Menai Club
Woke up and had tea and crumpet, yum! Feeling sort of English/Aussie.
Walked to the shops and sat at Gloria Jeans outside to drink my coffee and paint a little.
This is the Cronulla Beach Club
I am sitting right across from the cross walk so I have some interesting people to watch, from kids on scooters to surveyors surveying.
The crosswalks have little chirpy noises, and of course the "angry birds" of Australia. 3 pm is a "shift change" here at Gloria Jeans, new clientel, all the morning people have left and new ones are coming in. AND I just saw a fairy go to the ATM with her mum. Julie picked me up, Sam's friend Dan (who looks like John David) met us at the house and we met our friends Paulette and Bob at "Club Menai", then coffee at McCafe.

NEWTOWN with Lynn
We ran up to Miranda (mall) and got Julie a new cover for her new iphone and my new red shoes!!!!! So awesome!
We picked up a friend Lynn Whelan and went to Newtown (this is what we do with Lynn) Newtown must be explained. It is near downtown Sydney and has old buildings and streets that have really funky and cool stores and people. Punk, vintage, underwear, jewelry...You might see a guy with his pet rat on his shoulder, a cat on a leash, punks, goths, rock-a-billies, anything.
Found a cool "scarf/necklace" at a punk shop at 50% off!!!! I saw a guy making giant soap bubbles, a japanese girl with a WW1 aviator helmet...

Grief
2 am call here, and my dear Cris Fike has died.
Hard night sleeping, but then onto church. I guess if I have to be somewhere that is not Northbrook today, it would be here at Julie's church.
Community Breakfast at Gymea Baptist
Giles'ie at the coffee bar
Julie and Pete
Sam and friends
We had lunch at subway and I took a nap, Julie had a meeting. Sam woke me at 4 as he left early for church. He had to finish an animated video for the RUTH Readers Theatre. We met Pete at church and then out for Chinese, we were the only ones there!
