Nepalese dinner in the city

A beautiful gift

I went out with my hiking friends a couple of nights ago to celebrate Mack's life and they gave me this sublime painting of Mackie. A beautiful gesture that brought tears to my eyes. It was done by the amazing artist Koko Loco. It really captures Mack's indomitable, larger than life spirit and I love it so much. A very precious gift that I will always treasure.

Ten pin bowling

 We celebrated Gavin's arrival back in town with a game of ten pin bowling.  Srini was victorious, even with his broken foot!

Seeing in the New Year (2023)

A wonderful, spontaneous New Year's party at my place.  My home really is in the perfect location for New Year in Sydney.  We met up here for a lovely dinner. Then, we ambled to Larkin Street where I had pitched a tent earlier and so we had some space and a lovely view to enjoy the 9 pm fireworks. We returned to my place for Elna's delicious trifle and dancing.  Then back to the fireworks for a spectacular midnight display.  A very special way to see in 2023.

Anusha's birthday party

A lovely night meeting Anusha's wonderful friends, eating spicy Nepalese food and Srini's amazing Chicken Tikka and watching a Youtube of Tanya (Gavin's partner) as a hardcore drummer in a band. I never knew Tanya was a drummer!  I keep learning new things about her.  Amazing.

Mermaid Falls hiking (and leaping!!)

A wonderful day of hiking and leaping with Gavin, Anusha, Ashesh and James at one of my favourite hiking spots.
