Ribbing Snippets from last night’s Stitch N Bitch at the National Theatre. On seeing a group of knitters in the Long Bar.. Man: “Are you a mother’s circle?” SNB: “No, we are knitting circle”. Man: rather perplexed. “Are you a mother’s group?” Seemed like he was expecting an affirmative regardless what the answer was. In… Continue reading Bit of ribbing

Drinking with Friends
Drinking with Friends Originally uploaded by markus_a Nothing much while I dash back home, this little clip by Markus is a good summary why I now want a D90 as well as a great snap shot of the week in review.
Last few days of sun
I’m so sick of waking up too early all the time, regardless what time I fell into bed I inevitably wake up at 5.30 or 6.00 am on the dot. An unexpectedly sunny weekend resulted in dragging myself out the door for the Notting Hill Flickr meet. The route circled around Holland Park from Notting… Continue reading Last few days of sun

Just a few… Continue reading Foodie weekend – Borough Market

The Thames
Thames= pronounced tmz, though why on earth this is so escapes me. The Thames Festival was on during the weekend and I managed to pop in for part of it, not quite expecting how huge the festival was. We walked across from The London Eye to the Tate and barely scratched the surface of everything… Continue reading The Thames
Silver lining
The week in review. Can’t sleep, lack of sleep, lost concentration, endless days blurring into negative days and no energy. Thank goodness it’s Friday and I will be in the city for work for Monday!
Comfort food – banana bread
After three months away from Australia, it surprised me that I haven’t craved anything too much. Well I do miss a good coffee that’s not from a coffee chain, Pork roll from the local Vietnamese bakery, great Asian food in general and a decent sausage roll…but nothing that made me wake up in the middle… Continue reading Comfort food – banana bread
