Radha asked me to post more photos 'from home', so here are some I took this weekend - Rose Bay with its Morton Bay Fig trees, and Bronte Beach. I only spent 5 mintues in the water today  - the lifeguard announced that it was dangerous to go more than waist deep, so having my legs taken out from under me when I was barely knee deep and then carried 20 metres along the beach was quite enough thank you.....

You may have heard that Sydney has been raining spiders - yes, SPIDERS, falling from the sky - and here is the photographic evidence at Bronte Beach this afternoon..... and I don't mind telling you it was pretty scary.....
