Birthday breakfast, Part 2 Warning to vegetarians – this post is extremely meaty. :) Still hungry after breakfast at The Pony Club, Juji and Jay, Jac and I all decided to drive further up Beaufort Street to Mondo Butchers, where on Saturday mornings you can buy roast meat sandwiches, with meat carved straight off hot […]
Note: The Pony Club has closed permanently. Birthday breakfast, Part 1 Jac took me to The Pony Club in Mount Lawley for my mystery birthday breakfast. It was a mystery because I had no idea where we were going until we got there. :) If you’re not familiar with The Pony Club, it’s a restaurant […]
We enjoyed an afternoon snack of party-sized pastries from Harbour Town Bake House, the bakery at Harbour Town, on our recent weekend in West Perth. For those unfamiliar with the concept of a “party” pie, “party”-sized pastries are mini ones, named as such because they’re perfect finger food for serving to party guests…

When I got home from work Jac gave me a cold drink and told me to take off my shoes, get into my home clothes and relax – she would be serving the starter very shortly. I sniffed the air and I thought I could smell mustard. As it turned out, it was mustard! She’d […]
Jac and I went to the Massive Attack concert in Kings Park, Perth on 12 March. We met up with my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay (Juji and I had bought the tickets for the concert together) and we shared a lovely picnic on the grass. I much prefer the more relaxed outdoor concert […]
We went to IKEA with my sister Juji and boyfriend Jay. They wanted to buy some furniture and as Jay’s car is small, we offered to go along and load up the back of our ute with anything they might buy (and of course, Jac and I love going to IKEA anyway). As soon as […]
