had a picnic on Sunday... *nods*...

I had an unexpected trip to Sydney yesterday morning... just for the day as I drove home last night... and no I haven't been to bed yet either... *sigh*...

Anyways Gary was kind enough to pick me up at the airport and as I had a few spare hours we decided to head to the fish markets to buy some picnic fixings.. an hour later we hit the road with a fine selection of Prawns, Bugs, Bread, Cheeses, Fruit and Chardonnay in the boot we headed out to Balmoral Beach where we spent an enjoyable few hours slothing on a picnic blanket and gorging our faces... *nods*...

Thanks Gary for putting yourself out once again to make me welcome in your city... !

Oh.. here are four images (cause I'm not allowed to post anymore) from my day out with Gary... :)

and we have the man himself... driving out of the carpark of the airport... yes.. I am one of those annoying people that take photo's of you when you're driving... :P

Image

Balmoral Beach... how cool is this place!

Image

Yummy... I think I ate enough to last me for the next week.. :oops:

Image

You know.. if you're going to drive under the Harbour Bridge the bestest way to do it is in a convertable and then you can make a complete fool of yourself and twist yourself into unatural positions to take pictures while looking directly upwards... sad but true.. :shock:

Image

Ooops... I've slipped and posted one extra one... for the boys... :wink:

The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

I will make no comment regarding the unnatural positions that you engaged in, but I will observe that we actually drove across, rather than under, the Harbour Bridge.

Great shot that one, likewise the food, which was almost as scrumptuous as you are, m'dear.

Shame about the subject matter in that first shot. Just goes to show how robust Nikon lenses are. :)

Great stuff Sue, also a fan of the Bridge. A very fetching shot of Mr Stark, probably one of the better I have seen (said in a deep hetero voice :lol: )

Gotta say Bindii, that's a really good shot of Gary driving! :)

Hope you enjoyed yourself in Sydney. If you did, it was our lovely city. If you didn't, it was all Gary's fault.
