Alec and I discovered a new chocolate shop while walking to Wynyard station, Jeff de Bruges chocolates. I think it’s a French chocolate shop – it’s delicious! On the expensive side, but really, really lovely.

Harry’s Cafe de Wheels
Alec had an offsite at Woolloomooloo yesterday and asked me to join him when I could escape from work. We went to the Tilbury Hotel, and popped out to Harry’s for a pie. I haven’t had a pie at Harry’s in years, and was pleasantly surprised with how good they are!
Ibises cooling down in Hyde Park.
My vege pie with mashed potatoes, peas and gravy. SO delicious and cheap – around $5.50.
Pug-session
It’s pug Friday!
Check out this pug who was terrorised in his own home by a peacock. Poor little fella!
Xmas Dinner at Wedgetail
I had a delightful dinner at Wedgetail restaurant in Newtown. It was quite hard to find, nicely tucked away behind trees in Newtown Square, across the road from Newtown Station.
I met my old girlfriends from school there for our annual Xmas dinner. I had found a review in the Good Food Guide, which listed it as the best pizza in Newtown. Big call. I had to try it for myself to be the judge.
We decided to share several dishes, including a mushroom bruscetta, haloumi salad and large pizzas. I had a vegetarian one with goats cheese, parmesan and tomato. We also all had desserts – mine was a lemon tart with roast peach, some kind of gelato and peach granita. Delicious! It was also pretty cheap – ended up being $30 each.
Dog statue out the front. I love how pro-dog the area is. I saw several cuties being walked while I was there, and one adorable little fella who wandered into the restaurant to say hi while his owner waited outside, calling him to come back out.
After the secret Santa present opening and feasting had taken place, we posed for a group photo. Merry Christmas girls! Thanks for a great night 🙂
Puppy Pics
I took these pics of my beautiful babies yesterday.
Green Gourmet
I discovered this restaurant on Happy Cow, which has vege restaurants all around the world. Green Gourmet is actually vegan, and has all kinds of funny meat substitutes, and has “not chicken” and so on dishes. Very funny.
Everything was green, including the chopsticks.
The shop front. I risked life – literally – to get this silly pic. I was in the middle of dashing across the Pacific Highway and turned around to take it – in front of on-coming traffic.
It was pretty good! We ordered WAY too much food, including chestnut sang choy bow, which was really great. We scoffed it before having a chance to take pictures…

Why, Cat, Why
The eternal question – why squish yourself into a bowl?
Don’t Do It!
Life’s not that bad kitty-cat!
Wish List
I am in LOVE with this new season Mimco bag. Sigh! Maybe next year … 🙂
Brief Melbourne Flirtation
I had to fly down to spend a day in Melbourne for work. Apart from the unexpected chill factor, it was a very groovy city that I popped into.
You can’t get hot chocolates like this in Sydney!
Tired and hungry at a funky cafe.
