You get some time with the kids today?
My first present was one of our dogs shitting on our bedroom floor 
My wife and I cleaned it up but the bedroom still stank so we had a sleepover on the lounge.
Woke up to the coffee machine, delicious.
Spent the whole weekend with them. Had them overnight Friday, Saturday and last night.
Yesterday went to the Calmsley City Farm out at Abbotsbury which was fun, been there before the kids love it. Had dinner at the pub in the evening. Sank a few pints. A touch dusty this morning.

took the kids on the new metro yesterday and into the city for lunch… absolutely fantastic. Sydenham to Martin Place in 11 minutes… stations are impressive, modern spacious places… will find more reasons to use it again

I rarely venture out of my Shire bubble these days (WFH), but on the rare occasion that I go into the office, my usual commute is:
- Drive to Kogarah (multi-storey Park & Ride usually is easy enough to get a park before 7:30am)
- Kogarah to Town Hall, change platforms
- Town Hall to North Sydney
I haven’t tried the Metro yet, but assume Sydenham to Victoria Cross cuts out a lot of bullshit with having to change at Town Hall.
What would be even more ideal would be:
- Drive to Sydenham
- Sydenham to VC, Metro all the way
Question is: what would parking be like at Sydenham (before 8am M-F)? I heard it mentioned somewhere here previously that commuter car parks for new Metro stations were already at capacity, so would I be better off still parking at Kogarah and a short hop to Sydenham on the train?
(Sorry, probably belongs in the Streets of our town thread)
Unless they’ve built new parking at Sydenham over the last year or two, there really isn’t alot available, and most of the street parking is timed unless you have a resident sticker.

Yeah even yesterday, on a sunday, we were in a 4hr zone
@scottohara I would think the hop to sydenham from kogarah and then the metro to VC would be the easiest and quickest option.

They haven’t.
Try parking at Tempe?
If parking at Sydenham is a problem, assume you could drive to Kogarah like you normally do, then get the train to Sydenham (on the same line) and change to the metro from there. The section from Sydenham to North Sydney (Victoria Cross) would only take 16 mins.
