Adventure, baby!

Alec

Happy Birthday Alec!

/ Family / 1 Comment

This week marked my dear husband’s birthday. As a little gift I bought him the Hulk shirt below. It’s a little joke between us because he calls me the Hulk when I’m angry. Better to embrace it, I say!

Hulk Smash!

We then went to dinner at Becasse for their degustation dinner. I chose Becasse because of their excellent reviews and the fact that they had a vegetarian degustation menu listed on their menu as well as the regular one. Score! The food was amazing, especially with the matching wines. The service was outstanding – completely flawless.

Happy birthday my beautiful husband. I love you.

This year Alec had birthday week – it was a big birthday after all 🙂

Highlights from the week were a dinner at Thairiffic with Daniel and Hedviga (complete with birthday flan) and then our dinner tonight at Bartino – Spanish tapas, followed by dessert from Lindt. Delicious!

Happy birthday Alec. I love you times a million.

Alec in Mountain View

While I was sweating it out at the corporate games, Alec was working hard at Google Mecca. He took my beautiful camera with him to claim tax back and played around with it – including the photo below. It was just too delightful not to blog 🙂

The other most obvious blessing in my life – Alec. I’m thankful several times every day for the joy, peace, love and laughter that he has brought into my life.

I love you brain 🙂

Sakura Japanese Kitchen

Before seeing Body of Lies at the movies (which we both enjoyed, despite the bad reviews), Alec and I had dinner at my favourite noodle place on Pitt St, Sakura. Nothing special, just tasty noodles and great conversation before Alec had to head off to the USA for work once again.

He loves his picture being taken all the time, really he does.

As demonstrated when he tries to shoo me away with his chopsticks.

Alec’s huge bento box.

The same thing I always order – udon noodle soup and vegetables tempura.


Not amused by the chopstick attack from Alec.

Tired now! Too much noodle? Surely not!

Sculpture By The Sea

One of Alec and my first outings when we started dating was to Sculpture By The Sea. We decided to check out the 2008 exhibition – and it brought back some lovely memories.

We did plan to go on a hot day when every other Sydney-sider had the same idea that we did, to either indulge in art or to fry themselves like bacon on the sand. We also made the mistake of driving there. It took us almost an hour and a half to drive there and park, so next year we will be going public transport.

Bondi Beach – packed!

Stuffing my face with amazing gelato from Movenpick.

Alec loving the crowds.

Let the sculptures begin!

Perplexed at the fake pond sculpture.

This didn’t photograph well – it was a glittering pair of wings that floated in the breeze.

Railroad!




Anti-whaling statement.



Oh hai!






Night Out With Alec

Just a fun date night out. After watching WALL.e (which was awesome BTW) we had dinner at BBQ King, a well-known Chinese restaurant that we go to occasionally.

The picture is of lots of ducks strung up. Not very pleasant, but what the restaurant is known for – duck.

The interior. Packed and bustling as always.

Tea.

Alec’s short soup.

My vegetarian san choi bow.

Mixed veges with crispy noodles. Nice, but very similar to the one I have at BBQ Kitchen in Chatswood at a fraction of the price.

I hoe into the san choi bow.

Food bliss.


The city at night.

This busker had a guitar balanced on his head.


The perfect end to the evening – gelato!

I think Alec was sick of photos by this point but I can’t be sure.
