We arrived in Sydney late Thursday night and I met Darin’s parents for the first time. They were warm and welcoming. I felt immediately at home. During my stay I met friends and family and enjoyed their humour and generous hospitality. I was nervous contemplating meeting so many new people, yet I needn’t have been.
I spent one […]

Yesterday was unexpectedly lovely. I discovered a new favourite soup. It was delicious. It’s quite handy to have Darin around suggesting things to try and showing me how to make them, as well as chopping the onions and cabbage really finely for me. He does that so fast too.
After our soup we went for a […]

Earlier this year I posted about an email I’d received about a local restaurant. We have been back to this place several times since then and have never been disappointed. The place has consistently good food and a nice ambience. In all honesty I have found the service to be excellent.
Last night we went again […]

Tonight is a quiet night. Darin is already asleep on the couch and I won’t be far behind I think.
Sunday was busy, Wilma and Darryl came and fitted wooden venetian blinds to my windows. I love them. Asha visited briefly in the afternoon and it’s always lovely to see her. One of Tom’s mates, Phil […]

We had Wilma and Darryl for lunch today and Darin cooked a very yummy risotto. It’s my favourite food. It had chicken, prawns and asparagus in it and I love it when he cooks, because it’s always yum. I made a toblerone cheesecake last night for our visitors and Darryl was the only one kind […]

To continue with my love of all things honey flavoured I tried Beez Neez beer whilst I was away. I loved it. Why have I waited so long? I couldn’t imagine honey flavoured beer and thought it would be too sweet and defeat the whole beer experience. That’s not how I found it. The only […]

In the lead up to this eclipse/new moon, I have been madly decluttering as recommended by Mystic Medusa in many of her posts and communiques. I am subscribed to her services for many reasons, mostly because I love her expression. I feel like I have been letting go and decluttering since my holidays began, first shedding […]

Our first night away we left a little later than intended. We had dinner at the Drysdale Hotel, and then headed on to Queenscliff. There is a heap of building going on down at the ferry, looks like a commercial development. I didn’t notice it last time I was there. I hope it doesn’t spoil […]

Today I received an email from a local friend about a local restaurant. It was a negative review and story about the things that were wrong with the place. I was the 7th forward according to what I could read on the actual email. A couple of people along the way had added their own […]
