Queen’s Birthday Weekend in Australia in 2015

This weekend is a long weekend in Australia. It is the Queen’s Birthday Weekend. This means tomorrow, Monday, is going to be a public holiday.

Ice-Cream from MESSINA

This shop is in Sydney, not far from the Griffin Theatre. We went there yesterday for some ice-cream after the theatre matinee performance. We all love this ice-cream (gelato) very much!

 Gelato de Messina! Homemade on the premises.

Peter took this photo of the four of us in front of the theatre. It is great for me to be able to remember this day that we spent with our two daughters and a grand-daughter.
One daughter took the following photo of us waiting at a bus-stop:

When we were in Melbourne towards the end of last year we had an excellent dinner at this
Maylasian Food Restaurant:

We knew Messina Ice-Cream from Sydney and were happy to find that there was a MESSINA Ice-Cream shop also in Melbourne. We went there at night time. This photo shows how popular it is:

And on another night we went for Haxtaburgers at this place which is opposite from MESSINA’S:

Thursday, 3rd of July 2014

Today we did get a surprise visist by Monika and family. All the pictures are todays pictures. Peter took some and I also took some. Caroline and Matthew were with us too. Sorry, nobody thought of taking pictures of them too. Krystal isn’t in any of the pictures, also Peter is missing in any of them. Ebony is in the background of the picture with Lucas.

It was so nice to have visitors! It was also great to have Caroline and Matthew with us for a while. I kept talking about our trip to Sussex Inlet in a few weeks. There’s going to be a special family meeting at Sussex Inlet for one weekend. Family from Melbourne and Newcastle are going to be with us too. I hope we’re going to have plenty of sunshine during our Sussex Inlet weekend. We are probably going to be about sixteen people  for this family meeting. The family booked four units already. Each unit  is for four people. There’s also an annex with every unit which can be used for additional people.
