Its Wednesday 20th January. I think Lucy is tired from a combination of travel, increase in exercise and any lingering anxiety about her new surroundings. I get it and she has done really well to cope with these changes. She is a bit slower out the door today and we needed to head briskly over to Conlan so as to not set a bad impression regarding tardiness. We got there with enough time for me to give Paul a bit of grief about the finish to the Australia/India cricket test – great game, great result and great to poke an Aussie.
For me the morning is going to be relaxed while I take stock of what has been achieved, what needs to be done and consider what dinner is going to look like.
After picking Lucy up we used our Opal cards for the first time by jumping on the bus to go to the Macquarie Shopping Ctr which is about a 20 minutes trip. This mall is quite new and has far more to offer than St Ives. I’m even tempted to try and walk there on a day that is not so hot because it’ll be more than an hour one way.
Due to the scale of this mall and it’s unusual configuration we relied on an impressive water feature for our bearings and ‘lost child’ point. Today’s trip was to sort out Lucy’s bank account and debit card etc. ANZ had difficulty this time around because Lucy is a minor, but we managed to get it sorted after they scratched their combined heads several times. Aussies – no surprises there…
