We’ve had nibblies, we’ve had LOTS of meat, we’ve had salads and shishkebabs. Oh, and we’ve had butter (hah). But my favourite photo from the day is this bowl of lollies. I just like the bright colours and the way they look so rubbery. I love the little red frog’s protruding round eyes. Jac wanted […]

Another excellent barbie at Lou and Dan’s, Part 1

Today, we went to a barbie at Lou and Dan’s, to celebrate Dan’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAN! When we arrived Lou was just putting the nibblies out on the table, so I whipped out the camera and got to work right away. On one side, pate and mini toasts: On the other side, a bowl […]
