Sunday lunch

After over two months of staying at home and not doing much, my energy level is slowly increasing. The mind is strange - when I was lying in bed feeling sick, my brain was busily thinking about all the things and places we would do and go when I get better. I couldn't eat anything, but I imagined all the food I am 'going to' eat when I get well .... We went out to eat for the first time in 2 months last weekend, and I made the first roast in 2 months yesterday. Today we had lunch at a little cafe in Terry Hills flowers market.

The place has a large enclosed play area so kids are well catered for. The service was quite slow (asked 3 times to get some water) and it was warm sitting outside (it would be better inside with air-con). The food was alright except FIL's lemon sole was over-cooked and MIL's steak sandwitch came with tomatoes and dressing (to their credit, they did re-make the whole dish). Despite these, I still felt that I had a good time. A little fresh air and a different environment do wonders sometimes.

Ballet class

Lara started ballet class three weeks ago. I took her to a 'trial' class before Christmas to see if she woule like to do ballet. Unfortunately, she wouldn't dance because she didn't have ballet shoes on and her ballet dress was different to the other girls'! (I didn't want to buy anything until AFTER the trial class). Anyway, she seems to enjoy it now. It's so nice watching these little girls dance, they are so cute!
