Had a beautiful day today. Everyone is saying how good the weather is for this time of year . For us it basically means that it was like the height of english summer except with out the rain. Went into Sydney enmasse and by ferry to Manly which the kids loved. Ate fish and chips on the beach and shopped in Manly shops. Ate Manly ice cream and bought Manly things (swishy ribbon on a stick for felix new rainbow hair snood for me and a stripey hat for matt). Saw the oprea house in all its glory and a stretch porshe carerra not to mention so many brides that we thought it must have been a convention. so here ends our first day full of apple cinnamon rasin and honey toasties. night night or if you are not here mornin.
