Lost and Found

It is exactly one week today until I return to Sydney. It’s funny, I have been here for months but there are still a few things I want to do. I have been keeping a mental list of things to do before I leave. I managed to tick two off last night. I went to see Max and Mary at Darwin’s outdoor cinema, The Deckchair Cinema, and then had mud crab for dinner afterwards. There is a real art to eating it, but the colleagues I was out with were experts. Not I know what the nut-cracker thing is for!

I still want to get back to Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, plus a visit to my favourite restaurant Char. No doubt I will also end up at the super suave Sailing Club for sunset drinks.

My project manager colleague arrives today from Sydney and will return on the same flight as me next Thursday night. It will be good to have some company during my final week, to have someone to go out with.

One thing I am not looking forward to is the Sydney weather. I have been watching it on SMH online and it looks appalling. Very different to the 30 degrees we are getting here every day.
