My Mum and step-dad are visiting from the UK at the mo and they landed on Sunday night. It has been so, so, so nice to see them. :) So lovely to show people we know around where we live and have made our lives. Some interesting things to occur so far - my Mum has cooked an English cooked breakfast on the barbie! Must get photographic evidence next time.
We had a teary welcome at the airport having spent the afternoon in the city awaiting the incoming flight. I still can't really believe it that they made it all the way around the globe, to Sydney! We have 4 1/2 more weeks and they have a small trip up to Uluru and a drive to Alice Springs in the middle.
We have booked tickets to see The Gruffalos Child stage production in the city before they go. We saw The Gruffalo in the UK shortly before we left - gotta love Julie Donaldson! The Gruffalo's child was feeling bored...so she tip toed out of the Gruffalo cave..... Can't wait! Finn & Isla will love it.
Busy weeked planned for all of us as we are off to the Indian festival in Darling Harbour tomorrow, a spin on the monorail, up the Centrepoint tower, dinner and then the evening fireworks. Then the St Patricks Day Parades and food markets on Sunday in the CBD & Hyde Park. A full on few days should really knacker out the oldies!
More exciting news - Andy got headhunted for a new job. Can't believe it really and it all happened pretty quickly in the end. A company that he had an offer from when we first arrived in Sydney phoned him asking him to go to do some IT consulting and architecture work for them, and also head up their team of 6 consultants. It's a dream offer and exactly the direction he wanted his career to take so a no brainer really - oh and a pay hike! Smiles all around. :) Great opportunity which he totally deserves after a lot of hard work over the past 2 years. Clever boy!
Further happy points today were delivered in the news that Andy could get rid of the 'P's' on his bike. Which he has done! No further restrictions on his license and he can carry pillions now.....great timing while we have babysitters! Off to get a helmet for me in the next few days.
