A valentines spin session! What losers!

First off.. Look what I just found!! 

Here is my tri club from home showing some valentines love. When you do triathlon the only person you can possibly have any kind of time-spending relationship with is your bike. Luckily theres a good range of bikes to choose from so you can still afford to be fussy and picky. You can even change them to fit around you better, you know get a new seat or pedals etc, without them even complaining! So really rather convenient. 

Anyway these guys did a group valentines spin session because they obviously have nothing better to do. (Nothing wrong with that, I'd be with them if I wasn't on the other side of the world. Yes, I brought my bike over with me.) All wearing pink. I miss you! 

Lovely stuff. 

I'm surprised our coach isn't in the pic. Lou loves this kind of dress up thing! She wouldn't just go for the bright pink top. She's have luminous green shorts to match. And maybe some purple high tops. And it wouldn't just be for valentines day either - this is her usual weekday (or weekend day) attire! 

Anyway - Back to SYDNEY! 

The weather is horrible! It's cloudy and it even drizzled yesterday. Granted it's still 24 as oppose to 4 (current Morley temperature), but still.. I want the sun back! 

The boys (that I nanny, incase you've missed a few posts) and I are having to stick to parks and indoor swimming pools instead of being able to hit the beach. The parks and pools are great though - everything is so modern and well maintained. I wondered how the councils over here funded this kind of thing, until I got a driving ticket this week for a sum of money I can't even bring myself to type. All I will say is that the FaceWipe UK to AU inflation price of around 900% is mirrored in driving fines. 

Apparently I went through a red light. Everyone knows I drive like a grandma so I really don't know how I managed this. 

These are the boys!!

This is Mr. 4 Years Old. Yesterday he ate all of his dinner and was so proud he wanted to take a picture to show Mummy and Daddy when they got home. 

As you can see he likes tomato sauce a lot..

This is Mr. 2-Year-Old old under a giant monkey tree in Watsons bay. 

Mr 2-Year-Old

This tree must be about 500 years old! You know how I know? Mum once ordered a '50 year old established monkey tree' for our garden at home, thinking it would be a huge tree for the middle of the grass. When it turned up it was shorter than me. And I was about 10. So this one must be old. 

The boys are so gorgeous! Especially Mr. 2-Year-Old whose hair is so long and whose eyelashes are so thick and brown you can't tell which is head hair and which is eyelash! 

This is him on his birthday this week (yes - he's only just 2!).

 He got really upset when everyone sang to him - I think he was a bit overwhelmed and just wanted to eat the cake, which he'd been talking about all day. 

He needs a bit of practice with the blowing out of candles ritual, his attempt was more like a fire eating show!

A cute photo from this morning! 

The boys parents (I'll call them Mr & Mrs Vaucluse as that's where they live.. And what I still have them saved in my contacts as - Sorry guys I will change it) are an engineer and a fashion buyer! Wahooo Uni help and free clothes samples! 

Just joking but it does have it's perks. I went on a fashion shoot this week that Mrs. Vaucluse had organised for a new range. 

This model was lovely! And so attractive. She even ate with us at lunch time - Apparently some models do eat. 

I also did Race 3 of the NSW Sprint Series last weekend. Look how gorgeous and light it is on this photo - it's 6am - I love Australia. 

The race was great, I did the roughly the same splits as Race 2 in December, after having most of Christmas off. I think it pisses off a few oldies from the club when things like this happen -  I love being 20 and not 40! 

Make shift boot esky 

Lastly, I road tripped to Palm Beach with some friends last weekend - a place I've been meaning to go for ages. Its about an hour out of Sydney but it's so remote and you feel like you've gone on holiday! Or at least to Queensland or somewhere. I thought this boot esky the boys made to stop our beer boiling (or cider in my awfully English case) was super cool. (Haha?!) It wasn't so cool when the ice melted and we had a boot full of water.
