(irony) Another Quiet Sunday (/irony)

Sunday was hectic.

1) Train ride to the city! The Bs rarely travel by public transport, so it’s a treat for them, especially B2 who has a very boy-ish love of all methods of transport. A nod of acknowledgement to CityRail, whose Family FunPass is ridiculously good value. A trip of around 32km.



2) Breakfast with Lou and Jon, always a pleasure.



3) Off to Prince Alfred Park for the National Day of Climate Action rally. It’s years since I attended a political do, but M suggested we go and I happily agreed. Reading the Australian press you might believe that Julia Gillard and Cate Blanchett are the only people who support a price on carbon, so it was great that a big turnout resulted in some media coverage of those that have a differing opinion.







4) 50km journey out to Kenthurst for lunch with the Player collective, largely to plan a 4WD trip next weekend. Irony acknowledged and noted.

5) 33km trip to a cinema to see Source Code. Really rather good.

6) 16km to Sydney Opera House to see Chris Cunningham perform his audiovisual spectacular. To be honest the visual was more spectacular than the audio but it was still a headshreddingly intense experience.

7) Finally a 67km journey home via Grandma’s to pick up the Bs and head home for a well-earned rest.

A total journey distance of around 200km going from the centre of Sydney to its most distant outskirts twice. Daft, really.
