Playdate in Longueville

Luckily, except for some lingering “diaweeah,” as Graham is constantly reminding us he has, he is better.  We have brunch playdate plans with friends of friends in Longueville, so we pack him up in a pull-up and off we go.  Such a fun day, great couple, nice smart and funny, really sweet kids, so much fun.  Would a cool American couple welcome foreign strangers into their home to take up half their Sunday?  Not sure, but I love Australians for that.

Another beautiful house with pretty landscaped view out big sunny windows, pool and tramp in the backyard, playrooms and lots of room to run around and play.  A little depressing to think of my much more cramped and dimly lit New York City life.  I don’t know, maybe most people in America outside of New York City are living this way.  I mean, people just live in houses in the movies, right??  Don’t answer that.

Peter says goodbye to his mom as she heads back to New York.  Am a little nervous as he’s never been away from her for this long, and I have vivid memories of him as a little boy having to go back home in the middle of a long weekend away because he missed her.  Of course it’s many years later and he’s matured into a strong, confident boy of eleven now.  Plus we have Skype.  But going back home means an awful lot of arrangements for everyone, not to mention how much we would miss him all over again, so I hope it goes OK!!

Dinner at Assiette celebrating our Anniversary!  It’s a lovely, chic restaurant in Surry Hills, and it doesn’t mean “little ass” as I know you were thinking.  It means an assortment of plates, as in one thing served many ways.  Very yummy food and you can’t go wrong decorating with Fornasetti.
Who would’ve thunk, seven years ago today, that this is where we’d be celebrating our anniversary!!!!



A happy anniversary!
