These are one of the pairs of ballet flats I bought on the weekend while with Bev. The others are soft black leather with cream piping and ribbons that tie around the ankle. They arrive in two weeks. I can’t wait!

Rainy Sunday
The day didn’t go as planned. A trip to Kirribilli markets was a bit of a bust – we had French toast at a cafe that was dreadful, and the markets were full of miscellaneous crafty stuff rather than “art and design” as was advertised. I had then planned to take some arty photos of Luna Park, but down came the rain and home again we went.
I did however manage to get this one photo of Alec holding my pink umbrella for me while I took some photos so my camera wouldn’t get wet. Bless his cotton socks.
| Your Brain is Purple |
 Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic. You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense. Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places – or a very different life for yourself. |
Date Night
Alec and I went for dinner to a Vietnamese place called Golden Bo in Chatswood to give it a try. Delicious!
Vegetarian spring rolls.
Fried egg noodles and vegetables.
Combination meat, vegetables and rice noodles.
We then saw Knocked Up at the movies. It was pretty funny, and a lot better than I had thought it would be. I really like Katherine Heigl from Grey’s Anatomy.
Food, Fashion & Ferrets
I spent the day with Beverly shopping, playing with ferrets and eating. I have to give Bev major props for helping convince me to get the gorgeous Alannah Hill tunic.
Star was a little mental.
Misty was the chilled out one.
Beautiful cakes at Sweet Art. Happy Feet! I’ve never seen a penguin cake before.
An interesting wedding cake …
Shop window – I loved the cake in the bottom left corner that was the giant cupcake crawling with cute critters.
Ballet shoe heaven – the sale at Parisian Ballet Flats.
Beverly’s chocolate pudding dessert at Mickey’s cafe.
My caramel sundae. No wonder I feel ill right now.
How Nerdy Are You?
This is really a quiz for Alec 🙂
| You Are 20% Nerdy |
 You are definitely not nerdy – in fact, you probably don’t know any nerds. You probably care a little too much about your image. No one will know if you secretly watch Star Trek reruns! |
What Does Your Candy Heart Say?
I am a total romantic, so I would agree with this 🙂
Your Candy Heart Says “First Kiss”
You see the good in every person you date, and you relish each step of falling in love.
Your ideal Valentine’s Day date: a romantic dinner your sweetie cooks for you
Your flirting style: friendly and sweet
What turns you off: cynics who don’t believe in romance
Why you’re hot: you always keep the romance alive

Where Did The Trains Go?
Cityrail had a breakdown last night and trains stopped running to the North Shore. Alec and I made the best of the situation and had dinner at our favourite Spanish tapas restaurant, Miro. It’s named after the artist and has some nice Miro murals painted on some of the walls.
Nice interior.
Stealthy Alec shot.
The tasty food arrives.
Walking home.

Fluff Monsters go Bananas
My munchkins love it that I’m working from home today. I love that they don’t care how many hundreds of photos I take of them. It’s a sweet deal for all parties, involving the exchange of a few belly rubs occasionally.
No more photos Mum!
Kahlua’s best angle.
The rope is bigger than Buffgonzola.
Rub my belly!

Only a true romantic can get away with wearing this ring. Luckily, that’s you. And only a true romantic can give you this ring, so make sure you find him…! |
Transformer … Robots in Disguise!
After many months of waiting, Alec and I saw Transformers this weekend. I didn’t have very high expectations of the movie, so was happy to come out of the movie wanting to see it again as soon as possible.
The CGI was fabulous – seamlessly integrated into the live action. The storyline was better than I had expected, and the writing was great – some really funny lines as well as some tributes to the original cartoon.
“I bought a car. Turned out to be an alien robot. Who knew?” Ha ha ha 🙂 Can’t wait to see it again.
I have started to go a bit crazy with my snappy cam, taking pictures in places like the movie cinema, as seen below.
