Dinner made by VR (she’s back with us until Wednesday next week), featuring one of her absolute favourite food items: prawns! These were cold cooked prawns she bought from a fishmonger. Cold prawns, hard-boiled eggs and salad. The prawns were very mild-tasting, but nice – and they had a good texture – I’ve eaten bought [&hel…
Last night my family got together for dinner in a Chinese restaurant. We were celebrating my sister’s hubby’s birthday, saying farewell to Koo Ma who’s returning home to Adelaide, wishing my brother a safe business trip to the US (he leaves tomorrow morning and will be gone for a couple of weeks), but also having […]
Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. It’s taken me ages to sort through/process/upload all the photos. Just as well I’m still on holiday, eh? Tomorrow I plan to go shopping, but on Sunday I’ll be getting reacquainted with my thesis. Ugh. But let’s forget about that for the next half dozen or […]
We’d always planned to stay for a week in Geraldton and spend the last couple of nights in Dongara (Dongara is 65km from Geraldton), and so on Monday morning we packed all our gear back into the car and got back on the road again. We stopped along the way so I could take photos […]

I was really looking forward to eating at The Boatshed after seeing a number of adverts in various Geraldton/Coral Coast brochures/maps when we were planning our holiday. I rang on Friday night to make a reservation for Saturday – ordinarily I would’ve rung […]
On Thursday night we’d planned to go to the shops and grab some dinner while we were out, but when Jac got home we had to ring and wait for a guy from the RAC to rock up – the car key was stuck in the ignition and Jac couldn’t get it out. The RAC […]
Yesterday, we took Jac’s mum (we call her Pattycakes) out to dinner at The Witch’s Cauldron in Subiaco for her birthday. We started off with a drink each: a glass of house red for Pattycakes, a glass of cranberry juice for Jac and a glass of Diet Coke for me. Yeah yeah yeah boring! I’ll […]
Yesterday morning I went to the dentist to get those two fillings done. One of them was on one of my molars, right at the back of my mouth. The dentist had a hard time working in that tight spot and accidentally grazed the inside of my cheek with one of his tools (the dental […]
We had a family dinner on Sunday night to farewell my second sister and her hubby who were returning to Sydney that night. This was a home-cooked meal at my parents’ house. Here are the stir-fried vegies: And (unusually, for us!) a second vegie dish, of stir-fried watercress with garlic. This is kari hantu (literally […]
