Bon voyage Andrew

My dear amazing friend Andrew is off working and holidaying for 3-4 months.  I miss him already!!  This was our bon voyage - or one of them.  He refused to allow me to place a tracking device on him but says he will keep us updated on his whereabouts maybe.

Me, Andrew, Jackie, Nicole and Mikey

Australia Day 2012

A great, fun day on a yacht in Sydney Harbour with endless huge prawns and good friends.  

The Broome Cupboard

Tomorrow we move out of the Broome Cupboard that has been my place of work for the last year.

The cozy nook at Digital Pictures has a surprising amount of space even though my boss and I sit less than two feet away from each other.  It has a lovely window that gets nice natural light and looks out to the industrial Artarmon, busy Reserve Road and over the loading dock for the wholesale chocolate business downstairs.

Many a good tune has been heard in the Broome Cupboard.  There has been much laughter amidst the backdrop of intense post land.  And of course, there has been incredibly good telly.

New additions

My dear friends Milli and Dave have just had a healthy baby boy on 21st September named Atticus Dante Howson-Brown.

They are going to be incredible parents. I am so excited for them and to be a part of this little boy's life.

Not sure how their cat Rory is going to feel about Atticus' favourite sleeping spot.

Day in the Southern Highlands with Mum

Mum and I ventured south to the countryside.  Mum says its not country anymore and just an extension of Sydney.  She should know as she used to live in Bowral.  But for me, it seems vastly different than living in Inner West Sydney.

We began with a stop at the Bowral Country Markets.  Not really much selection but I did purchase some delicious tomato relish.

Our next stop was lunch at Biota Dining and the main reason for the day trip. Mum had visited the restaurant with some friends recently.  The food was really good, especially the broad bean bruschetta.  The restaurant is really pretty with open doors and a lot of sunlight.  Service kind of slow but overall very worth a trip.

We ventured next to the Wine and Food Festival at the Bong Bong Picnic Racetrack.  Glass of vino while wandering around buying tomato and mint plants in the sunshine.

And last stop, with a not overly enthusiastic Mum, were the tulips at the Corbett Gardens.
