A typical day in Sydney?

I wake up, play with River while I brew a pot of coffee. Go for a beach walk with the whole family (including the dogs) do some work at home while River has her midday nap… go to a yoga class in the evening then the day is ended with a glass of red wine and a home cooked meal.
