Back for niece's forth birthday. It's funny, kids at that age just want to show, or tell you something. "Can I show you something?". "Can I tell you something?". I wonder where they get this from? I can't believe it's already been four years. Four years since Covid, too.
Flight was delayed by 90 minutes, which in the grand scheme of things isn't the end of the world. However, when you're scheduled to be back for less than 48 hours every minute counts. I think I have a new rule, no more weekend trips to Sydney that are less than 48 hours. I think it's more that the flight is starting to take its toll, there's a fair amount of discomfort from sitting so long. So new rule, minimum 2 nights. Let's see.
I arrived into Sydney at 10:40. It was a cool, gray morning. I picked up a huge helium balloon from the arrivals hall. The balloon was a giant unicorn head. She called her Aurora, the unicorn. Aurora comically took up all the space in the car.
Fun weekend. Yumcha in Kogarah. Birthday cake from Coles. 80th surprise birthday in Leichhardt for Auntie. Charlie is a bundle of energy, and Mac is as her mother puts it "a dragon baby". Sunday long run with the boys around the Bay Run. Into lunch in Earlwood and then back out to Hong Kong with a bag full of kiwis and oranges.
