Celebrating Gavin's 7 day fast with only water

Gavin was still on a high from his fast and I must say he looks pretty good for someone who didn't eat for so long. We visited the Glebe market after a lovely lunch at a local cafe.

B's birthday lunch and walk

A nice lunch at a cafe in the city. Then to Martin Place where we got the new metro to get to the Sydney Botanical Gardens for an amble and some photography. 

Frenchy's Cafe for lunch

One of my favourite cafes in Sydney. I had Eggs Benedict and Xenia treated us all to dessert (crepe and raspberry tart). All delicious. We went at 11 and ended staying until late in the afternoon. There was also time for a little walk with great views of Middle Harbour.

Reunion with my Sydney friends

A lovely get together at Frenchie's restaurant. I had my usual Goat's Cheese Tartlet and a smoothie. Delicious. So lovely to see everyone after two months in Cape Town.

  

Dinner with Shirley

 So wonderful to catch up with Shirley and to meet her delightful daughter, Keira.

Dinner with The Pater and Kobus

Delicious dinner at Silk for Asian "tapas"  My 3 courses were pork belly, duck and steak and mushroom.  Carnivore's delight. 

Bamboo Buddha with Xenia for lunch and sound healing meditation

A very peaceful spiritual retreat on The Central Coast, 1.5 hours outside Sydney. Lovely, healthy food (a juicy rack of over-roasted veggies), lounging in the beautiful garden on comfy chairs and an amazing sound healing meditation session to end it all off.  

Ndlovu choir and Cattle Baron

The choir was extraordinary. So beautiful, it had me in tears at times.
