I spent a little longer in Sydney than I planned.

Just as I was about to head back to the vineyard after spending the weekend visiting my grandfather in hospital, Dad told me not to bother as the weather was miserable.

This gave me more time to spend visiting the hospital. No photos as I don't find hospital overly photogenic places, although there was one on Samui which was...

I intended to be up the following weekend for my grandmother's surprise 80th - meant to be held in the Hunter Valley, but that wasn't to be. At least my grandfather was out of hospital for it.

I did managed to get to the Cross for a dance, unfortunately one of my companions managed to get trashed very quickly, he thought - upon receiving two drink when only ordering one - that he would drink them both faster than we consumed our one....

I'm now back at the vineyard with the flu. Wonderful.
