After breakfast on the terrace we went to Haberfield to get bread and mince pies for Christmas and popped into the local coffee shop for our first Australian cup of coffee. We headed back to Wendy's to help to get things prepared for tomorrow before meeting Sue and Paul in their local, the Bald Rock, for a pre dinner drink. Whilst it was good to have a drink outside the air was a bit nippy; quite unlike Sydney should be in the middle of summer. Luckily Sue was prepared and had spare cardigans in the car (for the girls!). Simon and Paul found they have a common interest in local ales and soon they were enjoying a pint of Balmain. We went back to their house and had another delicious meal. It's such a treat to have home cooked food after months of eating out. Belle was very excited with her early Christmas present of a rubber chicken and seemed to take a shine to Simon who was the only one willing to play with it!
Thought you'd both vanished, glad you too are enjoying home cooked food, it's been one of the joys of this cat sit. Happy New Year for later on. and on an entirely practical note, not sure how long you are in Oz for but you can go to a medical centre (we went to one in Sydney, though have no idea where) and register, so should you need any medical treatment you can just go to a 'bulk billing' place and be seen without having to pay!
