Back to more childcare work today. I'm working in The Rocks for the next few days, looking after 5-6 year olds. It's easier than the older ones I had last week and less stressful as they can play as they wish, which means behavioural management is far easier. It's a great location - the school we collect them from is a short walk away on Observatory Hill at the southern end of the Harbour Bridge, in the oldest part of the city.

Had a great meal last night - chicken and avocado in hot chilli chocolate vincotto from a winery in Mudgee in north central NSW, which was followed by blueberries, strawberries and ice-cream with melted chocolate sauce. Accompanying was an award winning Cabernet Sauvignon with the main, and an excellent desert wine - both from the winery in Mudgee.
