viva la grammar

The grammar is bad but the sentiment is good. Jamison thought for the week.

Belconnen thought for the day

What is happening with the weather?

It's so warm in Canberra this weekend - excellent for our visitor. But I was so disappointed that we missed the sky whale launch this morning - plenty of misinformation about what was happening when - but I hope to see it for myself soon. Release your inner sky whale!

We took a trip to the arboretum and then Mount Stromlo - the weather was perfect!

Japanese photo style

Surfing.

Natsumi Hayashi's blog has groovy levitation and cat photos.

And this new Japanese craze really appeals to me.

Roadtrip

Had a wonderful day in Sydney checking out Erskineville, Newtown and Cockatoo Island. What a great place for a drink!

bright lights, big city

A visit to the big smoke over the weekend was excellent fun, and a whole lot warmer than a Canberran weekend. 

We had views of the Sydney Opera House - well, Opera House glimpses.

This morning we awoke to discover our view had disappeared. It looked beautiful and wasn't that cold. We had a walk around the lake before breakfast. The fog still hadn't lifted by 8 am.

Yesterday, the bottle brush was attracting crimson rosellas. 

I met a friend for coffee at Silo and had the most incredible peach brulee for morning tea. The place is well known for its superior bakery goods and a bit of attitude. Both up to a high standard this morning. 


I've been looking for an entertainment unit (second hand) and went back for a second look at one I saw at the Salvos at Fyshwick. I'm still undecided but while there picked up a silk skirt and a new rashie ($1 each) and a beautiful vase for just $2. And a book. Just one. If you go there make sure you check out the separate 'bargain basement' downstairs.

A very grey day. We didn't see any inspiring houses today either. However, I'm enjoying spotting all the stencil art around the city centre. 

And M cooked a pork roast for dinner, which was wonderful.
