The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy at work as I have been organising a series of beer and food matching masterclasses and last Wednesday and Thursday I flew down to Melbourne for the first two. They went really well (although I am glad they are over), plus I also got to stay in a lovely boutique hotel and enjoy a morning off taking in the sights of St Kilda . Wasn't too chuffed about my flight home being cancelled due to industrial strike action though and having to get up at 5am to get an earlier flight. Especially as was up drinking until gone one. Nevermind at least I made it back to the office in time to post my bottle of beer to the queen. I even made a friend with her chief clerk inthe process. Lets just hope it arrives in one piece.
Last weekend I went to visit the northern beaches, spending the afternoon at Palm Beach or Home and Away's Summer Bay beach as it is probably better known. Unlike a British tourist attraction it is very peaceful and not built up at all, just acres of golden sand. Although I did find Alf's beach club and take a few photos. Well you have to really. It was a bit run down though and could do with a lick of paint to say the least.
Yesterday Anouk and I went over to Manly and did the 10.5km walk to Spit. The weather was glorious and the scenery was beautiful. I am not surprised that it is one of Sydney's most spectacular walks. I was quite tired afterwards though and have decided to take it easy today. Plus really need to start thinking about packing everything up, as leave next Saturday for Bryon Bay. So my next update will be beach side from Bryon. Fingers crossed the weather is ok as it is officially the first day of winter today!
