Tales of a tall city

Anywhere you go in Sydney, women are lining up to go to the toilets. The Opera House on a weekday in January? - queues; Circular Quay? - queues; Coogee Beach? - queues; The State Theatre? - queues.

You know the only satisfactory place for a gal to wee in Sydney? The SCG! The place is chocka block full of guys! The ladies loos are divine! I sauntered in...did a few twirls with my handbag outstretched, weaved the grapevine up and down in front of the full length mirror, belted out a few bars of Advance Australia Fair (just to be patriotic - I was at the cricket!), did my business and left. Ahh freedom!

While we are on the subject, the smell of toilets is not usually a topic to discuss, but just in case you are interested: the loos at the State Theatre? - lemonade; the Amora Hotel in the City? - maple roasted hazelnuts; the SCG? Just the clear sweet smell of space and luxury. Divine!

Husband and I dined out at a fancy smancy restaurant while in the big smoke the other night and these two frisky baguettes where assigned to our table:

I only turned away for a moment to gawk at my neighbours posh nosh and when I returned my gaze these two were at it like buns in an oven:

You may have guessed that I am easily amused.

Anyway, had a too-quick surf with Champagnekate yesterday morning. If only my kids hadn't got in the way...I would've stayed longer - crystal water and warm as a tropical island. It's good when you get it.

Happy Australia Day!

Came across this cartoon in one of Surferboy's Tracks magazines recently and thought I'd have a play with it... :)
Hope it makes you smile.

I like to think we will be still around in 30 years time even if we scare off the young folk with our saggy bits, walking/surfing frames, and wayward ways. I'm sure Grommie will shred Chopes by then...

(nb: Chopes refers to Teahupoo... Chowpoo? Tahiti? With me?)

This is the view from the shoulder as Grom gets on with it at Chopes...
Feel the suck?

The best seat in town.

Coffee with the girls. The next best thing to surfing.

Better late than never!

Happy New Year from Cockatoo Island! Had lots of fun on this uniquely Sydney adventure, hope you all saw the new year in in your usual fun loving style... Got any photos to show off here?

We are off to the 2nd day of the cricket test against Sri Lanka tomorrow - no sitting in the hot sun for us, we will be sipping cool ones up in the corporate box... ;)
