Menzel and I spent a nice relaxing weekend in Sydney a few days ago. Unfortunately for us, Sydney seemed to be borrowing from Melbourne’s typical overcast weather…

On our last day, though, Summer returned with a vengeance…my jeans were already grimy and gross feeling from being permanently wet, only to be made even more disgusting by being sweaty after a day of hiking around town in 40-degree heat! I really couldn’t be bothered going back to take pictures of the Harbour Bridge etc in sunshine, either. (The weather turned hot literally the day after my cousin’s wedding, outside in the pouring rain…but I’ll post wedding photos a bit later when I’ve had more time to process.)

One of the best things about my job is that occasionally I get lucky and meet really lovely people. This happened today, when I went up to do a photoshoot about half an hour out of town. The vendors were this sweet couple who were looking after their two grandkids for the day, and before long I had two helpers following me around the house while I took the photos!

The kids were so adorable, I couldn’t resist taking a few shots of them before I finished up. (Taking people pictures is SO much more fun than real estate!) I’m going to send some copies to the vendors to say thanks for being so nice…when you deal with people so often you really appreciate the good ones all the more.
