A Break from the Cold
It's lovely to be back in Sydney. As i write this i glance out the window to see blue skies and a sunlit Blackwattle Bay. It's a pleasant change from two weeks in a very wintery Melbourne. Of course i'm back there tomorrow, and will probably remain there until the end of the month.
Yesterday Kerri and I visited our hair-dresser in the morning. It's always a relaxing and pleasurable experience - just the medicine i needed after a very stressful week. I've added Tony to my newly created Free Plug section. Tony is looking for new customers, so if you're looking for a good hairdresser in Sydney CBD, please give Tony a try.
We also did some shopping in Myer - i bought a couple of pair of Jeans, and Kerri purchased some long sleeved tops and a stunning leather jacket. I also bought a much-needed umbrella, which was advertised as the World's First Automatic Open and Close Umbrella. The idea of that seemed pretty amazing to me - but what a load of crap! The closing mechanism does indeed initiate a folding of the frame, but the operator still needs to pull the pivot point down the shaft to the locking position, and is far more effort than is required with a normal umbrella! Still, it's very compact once folded, and the gimmick makes a good talking point :-)
We squeezed in the bit of tennis yesterday afternoon, however we were battling the wind more than anything. I've never before hit so many delicate drop shots from full-blooded forehand top-spin drives! About 5 mins before we finished up, i realised that my grip on both forehand and backhand had been shockingly incorrect for the whole session. I was wondering why i was hitting the ball so terribly! I've found that simple things like gripping the racket in the right position is easily lost if one does not play regularly.
Today we will be visiting Kerri's grandmothers old place, where we will meet up with her parents, and later in the afternoon we intend to trek out to Penrith to catch up with Cheryl and the family. Hope you're all having a good weekend!

An automatic closing umbrella? Wow, I've got to see this! I'm assuming you'll be bringing it down to Melbourne -- you'll need it!
Oh, and did you remember to bring down the Tropfest DVD? :)
Oops! I'll put it in my laptop case right now ....... done! Now you just have to wait for my next trip. Don't worry, if all goes well (ie. our customer is interested in our product), then it won't be too long!
Cool! Hope to see you again soon man :)
