A wet weekend in Sydney may consist of:
Umbrella from Dymocks, George Street
Dinner at The Restaurant Pendolino, three-course minimum
The next day, walk it off, from The Rocks through town and up past Sydney University to Carriageworks
Sit, watch those milling in the festival bookshop
Speak on historical fiction at the Sydney Writers Festival with Emily Brugman and Susan Wyndham
Speak to those who buy a book
Dinner with friends in Balmain, watching the election results come in
Change of government
At night, the Opera House pulsing with white light against low clouds
Flying home, and a moment above the rain that doesn't stop this year
