Depot, Darby Street

July 15, 2009

While I was in Newcastle, I went to The Depot, a new cafe on Darby St, twice for lunch. Mostly because I hadn’t been there yet, and the first time because I was by myself on Saturday and it looked like I could tuck away at a table with a magazine and eat without being [...]

Her End

July 14, 2009

Death came for my sim, while she was cooking a breakfast of waffles. You can’t seem to be able to beg and plead, but there was dramatic music in the lead-up. Time to make a new sim! edit: Here she is “Pinkie Pie” A little loopy, she likes to sleep in her bikini.

Lindt Chocolate Cafe

July 13, 2009

I know, I know, I’m not supposed to eat nearly this much chocolate, let alone in one sitting, and yes, my intestines were paying for it for the rest of the evening. But, oh, it was good to visit the Lindt Chocolate Cafe at Darling Harbour last week. Nom?

In Rainbows

July 13, 2009

Sydney was a grey old place last week. AS soon as you’d think it was sunny, it would start spitting on your again. “Sunshower!” could be exclaimed, to try to keep the spirits up, until it got wetter and wetter, and you knew you had to use your umbrella. That didn’t stop me on Wednesday [...]

Addison Hotel, Kensington

July 13, 2009

Came back last night from a week across Sydney and Newcastle, with more photos than I really need to deal with! On our first night in Sydney, we stayed at the Addison Hotel which is on Anzac Parade Kensington – chosen because it was about 2 block’s walk from the University of NSW, where Rish [...]

Playing with Fire

July 10, 2009

I’m up in Newcastle for the next few days, seeing friends and family… Tonight I’m out at Honeysuckle … Because the council has funded a ‘livesite’ with a band and lots of fires, presumably to serve the dual purposes of looking awesome and keeping people warm. Photos will of course follow on my return to [...]

Rethinking Autism

July 5, 2009

I’m sure these videos will do more to convince the general population that there isn’t actually a link between vaccines and Autism than logic and reason and well-researched papers ever could *sigh* More here…

Married and grey

July 3, 2009

Or married and gay. My sim just proposed at the rip old age of 87 days to a hot little number (also greying) named Fatima, who has now moved in and taken on her surname…. She has also become a bit of an artiste in her old age, as the garden failed… I still aim [...]

Rain rain

July 2, 2009

I don’t think I’ve had so many rainy days as this in Canberra since I’ve been living here… Give me back my cold sunny winter days! 1 more day til school holidays. I swear I’ve had a week-long headache counting it down… Nearly there! Rumours of staffing movements abound – fortunately not involving me…

New Month, New Wallpaper

July 1, 2009

Currently trying to find my July desktop over at Smashing Magazine. Something to make me smile through the month at home and at work. Sometimes I have two different ones, but usually I stick with one, and leave it for the month. 2 more days of term left, then I have 7 days leave, 3 [...]
