For the second day in a row, I went out to breakfast with a friend. This time, I met up with my friend Chad at Etro (49 King St, Perth). I’ve enjoyed a rather large fry-up here previously. Etro’s a good place for breakfast before work as it opens at 7am. Not enough places open […]
I met up with L for breakfast on a recent Thursday morning before work. L used to work with me, but now has another job with a different organisation. She looked very well, relaxed and happy. I think her job change has been very good for her. We went to Shots Espresso Cafe (528 Hay […]
Recently, my mum gave me these puff pastry squares with a container of chicken and potato curry. As she explained, they’re her “cheat’s curry puffs”. She’s made these for workmates and friends recently, and thought I’d enjoy them too. With the pastry warmed in the oven, and the curry zapped in the microwave, thes…
I have some fantastic news! My new niece Zoe was born yesterday, 28 February 2009. She arrived a month earlier than expected, but she and her mum Ange are doing well. Big sister Ruby has met Zoe already. Ange told us Ruby brought along a soft toy for her new little sister, and seemed quite […]
I can’t believe I missed posting this! The morning after our family reunion dinner, we “kids” got together again to go visit our relatives for Chinese New Year. Of course, this involved more eating – I didn’t have breakfast that morning, as I knew we’d be eating nonstop as we visited everyone. :) First stop [&hel…
I’m sure my friend C won’t be offended that I’ve called this post “breakfast of gluttons”! We know what we are, after all! :-D We met up at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub) to start our day with a hearty feed. C had […]
Last Friday morning, I met up with my friend Chad and had breakfast at 44 King St in Perth. I haven’t been there for years – I think the last time I went to 44 King St, I was in my early twenties. A workmate and I went there after work. It was a hot […]
On the Sunday after Christmas, Jac and I went out to lunch with our friend M (remember this delicious vegetarian barbecue?). We went to the Broken Hill Hotel (314 Albany Highway, Victoria Park). It’s a pub Jac’s wanted to check out for some time now – and I’m glad we did. Jac and M enjoyed […]
I love giving gifts at Christmas. Obviously, for retail outlets, it’s the prime time of year to make lots of sales, but I don’t see gift-giving at Christmas as getting “sucked into commercialism”. For me, it’s an excuse to spoil people I care about, to make a fuss over them and bring a smile to […]
Last Saturday was my first morning alone with Jac away in Sydney. I woke up around 7:30am, which for me is a sleep-in :). I had a cuppa, wrote a few emails, showered, got dressed and caught the train to visit my parents. I’d promised to help them choose and buy new mobile phones. The […]
