It's been too long since we got here and I haven't done anything about setting up a blog until now.

I spent the first week in a "studio apartment" in Potts Point. It turned out to be a small room with a hot plate and a small fridge. On the other hand the view was spectacular. Pleasure boats on Elizabeth bay as far as the eye can see, and looking all the way out to the ocean.
Potts Point is a beautiful, neighborhoody part of town, and is now on our short list of places to live.
I walked to work all week and got to know the town before Kathy got here.

So far, it's a spectacular city. water, water everywhere, and pretty friendly. A called a guy on the tele page – Robin Nahum - who responded to my "Moving to Sydney" post, and he invited me to dinner right away. Nice guy and a nice wife. We have seen them again since, and will continue for the rest of our time here - I hope. He’s also a really good jazz player with a nice collection of custom-made thin lines and a few Gibsons. I plan to learn some good changes and new voicings from him.

Last week I moved to a real but temporary apartment – one bedroom on the 51st floor – so that Kathy didn’t have to hang out in the “studio”. It’s OK for a small corporate-looking place. It’s in a real good city-type neighbourhood; lots of shop and restaurants on the block, and a short walk to the office.

I’ll catch up a little more in a bit.
