An interesting weekend

The weekend just past was very different - Lynda had left and it was strange and quiet. However, we did have some adventures and it was a great weekend.

Friday night I had a meeting at Burwood and afterwards came back to our friends' place where Diane joined us for coffee and then Diane and I drove to the airport to pick up Barbara who visited for the weekend. A very wet trip and we were glad to use the M5 because it was not raining in the tunnel.

Saturday was wet and Barbara had a wedding to attend and so Diane and I worked around the home. Then mid afternoon, Erika rang to invite us for dinner. Wow! what a surprise and what a lovely time spent enjoying the food and wine and catching up with dear friends Erika and Dave.

On Sunday, Barbara suggested we go to the Good Food and Wine show at Darling Harbour. There were more than 300 exhibitors with over 500 products and five venues of presentations running at selected times on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Again, a great time to sample food and wine and to mingle with a host of Sydney-siders out to have a great time on a wet Sunday afternoon. We were able to collect a range of free or very cheap samples. However, I think the dogs scored better than the humans from the sample bags. We just enjoyed our freebies at the show instead of bringing them home.

We again went to the airport today to say farewell to Barbara as she travelled back to Melbourne.
