Watching some serious Sumo. No idea about this sport.

Me and the ladies. Marie, Kyle, Ceal, Lib and Fil. 

at the nearby beach, Vincentia, too lovely.

Me and Mohammed at Karachi Biryani at Auburn. Delicious! We work together.

I took the Monday off so we could go to the Italian consulate and check out if I can get citizenship. If you've got some parents/grandparents, apparently you can do it. But I've got to sign up, get an appointment and get a lot of papers together.

At the Kinokuniya Bookstore after lunch.

Mary anne came out for Uncle Jean Claude's funeral. He was a good man! Always chatty and pleasant. We don't get together very often, so lucky someone thought to take the opportunity for a photo.

We went to the top of Centre Point for dinner.

and walked onto Circular Quay and Customs House to check out their great model of the city.

My contribution for Christmas, a recycled chunk of wood, a bit of sanding etc, a little oil and voila. Worked out super well.
