'Who by [fire]...and who, shall I say, is calling....' so rather than staring at the sun today I was staring at these lightbulbs for most of it. Serenity now, serenity now. See all 30 days posts here… … [Read more...]
Day 2 of 30
[Dinner] in Redfern at Eathouse Diner. We've driven past this place a few times and it is always packed. It has been blisteringly hot today [it is after 11 and still over 30 - that's 90 degrees people 9-0] and we just couldn't be bothered to cook - especially at 9pm... The decor is slightly reminiscent of NY/Cuban/Mexican, although the menu is mod-Oz-ish....thats ok, food was tasty, service lovely and we will prob go back.

Day 1 of 30
View from the [car] - It is summer here right now and it doesn't get dark until about 8:30...this week I'm on a pitch that is already looking to be manic, hence not heading home till just before the sun has fully set... See all 30 days posts here… … [Read more...]
30 days, in pictures
So, because I don't have enough on my plate these days [ahem] I have decided to chronicle the next 30 days with a picture a day. Starting 31 Jan and ending 1 March it will span 3 calendar months and, just because I like a good list [and to stop myself from taking 30 photos of flowers] this, in no particular order, is what I am going … [Read more...]
Arm-holes, A-R-M
Most trends come and go pretty quickly and I don’t tend to comment too much... [although the 80’s resurgence is overstaying it’s welcome a bit, and really, if you are old enough to have worn the stuff the first time around, tread lightly on this go.] So I snickered quietly at Jeggings last winter [you know, the leggings PRINTED with pockets, seams and a zip flap to look like jeans], rolled my eyes silently at the black canvas sneakers with black socks and dresses last summer, and just shook … [Read more...]
Happy Australia Day!
It has been the hottest Australia Day in 20 years. In the 'land of the long weekend', a mid-week-day-off-work is a good start to being patriotic! Especially if it includes jumping in the surf and getting a bit of sun. We couldn't be bothered going over the bridge into the city today and headed up to our favourite beach for a dip instead. I took these pics on Australia Day a few years ago but they still stand true, and the blue sky is pretty spot on for what today looks like! There is … [Read more...]
Niiiine-times
Nine years ago today Kari and I landed in Sydney for a bit of an adventure. I had told my flatmates in Denver that I would be back in 6 months, oops... ...we found a place to live [with 10 other backpackers] - the terrace had 4 bedrooms [ours was an enclosed back porch type of thing that we took figuring that if everyone else was terrible we could just keep to ourselves, luckily there was no need to worry] - the cockroaches were regular guests, and one of the bathrooms was a separate outside … [Read more...]
