Autumnal sunshine

After a cool week and some torrential rain on Friday evening, the weekend has been lovely with blue skies and warm autumnal sunshine. On Saturday Sue and I had a good walk along Manly beach from Queenscliff to Shelley Beach which was lovely and good to see lots of people out enjoying the sunshine.

On Sunday we had another early start for Rebecca's football which was up in Avalon, about 30 mins drive away and her team had a good game after a poor start, winning 3-1. We then had to take Laura into Sydney for a briefing meeting she had with Camp America, as she now has a date to go to the US in early June, but still doesn't know which area she'll be placed in - apparently she'll know once she arrives at Newark.

While Laura was in this meeting Sue and I had a walk through Hyde Park - where the Sunday 'speaker's corner' was in full swing with lots of different groups laying out their protest / cause tables - and then down Macquarie Street to the State Library of NSW. We hadn't been here before and it was an interesting building complex, with a number of exhibitions - winners of a photographic competition and one about Charles Darwin's visit to Australia. We eventually picked Laura up and headed home again.
