a very good reason not to go swimming in the surf (that and the two recent attacks in two days – a navy diver in the harbour and a surfer on bondi)! Though I think the best part of the aquarium has to be the last tank – a massive glass wall (must have been 20 foot square) – which had the most amazing mix of fish and Nemo!
We then had a visit from Mr & Mrs Watson who were on part two of their honeymoon! We had dinner a couple of nights, far too much to drink and Hurricane Ribs! Yum yum! Mark had the 1kg steak – the only other person in the world that is meant for is Ray!
For those not in the know, the weather has been quite wet for a while. But that did not put us off going to Good Vibrations for Valentines (similar to our Glastonbury) to see headlining FAT BOY SLIM!!! The day was a great laugh, Karen looked the part in her Ugg boots & rain jacket, me in just a t-shirt & shorts and I got soaked to the bone! We were all set to rock the last hour to Fat boy, but there were technical issues and every time he tried to mix a track the music went off! So did the crowd! But he managed to play his main tunes so we got to shake our arses and giggle along – Nick & KT were very much missed at this point. So much so, we called them!!!!!!!!!!!
So this weekend we are off with the Eski again. Tonight we have a free event of Latin music and tomorrow is the Australian Short Film Festival – goon time!!!!
