Sunday Sunrise

As I looked down Alfred Street at Milson's Point (Sydney) yesterday, I quickly remembered how good the view of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge is from Kirribilli.

A cup of tea, a Bex, and a good lie down

About the only time I ever have loose-leaf tea is when my colleague, Zoe makes it. Zoe has the office next to mine, and from time to time, she'll say, "I'm having a cuppa. Would you like one?"
