Alice and Marley do lunch

It was the end of the Gymberoo term today, so Alice and her little friend Marley decided to treat themselves to lunch at the Bondi Tratt. Born only 3 days apart, Alice and Marley slept side by side on Marley's first night in the world when their mothers shipped them off to the hospital nursery. (Marley's doting Mum had just been through a long labour. I was more calculatingly trying to stock up on zzzzs before taking Alice home the next day) . Marley is one of Alice's best chums and is frightfully glamourous, having declined a previous potential lunch date so as to be in a photoshoot for a magazine. Indeed, she'll be in the media twice in upcoming weeks. Poor old Alice must make do with her Facebook albums and her ability to screech at high volumes, in her bid for fame and notoriety.

The younger girls napped idly while the older girls ate pasta, before Alice reminded Marley that it was lunchtime. And a kindly waiter, who has surely missed a calling, managed a photo where we were all looking at the camera.
