One of our traditions going to Sydney for events/gigs/parties/whatever is to have a yum cha breakfast the next day – usually close to midday, and usually at Emperor’s Garden in Chinatown (right across from Paddy’s markets).
We eat a lot of steamed dishes – including the must-have BBQ Pork Buns. Yums.
And finish with [...]
No photos from the gig, since it was truly awesome and I spent the whole time falling in love with her even more, but got a few outside the Opera House, on the steps ;)
There were so many girls in awesome corsets, petticoats, hats, dresses… didn’t snap any (focussed) shots of them though.
Fairy Bread!
After the relatively disappointing visit to Sydney two months ago, Halloween weekend was the chance for everyone to make it up to us.
Starting with the Diamant Hotel, Sydney…
Wine and chocolates on arrival… Rish tells me the Lindt chocolates were yum. They smelled great!
The room this time around was free, with the wine, parking, and then [...]
Halloween night was good (costume and hotel room pics to come later this week), amazing how much you can fit into 23 hours in Sydney :) A few hours sleep, we managed to drive home safely… watched the cool storm coming in over the wind farm at Lake George.

We went up to Sydney on the weekend for a PJs themed party… Way too many things didn’t go to plan…
We stayed at the Diamant who mixed up out booking – so rather than a Suite with champagne on arrival we had a regular room… which would have been nice if that’s what I paid [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So Saturday night was Spent in Sydney for a high school friend’s 27th birthday. Let’s get over that since he’s turning 27, the rest of us will be shortly. Great views of the Harbour Bridge, good company, and probably too many fruit tingles.
Fruit Tingle Recipe:
2 parts vodka
1 part blue curacao
1 part raspberry cordial

I think we’ve figured out our “Sydney Routine”.
Check into the hotel (that we’ve booked through Wotif.com or through a new place like Hotels Combined) about 2pm after remember again that we hate the stretch along South Dowling Drive…
Find lunch. This time around we stuffed ourselves silly with Manchurian Sweet and Sour Pork and some dumplings [...]
Gee B1 and B2 proved great conversational starters in my younger years…
Anyway… (Do you know what time it is?)
We’ve got ourselves a place very very close to where I work… meaning walking to work every day! *bounce* Slightly larger than we have now, but technically a townhouse… though it’s not a little box courtyard like [...]
