Easter weekend

It's been the Easter long weekend so a good break from work and we've had a quiet few days at home. Laura twisted her ankle on Thursday night wearing high heels, so was laid up on Friday, but Sue and I took Rebecca for a walk along Manly beach. The recent heavy seas have washed up lots of seaweed onto all the beaches in the area which doesn't make them that appealing at the moment! The council don't remove the seaweed and we have to wait until the next high tide takes it all out to sea again.

Sunday was a good family day and we relaxed at home and played some games, then had a roast meal in the evening, although Sue was frustrated by the oven which isn't working well at the moment (on top of the dishwasher which we are waiting to get replaced).

On Monday Caroline was working and Rebecca went with friends to the Easter Show, so in the afternoon Sue and I went with Laura (who was starting to walk easier!) over on the ferry to Sydney for a wander around The Rocks and the Opera House. The rain swept in while we were on the ferry back, however, and turned torrential. We had 2 small umbrellas and sheltered for a while and then decided to get back to the car but met a waterfall coming down the street and steps to the ferry wharf. Needless to say, we all got soaked and had very wet feet for the drive home!
