Our latest adventure was back to Katoomba - to visit our Mum's.
Once again it was a gorgeous day - no wind, no rain, bright sun. Is this really winter?
First stop was Ma's house. Both kiddies were well and truly refreshed courtesy of good sleeps in the car and both were raring to go when we arrived. Upon entering the house it became apparent that the new furniture had indeed arrived and was looking fine in it's new place of residence. After testing out the table, chairs and lounge it was outside for some 'digs' and a bit of a chat over the back fence with a chap I used to go to school with (and who, coincidentally, happens to work about 10 minutes from where I live).
It was a nice visit - Mrs Gazzarus and Grandma had a nice time looking over old pictures, LGR and Hayzey did their things and I got to watch plenty of cooking shows courtesy of the Lifestyle Food channel.
The only down side was LGR having a pretty good chuck after lunch. We had fish pie (which I thought was gorgeous) but in hindsight this is unlikely to be a cause. After the chuck he had a snooze and he wake up after Uncle G arrived home. LGR was plenty pleased to see Uncle G.
Next stop was Nanna's place - also in Katoomba. Within 5 minutes of arriving multiple baskets of toys were being sourced and a huge mess was created. In an interesting twist LGR asked Nanna to see photo's of Daddy when he was little. These failed to come out, but I'm sure he'll ask again :-)
Not much happened at Nanna's - we sat around chatting about all sorts of things and took it in turns to play with the kids. Hayzey brought out a new trick - a double leg climb over. She had managed a single over my leg on Sunday but this was twice as good!!
Dinner was, as requested, a very quicky and easy affair of the most impressive wafer thin beef steaks with bread and salad - quite possibly the best steak sambo's I've ever had.
LGR had another enormous chuck after dinner - this time all over me (ie the right shoulder, front and back of my shirt). The evening was called shortly after. We almost made it home - but LGR had another chuck about 20 minutes from home.
In spite of this we had another good day - it's always nice to get back up the mountains. Even if we did live their once upon a time ....
