Weekend Wind Up

I went with a group of friends to The Australian Hotel’s Annual Beerfest on Saturday. It was so much fun. When we got there (bright and early – a full 45 minutes before any of the stalls opened) we bought a tasting cup and ten tickets. You then go from stall to stall and hand … Continue reading →

Solidarity In The Morning

Isn’t it funny sometimes when something unusual happens in a public situation where only usual things happen? Take, for example, something that happened to me today. Parked in an early bird parking station, went to the lifts and waited for them to arrive and transport me up to ground level. I have done this many … Continue reading →

Weekend Wind Up – The Holy Grail

We were away (again) this weekend. My little brother had to have his wisdom teeth taken out and neither of my parents could be at the family home (because they were going to see John Farnham – good to see they’ve got their priorities in order) so The Designer and I headed out to the … Continue reading →

When Life Gives You Lemons…

We had so much fun talking, eating dumplings and drinking wine into the night. Last year when we left, we saw a German tourist trying to pet a possum outside … Continue reading →

Last Weekend’s Weekend Wind Up – The Pseudo Holiday

I am a very bad blogger this week. I have hardly read anybody else’s blog and mine hasn’t seen any love for over a week now. I wrote the below post last Sunday night but I intended to upload the photos from my DSLR to it. The Designer has been super busy with a lot … Continue reading →

Self Indulgent Post

The one where I am going to be openly self indulgent. I purchased this dress today. It’s Leona Edmiston (I know right? Classy) and I love it. I am going to a ball (again – so classy!) on Friday night and I want to wear it there but need some blogosphere help with accessories. I … Continue reading →

Weekend Wind Up – The Weekend That Wasn’t

Last week, I blogged about our impending camping trip to the mid north coast, on Friday afternoon we jumped in the car and drove up. The weather report still didn’t look great and we arrived at our destination tired and in the dark but happy. There were eight of us in total and it all … Continue reading →
