Sydney Concert

After much negotiation with colleagues I managed to get some time off to attend the Robbie Willams concert (in Sydney) that Jen had bludgeoned me into getting tickets for. It was a quick trip owing to only having a few days that we could travel and also not wanting to leave Batman on his own for too long (well, with his grandparents).

Look out Gotham

Sydney was a bit overcast. We were only there for around 24 hours, but felt obliged to see the opera house (seeing as it was only about a mile from where we were staying)


The view from the hotel room - you can just see the Opera House at the far side of the bridge


Our tickets were extra expensive (but the only ones left when we booked) as we had a 2 hour free drinks and poncy finger food party beside Aussie Stadium, so I took the opportunity to get as lashed as I could possibly get. 

Parents' visit 2

A few assorted pictures of mum, Jen and the boy (boy #2 sneaking into the pictures a little too).




 

Parents visit 1

Have been on the receiving end of a thorough nagging from mum for the last month to put some pictures up from their visit. Will put up a few now and some video later as I still have to transfer it over from the camcorder.

Enthralling chat from the winery dude.

We stopped for lunch at a cafe with a view from Montville out to the coast. Montville sits on a big high ridge which is pretty sheer above the plain below, about 15km from the coast. Nice view. Much cooler up there too so climate is lovely. They have a few bird feeders by the tables and the local wildlife comes to eats seeds from beside where we were sitting.
