[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 393884, member: 1991"] G'day people. Sharon/WO, it sounds really cold where you are. I hope your boot camp is indoors - I can't imagine what it would be like having to work out in such cold weather! I'd have on so many layers of warm clothes, my body wouldn't bend. Linda, poor Lenny. He will still be a boy. Just unable to do anything about it. I didn't get to the beach today but I did go visit a friend I needed to catch up with. It was hot and sunny today (not too hot) and the beach would have been good, but I needed to keep difficult child 3's nose to the grindstone when I got back. My only beach time would have been when I was at my friend's. i had to make a choice. But I still got plenty of sun. As for the b each - maybe tomorrow. Today was when the Oprah audience arrived in Sydney. I'm glad we had summer summer weather for them. I don't know what their itinerary is. It would be sensible for them to have a couple of quiet days just getting used to the time zone, but I suspect that's not going to happen. The hotel is brilliantly located - a short walk from anywhere important in the city. difficult child 3's school is only five minutes' walk away, but we're not due back there until Friday - difficult child 3's class end of year presentation. If you know anyone on that tour, they will be having a ball. Right over the road is Sydney's Botanic Gardens. About now they will be able to see the city's bats (Flying Foxes) taking off and going in search of fruit to eat. Well, maybe two hours ago. The Opera House (sorry - Oprah House!) will be lit up and welcoming, about two minutes' walk away. The Harbour - a minute away. Lots of ferries to take you on a very cheap tour of the place. I'm betting a Harbour cruise is on the agenda. I've been told a Bridge climb definitely is! The Rocks (the site of the original Sydney Cove settlement) is five minutes away in the opposite direction to the gardens and difficult child 3's school. There are a thousand good restaurants and cafes in the area covering a wide range of cuisines. Street theatre, buskers, lots of wonderful shops - it's all there. It's one of my favourite parts of Sydney. The Mitchell Library is worth a visit, and so is the Art Gallery (through the Botanic Gardens). difficult child 3's school is on the other side of the Art Gallery. I hope they're all having fun.
