But as Samar said no better way to start the weekend then the beautiful sounds of happy kids and a swim at the beach.

Samar mentioned Celine but I think purposely left out our son Kieran. At the fish market they were buying some toy sharks for the A team in Vancou but my besharam (my wife&amp;#39;s nickname for me)son promptly asked for it and got it for himself. There is a saying in Gujju that if you don&amp;#39;t ask even your mum won&amp;#39;t give you has been taken a bit far by my son - but I am proud of him.

But sorry Gitanjali and Sufi - you missed some cool sharks (get your dad to bring you here)

Finally, was great to have P&amp;amp;S stay with us. Samar and I have some similarities which is always a nice way to bond(writing is not one of them). But cooking is - and Samar cooked me a great chicken curry. How can we not be nice hosts when we have guests like P&amp;amp;S who babysat one evening, cooked a curry and just took full advantage of our lovely city of Sydney.&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=584" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>south beach girls</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/travel/archive/2008/05/11/day-28-an-ocean-swim-and-the-ma-ma-alarm.aspx#554</link><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2008 06:50:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:554</guid><dc:creator>south beach girls</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Pingback from &amp;nbsp;south beach girls&lt;/p&gt;
