We’d been invited to a party. We’re at a stage where I can leave Elliot home as he is no longer breastfed (he self weened about 15 months), and he is quite happy with almost anyone. We’d never hired a baby sitter as our family are amazing and always so happy to help with him,Continue reading “Tandoori Mahal Indian Portarlington”

Brae Restaurant
We live pretty frugally from day to day, but once a year we like to splurge. Last year for our anniversary we went to Loam and had an absolutely delicious dinner, this year we decided to go to the newly opened Brae Restaurant. Recently opened by Dan Hunter, Brae is a modern resturant located on 30 productive acresContinue reading “Brae Restaurant”
Birthday Dinner at Whet
We flew to Cairns from Melbourne Tullarmarine on the 30th of September, it was my 28th birthday. The flight was delayed 2 hours, we picked up the hire car in Cairns and hit road works, that slowed us down even more, but as we got further from Cairns (and I lost reception on my mobile),Continue reading “Birthday Dinner at Whet”
Lately…
– Each day we discover a new area in which we could plant in. Veggie garden plots are taking over the backyard. – We picked a bucket full of olives and have them soaking, only 8 more days until we can jar them in brine solution. – I was quoted in the Australian Financial Review.Continue reading “Lately…”
Black Bull
With J away for a week, it was definitely time to organise a dinner with my girlfriend, Jade. I love trying to find new places to visit, and so next on the list was Black Bull Tapas Bar and Restaurant. When I got there, it was pretty quiet and I wasn’t quite sure where IContinue reading “Black Bull”
Vue Street Bar
We’re ticking things off, our #2013AdventureResolution is in full swing. Last week on one of those really hot days, where the winds were blowing sand off the beach and the ground was scorching your feet we decided that lunch at Vue Street Bar was in order. The first thing on my mind was trying a localContinue reading “Vue Street Bar”

Winter’s Cafe is a newly updated Pakington St cafe, which has fantastic seasonal menus. The crowds stream in You’ll be lucky to get a table during brunch/lunchContinue reading “A Lunch at Winters”
An Application, Dinner and a Movie.
Thursday disappeared before my eyes. The morning was an adventure, picking up J’s new car, and purchasing my pieces for my OMG coffee mug swap. Then the race was on to finish writing my job application for a local primary school, by the end of the business day. I’d been working on it for 2Continue reading “An Application, Dinner and a Movie.”

Annie’s Provedore
With J and I being apart for a few days, and having no weekends together, we jumped at the chance when we had a Sunday together to go out for brunch! Not too long before I’d been to Annie’s Provedore for coffee and knew that we had to go back for brunch! This place is amazing!Continue reading “Annie’s Provedore”
Back on the bike!
A couple of weeks ago J and I had a bit of a discussion (argument?) about us becoming lazy in our relationship. Every day we used to do fun things after school, we used to go on dates all the time. Things like a short walk, a coffee, a backyard picnic but recently, working fullContinue reading “Back on the bike!”
Saints & Sailors
There’s nothing much better than dinner with your best girlfriend! I mean don’t get me wrong, I love J (duh, I married the guy), but having a night of philosophising, wine drinking and fantastic food does wonders! I am super lucky to have a wonderful lady Jade (there’s a photo of us here). Over the weekendContinue reading “Saints & Sailors”
