Weekend with 5 boys

Avalon Beach in the 1930s


Matt and Jake are staying with us this weekend. Our family of three boys is now five. I can't tell you what this feels like to sit at the dinner table with Jon and five boys. Yesterday Tom, Matt, Jake and I headed to Avalon Beach to surf. Well they surfed and I kept a lookout from my deckchair on the beach. We headed home and I made up a big pasta lunch with salads. Other things on this weekend are Nick's swimming lesson and gardening for me. The recent rains have turned on the weeds and there is some clearing up to do. The hopefully some more planting in the coming weeks. I noticed yesterday that the garden has many different aspects when viewed from different places within it.
It's the end of the year and Sydney has that almost Summer feeling about it. I'm looking out for teaching gigs for next year and have been to two interviews so far. Offers of casual teaching abound but nothing permanent as yet.
Last week I published to Kindle at Amazon. I have been writing on and off now since 1999 and finally feel the need to find a readership. 2010 has been a good year. Roll on 2011.
