There are many reasons to love Sydney, like its constant blue sky. On the other hand today’s orange start gave an early preview of a post apocalyptic Sydney. I am waiting for the dust storm to come back later on in the afternoon, hoping to catch a glimpse of a very red sun set across… Continue reading Sydney a post apocalyptic preview
I heart Kings Cross
If there is one thing that I am missing quite badly after leaving London it is the lovely London Stitch N Bitch crew, and as I typed this one of their newsletter just popped into my inbox! I missed the lovely ladies, the weekly meet ups at all types of venues around London and finding… Continue reading I heart Kings Cross
Sydney International Food Festival is just around the corner
Thanks to the goodfood guide’s twitter it came to my attention that the Sydney International Food Festival’s program for October is now officially out with lots of exciting things to look forward to. Among all the excitement, some friends are holding an exhibition as part of the festival on the 18th of October.

Let the good food year start!
The 2010 SMH Good Food Guide is out and it’s nice to see a number of new restaurants newly hatted. Restaurant of the year is Quay with Chef of the year going to Mark Best from Marque. I have a very soft spot for Quay, a particular memory stood out of having dinner one evening… Continue reading Let the good food year start!
Back to the knit
I actually finished this a while back in July, but didn’t have time to take a photo of it or blog it properly. The Ropes and Picots Cardigan was probably the fastest cardigan I ever knitted, I finished it in just over three weeks. It had enough interesting details such as the ruffled edging and… Continue reading Back to the knit

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival came to a close last week with the last of the winners of various categories announced just a few days ago. Not quite knowing what to expect at the Fringe , it was… Continue reading Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2009 – laughing all the way
Dim sum at Fook Lam Moon
“It’s going down, we’re going to miss it!” “We might make it just in time!” We ran out of the taxi and dashed inside the fish market, cursing the number of tourists on our path. “Forget it, the sun is gone already!” one of the fishmonger yelled as we swerved and bumped our way past… Continue reading Dim sum at Fook Lam Moon
We’ll be right back once the hours are aligned
So many photos to to upload and process, I can hardly believe that everything that happened, did took place. A little dazed about being back, nothing has changed aside from the addition of the new SmartGate at Sydney Airport. It was the first time that I used the gate, and as you needed the new… Continue reading We’ll be right back once the hours are aligned
Cloudy horizon
Dear London, You have not been the easiest city to love. Your weather tantrum can be atrocious and unpredictable, your taste in food is tragic and when you decide to turn your sun light out by 3 in the afternoon during winter months I wonder why I bother. Yet, for some reason or another the… Continue reading Cloudy horizon
So French…in London
A very dear friend came for a visit last fortnight and true to style we ended up spending most of our time eating and drinking in London. Despite its at times, well deserved reputation of the city where a tastebud is an abstract concept, we managed to entertain ourselves drinking and eating our merry ways… Continue reading So French…in London
