Mum & Dad left Sydney for Singapore yeaterday afternoon. We had intended doing the Bondi to Bronte walk with them, but Mum managed to sprain her ankle while in New Zealand, so that put paid to that and we drove instead. We arrived in Bronte for a relaxing breakfast with Caoimhe and Dave, then hung around for a last view of the surf before heading home so they could go to the airport. I was sad to see them go, but at least now they know what it’s like here and why I’ve chosen to make it my home.
Woke up this morning to a text from Cormac saying that Mum & Dad were OK and weren’t near the earthquake at all. I had no idea what he was talking about so jumped up and checked the papers, only to find that there was an 8.7 magnitude quake off Indonesia!
