IKEA

I am totally hooked on IKEA. I am transforming our junk cupboard in the hall into a shoe cupboard a la Carrie Bradshaw. I find their food somewhat disturbing though.

IKEA “chocolate”. Yeah, suuuuure it is.

IKEA $1 hotdog. Is there actually any meat in there?

Don’t do it Alec!

Bibs and Bobs … as my Nanna would say

Alec took me to Gould’s Bookstore in Newtown. HUGE!

Before Saturday brunch in Chatswood. Capturing the happy moment.

Pretty wattle blooms.

This blur of motion is Alec with out grocery shopping and my awesome new black leather boots.

Odds and Ends

Alec noticed this guy on the train – he does look like he has a smiley face on the back of his head, right?

Later that night at Sebastian’s Bucks Party…

Duff-man sends his wife a surreptitious text message. Does he look sneaky? Yes, he does.

Calman leans in to make out with Seb. Save it for the bedroom guys.

Flame On!


A hectic day today. An early morning climb with Mel, Vanessa’s baby shower, dropping by to see Mum and Dad, then dinner and the new Fantastic 4 movie, Rise of the Silver Surfer, with Alec.

I love superhero movies – with the exception of Spider-Man (I don’t like emo superheroes. How can they save me if they’re having a cry?). I thought the first Fantastic 4 movie was pretty average, but I really enjoyed this one. Maybe it was some much needed escapism. Whatever. I still enjoyed it immensely.

I do however have a problem with Jessica Alba having blonde hair and blue eyes. What the? If they want someone fitting that description, why don’t they hire one of the many blonde hair, blue-eyed actresses loitering around Hollywood and give them the role instead of making a dark girl blonde? So unnatural-looking.

Out of all the powers, I would like to be the human torch – getting to fly and controlling fire. In case of an apocalypse, I’d be fully sorted.

Make A Wish Charity Ball

The Make A Wish Ball as held at Luna Park this year.


Some pics of me looking fancy with Shaden.


The Ken Duncan picture I won in the auction. Alec and my first piece of valuable art for the apartment. We are officially DINKs – WTF comes up with these stupid acronyms?

Fabulous Saturday

The sun came out and I had one of those really rare, wonderful days.

Alec and I went to brunch at our favourite Chatswood cafe. I then met up with Shelley and went shopping. Lastly was the Make-A-Wish charity ball. Why can’t I have more days like this?

The “Chatswood Express” plus tomato.

Alec and I capture the moment.

All dressed up with a ball to go to!

Sleepy Puppy

Gratuitous cute shots of little Buffy. Her snoring could be heard over a conference call with work.


Lazy Sunday

Alec and I attempted to see the 3:05pm session of As It Is In Heaven in Roseville, but were thwarted by a massive line of people who obviously had the same idea that we did.

Instead we went to Chatswood BBQ Kitchen for some Chinese. Alec hates it when I take random photos of him. Too bad. Suck it up, bitch!




We then went home to watch Finding Nemo. I love that movie. “Mine, mine, mine, mine!” Ha ha ha ha 🙂
