Hanging out with the kids

So why was I so busy last weekend? We had Jac’s niece and nephew, Savannah and Max, over for the afternoon and a sleepover. We spent most of the time playing Wii Sport tennis and de Blob. If you have a Wii, you really should check out de Blob – it’s a fantastic relatively new […]

Two-nasi lemak Friday

I’m a little behind with posts at the moment – the food featured in this one was eaten two Fridays ago. I started my day with a chewy buttered toasted bagel from MYO (Royal St, East Perth). So simple, yet so satisfying. For lunch, J and I went to Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay […]
