There is a cafe in the old Marrickville Post Office building.

We had lunch in the Post Cafe with Caroline and Matthew. It was a sunny day and we were sitting outside under an umbrella. Peter had lamb’s fry with bacon. He was very happy that this was available. And I had haloumi burger and a huge salad with it. I liked my meal very much. I also had a chai tea.

I never went inside to have a look. However the above photos give me an idea what the place looks like inside.

Apartment Building in Marrickville 

There are no lifts in this building. But we had to climb only two floors up to get to their apartment, which was great exercise for us. From Caroline and Matthew’s apartment one has a great view to the city. The apartment is surrounded by a large balcony!

Concordia Club, Tempe, NSW

Today we visited the Concordia Club. It was still quite warm as though the summer did not want to leave us yet. We did meet our family at the club for lunch.

There were our two daughters and our son with their partners, as well as our twin grandsons. One of them was there with partner and beautiful son, who is our great-grandson!Also one of our grand-daughters, who turns seventeen early next month, was also there.

Lucas, our little great grandson soon found company on the lawns in front of the club and kept tirelessly running around.
