Is there anything better than lunch on a warm sunny deck overlooking the tranquil yacht dotted azure of Pittwater, with people you have known (and better still have known you) for most of your life?
M and J are the parents of one of my oldest and bestest friends, and as such are a bit like family - but without the worry, judgement and obligation! Catching up with them is a soothing ritual, and there are the reliable 'traditions' to uphold - the boys always get a 'special little milk' and M always had butternut cookies on hand!
We always talk about how much we miss L (our mutual connection - my friend - who happens to live overseas a lot of the time) and compare notes on how much we have or haven't spoken to her lately. And they ALWAYS have something yummy to eat and something gorgeously delicious growing in their garden. Monday was no exception.....although this time we talked about home schooling and how much they love the freedom farm blog! So M and J - this one's for you!!!

The following evening we were priveliged to have the infamous trumpet player James Morrison do a workshop at our music shop. The boys were front row centre and Flex especially was absolutely entranced with the buddha shaped trumpet-lipped man. James is a great presenter and speaker and can play pretty much any instrument you put in front of him. A man with enough personality to match his great talent, funny stories and a real sense of generosity with his knowledge. We also catered the food for for the group - another responsibilty that Flex took extremely seriously, carving out perfect melon balls and arranging the carrot sticks 'just so'.
We also managed to squeeze in some surfing for the wwoofers, a play with friends at the park, and a spot of shopping. We found 'penny' skateboards for $50 and a second hand xbox set up from the salvos! This is our first foray into the world of gaming consoles and so far so good...they have one car racing game ("This is great practice for when I get my drivers licence Mum!") and one surfing game ("whoa Lucky! Nice method 360 bro!").
But this is the photo of one of my most favourite moments: Magic Beach - lolling in the water, Lucky meditating on his surfboard! Aaaaaahhhh
