Easter Monday

Well I have to say that today was filled with much anticipation! Mark and I headed to Botany Bay which is a short 3-5 min drive from our place. We ran along the foreshore and it was so good to be out there and running again! I haven't run in a couple of weeks and have to say that I was feeling all the worse for wear because I hadn't run. The last active thing I did was a 'Revolutionary Cycle class' last Wednesday. I found that I needed to preserve what little energy I had, to push through that last couple of weeks of school - that and I had been interstate the week before!

I digress. In any case after the 5km run this morning in just over 30 minutes (which was good for me given I had a couple of weeks without running) made me feel so much better!

It was wonderful to see so many people out walking, running, cycling and out on the water.

Today my lovely husband Mark, my father in law, step mother in law and brother in law and his partner and I went to Manly. It was such a lovely day. We met at Circular Quay and caught the ferry across the harbour, out to the heads and to Manly.

It was such a great day to spend out on the harbour and at such a beautiful place. It was filled with good conversation and good laughs. I have included some photos below.

I tried Max Brenner chocolate today - in the way of an Italian dark thick chocolate. It was very rich and too sweet for me, which is disappointing because the service was great and the presentation was lovely. I find Lindt to be less sweet. At least I can say that I've tried it.

In any case, time spent with family was wonderful! My brother in law and his partner live in Dubai so it has been wonderful to spend the last couple of days with them.

It has been a truly delightful beginning to the holidays!
