Stayed at the Crowne Plaza Darling Harbour Sunday night for the Amanda Palmer concert at the Opera House… Got a good rate through Last Minute as a Secret Hotel deal (woo!)
The bed was a Queen… Super soft mattress… fought a bit with the pillows to get comfortable. Rish slept well, I tossed and turned [...]
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 [...]
Got these pocky sticks for $1.49 from the HUB Asian grocery in Belconnen when I was up there for a meeting last week…
Cute little cow on the front, and $2 cheaper than the Hello Kitty Strawberry and Thomas the Tank Engine chocolate pocky they had! A little bit grey in colour, but harmless and pretzelly [...]

Find lunch. This time around we stuffed ourselves silly with Manchurian Sweet and Sour Pork and some dumplings [...]
Over the long-weekend, Rish and I took some time for ourselves and went to see 21 (using the free pass I won courtesy of RHP!)
I enjoyed it :) I tend to enjoy most movies that I go to, at least on some level. But this one I walked out of feeling good :) I always [...]
Rish told me to run for 8 minutes… so I ran for 10 :) I think I earned my sticker today ;)
I did a paltry 6 yesterday. I was to build back up to 30… think I can manage it in the next 3 weeks? Not completely sure, all I can do is push myself…
(let’s [...]
Amongst all the controvesy recently surrounding “Alcopop” drinks (I had never used that word for a breezer or cruiser until recently – t was always girie drinks or “bitch piss” in my circles, though I suppose we can see why the politicians can’t use it) – it’s nice to see the companies are still bringing [...]
