My weekend

What did I do this weekend just past? I visited my dear friend Katie and her baby Sophie up at Port Stephens. We went for a sail in her cousin's boat on Saturday (fantastic! I wonder if it would be too insane for me to own a boat...), we walked up Mt Tomaree on Sunday (hot day, but awesome views of the coast, and we saw two goannas, a nesting ( Read more... )

Yes, I know boats are money pits... but such fun! Anyway, not likely I'd ever buy one. I could see having a small boat or kayak if I lived near the water though.
