Lazy Sunday

Saturday night just past, saw the Fitisemanu Family “Dumpling” machine kicked into second gear. Not only was there dumplings but the boys were able to watch the best TV ever invented….. the Fire Pit. There is something inherent about a fire pit. Add to that a pile of Smores, and you can guarantee a good night in.

When Sunday came around, it was a cracker of a day. Blue skies, no clouds and about 20 degrees. The perfect ingredients for a Gelato!!!! …..So taking full advantage of Yr 7 being at Sky Zone. I assembled School House out on the front steps and we started out on our merry walk. We arrived at Kirribilli and you wouldn’t believe it but there is a Gelato place there…… Who would of thought.

After a double scoop of Mango and Salted Caramel in a cone, I pointed south and we headed down towards the Harbour. You have too stop and smell the roses, we are so lucky to have such a beautiful harbour right there in our back yard. I got a great panoramic shot of “Da Boyz” with the Opera House and Harbour bridge as a backdrop.

My wife who I love dearly suggested we walk back along the harbour walk way down pass Luna Park. As beautiful as the walk along the foreshore is, it is at sea level, Shore is not.  Unfortunately, the beautiful fore shore walk finishes with the Curry Stairs. If you don’t know of the Curry Stairs, they are long and steep, with an India restaurant at the top, which you can’t see from the bottom because it disappears into the clouds… OK there were no clouds but it was a long, long way away.

After stopping several times to tie my shoelaces on my boots, we made it back home. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours on a lazy Sunday.
