Was down in Canberra over the weekend for Uni – my last contact day of my Masters! I still have 3 assignments to go, but we’ll get to that in good time ;)
It took me awhile to figure out the best way to eat my fruit salad, but it was yum (yummer with the honey that we had to remind them to give us)
I’m told the croissants went well :)

It sometimes takes moving away from a city to see some of the sights.
Rish and I headed to Adore Tea at Gold Creek for a lovely afternoon of chai and jazz, at the suggestion of a friend we were staying with.
Not super overwhelmed by the tea, but the atmosphere was lovely with live local music, blankets and hugs.
Rish went the scones and jam
I got some teas from there for my farewell gift, and the sleepytime tea is wonderful! :)

Last night was my work farewell dinner at Rama’s at the Pearce shops. My workmates came out in good numbers for the winter school holidays, and many smiles and hugs were shared.
Samosas
Delicious Spinach Balls
One of the girls served me a yummy plate.
We stuffed ourselves on a banquet, no idea what the dishes were, I let others take care of that for me!
After dinner, one of the group gave a small thank you speech, and I got presents from Adore Tea!
AND THE TEAPOT EARRINGS
And a cute little Kimmidoll from one of my friends
I’ll miss them, but have so much ahead of me! So excited!

Just back from my last trip to the Old Bus Depot Markets as a Canberran… one last chance to browse the familiar stalls, sip a warm drink, and buy some macarons from The Curious Chocolatier…
So many to choose from! Ended up with one of each, plus to pistachio, two slated caramel and two hazelnut to share with friends coming to dinner tonight :)
There was a fair queue at Jo’s Juice this morning… so many after the hot apple cider, hot lemon ginger and honey, and mulled wine

Lisa and some crazy girl with a mouse beanie. Photo stolen from Karen :D
Headed up to Scope Mt Stromlo on this wild and wintery morning to meet Karen, Stu, Lisa and Chris for Breakfast. Leaving Canberra is a great excuse to catch up with some of my Canberra internet besties!
Cute macchiato!
In a case of WHOA CANBERRA IS TOO SMALL, Stu and Chris used to work together… 0.o
Soy latte :D
We got into the coffees and breakfasts… Again stoked by the gluten free options and the fact that there’s no extra change for decaf or soy :D
Rish popped along for a Mocha.
The breakfasts all went down well, while we chatted about “Weston Creek gossip”, travel (Japan and the US mostly) and where and where not to eat in Canberra. Karen told me that the area I’m moving to is wonderful, which is always reassuring :)
The Big Breakfast.
Lisa and I bemoaned the fact that the cafes at coolo don’t offer gluten free options (their loss, I suppose) despite being asked over and over. Discussion of the pros and cons of A Bite to Eat in Chifley also ensued.
Vege Breakfast
I got rather jealous of the others who had been to Japan… one day! Might not make it in before 30, but then I might! Keep saving!
Big Ben
The gusts of wind made the building shudder at times…. good day not to be in a plane…. or wearing a shirt outside for that matter ;)
Gluten free toast and jam.
We could see the snow on the hills in the distance, and felt the chill every time the door opened. Canberra, I will miss you, but not the cold air through to my bones!
Thanks again for coming everyone!
Further recap by Karen :D
