Lunch by the river


Driving through Rushcutters Bay this morning (above) on my way to the Day Centre. Fairly typical traffic levels although the left hand lane in the Cross City Tunnel, which carries traffic into the Eastern CBD and the cross harbour routes, was surprisingly free of traffic.

Today was outing day for the Day Centre with lunch at the Drummoyne Sailing Club. Although the day was dull and cloudy, it was still pleasant by the Parramatta River (see below).

Most of the Day Centre visitors stuck to the seniors' burgers (chicken or beef) although some ventured to try a wrap and one was happy to pay extra for fish and chips. I settled for a chicken wrap. A few raced off to play the poker machines in the time between lunch and when we rounded them up to board the buses for the journey home.

Da (the other volunteer) and I enjoy these outings. There is far less washing up for us to do as we only have to deal with morning tea at the home before the outing commences. After that our only duty seems to be toilet escort for the frailer visitors.
