Trip to Sydney

We had a day trip to Sydney yesterday to see another doctor just to get a second opinion on the whole situation.

Despite spending near enough to 9 hours in the car (which reminded us why we left Sydney), it was a good day.

We had a good chat with the doctor who reinforced that we were doing the right things at the moment and helped track out what sort of options may be worth considering into the future. In essence, it's really keep on going and don't stop asking questions.

After the doctor, we had lunch at one of my favourite restaurants which I first visited over 30 years ago; Lee's Fortuna Court in Crows Nest. Very tasty meal starting with chicken wrapped in rice paper, crispy skin duck and scallops with snow peas. At the end, Alison's fortune cookie read, "Good news is on its way to you". We'll be keeping our eyes open.

Aside from that, it was the first time I can recall spending 9 hours alone with Ali for many, many years. That alone was pretty special and made the trip all worthwhile.

Treasure those moments and do it on a regular basis. The plan at our house is to have one adult night a week for just me and my partner..lol..it doesn't always work to plan due to legistice of finance and time..heheh..but we try and it is always refreshing when we do it.

Dear Al,
"Good news is on its way to you"
Sounds like a beautiful touch to a perfect day. May it come true!
Love to all, Chris Parrish.
