G'day all,
At the start of another week after a VERY hectic weekend but we have moved!
Our last night at our 'old' apartment was very eventful. The apartments are on the corner of a very busy intersection and dh and I have marvelled that there are never any accidents. When we watch from the 11th floor cars darting here there and everywhere, it is nothing short of amazing. Fridaynight the inevitable happened and we heard two cars hit. An awful sound but fortunately no-one seemed to be seriously injured, cars were an absolute mess.
We went to bed about midnight and I woke up about 3 hearing a lot of shouting and swearing coming from the hotel opposite us. I got up to have a look with the binoculars and could see thugs belting into a man and when his female companion stepped in, they got stuck into her as well! It was really quite scary. Security from the hotel did very little, people were out on the road preventing cars from continueing their journey and they were honking their horns. Within a very short time 3 police cars came roaring up and the thugs just scattered. Finally went back to bed about 4 am, dh never heard a thing
We started moving about 1.30 pm and by 4pm we were settled into our new apartment which is on the complete opposite side of the building overlooking the harbour and city lights.
The most notable thing is that it is very quite
We should be quite comfortable here for the rest of our Sydney stay.
Yesterday parts of the city were blocked off for the making of "Matrix", they had low flying helicopters through the city. We could see them from our apartment, very flashy helicopters with a 'gold' bulbous nose type thing on the front of it.
Our binoculars have never had so much use as they have had here in Sydney!
At the weekend another production of 'Man of La Mancha' has started, I would like to go and will check out to see if there are any seats available.
We have been hearing about your (USA) weather, the floods, the fires and the heat. Hope none of you are affected too badly.
Keep well and healthy!
Cheers
Maria
