Today Mac and I walked up the big hill behind Nan Tien Temple, which overlooks Wollongong and the Illawarra Escarpment. We were puffed!
When Mac goes to sleep, his toys sometimes continue to be enjoyed (through photography, that is).
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Sigur Rós a few times but this was perhaps the best instance, as last night they performed with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House. Despite the show being held in a large space, it felt incredibly intimate and moving.
Kudos to @NTKF for creating an amazing cake for Mac’s fourth birthday!
It was amazing to see (and hear) Gladiator Live at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and original co-composer/vocalist, Lisa Gerrard!
We absolutely love the Lifeline Big Book Fair, which promotes second-hand book purchases to fund its 24-hour crisis support service. A great cause and an amazing turnout every single time!

I treasure our little family strolls after work.
Mac’s day was made when he saw the 1989 Batmobile drive unexpectedly past us during our little afternoon walk. 🦇 Yes, at the time he happened to be wearing a shirt with a bat pattern. 😂
Mac and I enjoyed a glorious afternoon exploring Wollongong Harbour and Breakwater Lighthouse. The weather was perfect!

Welcome to the world, Nia!
(Also, the biggest thanks go to @NTKF for doing all of the hard work in bringing her here…)
Mac had his first-ever visit to the cinema this weekend to see Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl. The movie was a fantastic continuation of The Wrong Trousers and it was delightful to see the joy and amazement on Mac’s face as he sat transfixed by the big screen.

Mac is currently obsessed with bats. There’s nothing better than the joy that beamed from his face this evening when we walked back from buying sour cream at the petrol station and I spotted numerous fruit bats flying overhead between gum trees. BATS!!! 🤣🦇🥰
I finally got to watch All of Us Strangers. What an exceptional movie 💯
