We went to the beach today, it’s probably only the 3rd time we’ve been to a beach in Sydney in the 2 1/2 years we’ve been here. It was lovely, but the water is cold! Not Cape Town cold, but substantially cooler than Durban

I managed to lock myself out of my account for a few days while we moved house. This is what happens when you try to make iOS, Windows and Chrome play nice 🙈

There’s a band playing in the park up the road and they’re playing It’s raining men. Dancing on the patio.

I just watched the Springboks vs Argentina. I did not see that coming.
Exhausting watching again.
Well done Bokke 🇿🇦 #TRC

I haven’t seen any water dragons at Norwest Lake for at least 6 months. No sign of the swans either 🥲
