Pre Chrissy lunch

We had a fantastic weekend just gone, busy as usual and so much fun.

We've had Helen staying with us for a few days, she's a friend we met at Elephant Nature Park in Thailand about 2 and a half years ago who lives in the UK and is just visiting Australia for the first time.

We had a cunning plan to show Helen some of Sydney's loveliest beaches by taking here to Curl Curl on Saturday morning where I was going in a 2km ocean swim, followed by the "Three Points Challenge" where you do a 400m swim, followed by a 1.5km run down to the next beach, then do it again. Three times.

However it was howling wind and pouring sideways rain on Saturday and even though the girls gamely came to support me, it wasn’t the best of beach days. Plus after the swim I was borderline hypothermic so I had to skip the aquathon.

Anyway we ended up having a lovely arvo barbie at Nat and Colin’s house with Prash and Mel and plenty of time with the gorgeous little Bethany. The girls got a bit clucky and it was difficult dragging them away in the end… although it was also difficult dragging myself away from the non-stop 80s classic video clips on pay TV, we were all a little addicted.
