Before we left on our little adventure there was, amongst other things, a small matter of what on earth to wear to Blogher '11. There were parties to attend after all, and I needed sparkly items ... and I'm sure there were a multitude of other reasons I made up at the time to justify why I had to go vintage shopping on the last weekend before we flew out ... 'Grandma Takes a Trip' in Surry Hills was recommended to me by a friend as a place to find something fun. I had been meaning to go there … [Read more...]
Crave Sydney
Crave is a month long food festival in Sydney with literally hundred of events and participating restaurants and, well, food. This year we haven't taken nearly enough advantage of it - although I did do a fair amount of drooling over the Tweets and pictures of other food bloggers at the launch parties and the World Chef Showcase. We did however manage to make it to the Sydney Growers Market in Pyrmont one morning, and stop into Bitton on a Saturday afternoon for brunch to enjoy ... a … [Read more...]
Mango Salsa
Sydney is still not convinced that summer needs to hurry up and get here. She teases us with a day or two of glorious sunny heat, instigating the removal of blankets from the bed and the pulling out of sandals from the back of the closet, only to bring down another week of grey, cold drizzle that once again call for tights, boots and a jumper - no wonder the meteorologists are striking. But the mangoes tell a different story, they whisper promises of days at the beach and x-mas holidays and … [Read more...]
Really, you are.
Everyone needs someone to tell them this every now and then: Did you know that the first week of October was National Mental Illness Awareness Week? No? I did. How did I find this out? The Bloggess told me, as only as she can. I just gave you the punch line, if you appreciate it, go read the post, she is the best kind of crazy. I'm guessing that the parades for this week aren't quite as raucous as some other 'holidays', but I would imagine the party drugs could be some of the best … [Read more...]
Bits and pieces – San Diego
While in San Diego on our recent trip there were a few other things we got up to along the way ... Warning: stream of consciousness ahead, proceed with caution... A quick shout out to the sales guy at the camera store where I picked up a new lens for my camera - I had emailed to make sure they had the Nikon 35mm 1.8 AF-S and LowePro Passport Sling in stock, and when I popped in to pick them up he said 'I like your blog, I sent the link to my sister, she is always looking for good gluten … [Read more...]
Moustache season is now open
Is your upper lip twitching in anticipation? Have you picked your style yet? Are you ready to grow your mo, or support a mo-grower, with pride this November? Last Wednesday I attended the 2011 Sydney launch of Movember. The ticket was compliments of Nuffnang and the party was held upstairs in The Beresford Hotel in Surry Hills. I had no idea that there even was an upstairs to The Beresford, but there is, and it has recently been refurbed with a stage for gigs, a new bar, a middle section … [Read more...]
Hotel Indigo – San Diego
We have been known to go on 'reasonably' well planned trips having booked no accommodation other than perhaps the first city on the itinerary. In America-land this is not too much of a big deal as pretty much any small town you drive into will have a minimum of 4 chain hotels, all only metres apart, all for around $75 per night including free wi-fi ... there is a very good chance that we spent two weeks driving down the west coast in this manner a few years back. In Europe it is feasible to … [Read more...]
