Sydney May 09

The first Sunday in May is opening of the Icebergs season. We head down to the pool, where, after much ado, ice blocks are thrown into the water and then the members all jump in. We then swim 5o meters, have a sausage sizzle and beer, and head slowly home to a relaxed Sunday afternoon. See Guy and Siani doing their duty with ice in hand.

It was also Trinity's sixth birthday party with lots of chaos, family and friends to celebrate. She was thrilled that everyone came and more importantly gave her lots of good presents.

We also had the good news of a new niece, Natasha Hain, with a happy, though tired Danielle, Barry, Mikayla and Rhys. Congratulations to the Hain family.

Trinity and I got some quality time to go to the Kusama exhibition at the MCA, walk around Circular Quay and eat ice cream. We loved the magical fairly light room, and the fluro polka dot lounge room.

Also just before we left Trinity had a trial at Montessori East and decided she wants to go there despite the kids calling her Trinity Infinity. She will start back third term as she needs a week of quarantine, which segways into school holidays nicely.

The other big news is that David submitted his final manuscript for his new book to the publisher, promising not to write another book for another five years. I don't quite believe it myself. India didn't really help with the speed of the process either.
