G'day, people.
We've had a big day today, but a very pleasant one. mother in law had an annual gathering of her old work colleagues and this time husband & I were invited too. She really needed at least one of us along to help her get in there, she is now so frail. We loaded her walking frame into the car and husband drove. Venue - the heart of Sydney. The Sheraton, right opposite Hyde Park. We had a lovely view form the window too, right over the park. It's been a lovely sunny day, the park looked beautiful. husband managed to find a parking station on the other side of the park and said the wind was so strong that he could feel the spray from the Archibald Fountain all the way across.
Lunch was luxurious - five star buffet. So we didn't have our usual Tuesday night dinner, we have absolutely no room! I did buy some tomatoes after difficult child 3's drama class, maybe in a hour or two I'll have room for one slice of tomato on toast!
I was also organising business while we were out. My friend's book is now ready to begin printing. It felt good to be sitting at a top Sydney restaurant and be able to say over the phone, "Let's go to press!" If I ever sell a major manuscript to a big-name publisher, I'm going to insist that lunch at the Sheraton is part of the deal... I'd like to be rich enough to eat there every day. Not that I would eat there every day, of course. I just want to be rich enough to afford to!
So tomorrow I have another day at home (mostly) with some more business to organise. I have to begin the publicity for the book launch and contact the editor of the local paper with copy for an article. Somewhere in there I have to see my physiotherapist, and if it's not too windy, we might at last fit in some beach time.
I LOVE summer!
Enjoy your Tuesday.
