Around the interwebs

Just a couple of cool things I've not marked read yet in my feed reader cause I thought they were cool...

Spiral staircase, with slide for coming down

Helvetica t-shirt to piss off font fanatics

Yass evening

Had a nice quiet house day today. Late this arvo we headed out to Yass, despite the second migraine for the sweetie in two days :(

I got to take a whole heap of photos of the chookens

.. before moving in the wrong way freaked one of them out and she flew over the fence and onto the balcony then the garage roof..

Annie made a delicous lasagna, and then we all watched Nanny McPhee.

Took a photo of a very yellow looking blue moon..

And that's mars there on the bottom left... (really!)

Couple of photos

Woke up early this morning (6am) and couldn't get back to sleep. So got up early and saw this..

Tonight I juiced about a dozen lemons (the slightly older ones). There's still a dozen left! Anyone want any lemons? We have them coming out the wazoo at the moment..

Tidying up

Here's a couple of photos that have been sitting in my "to blog" folder..

A moth..

Sunbeams..

Not a photo, but proof that the previous owners of this place must have watered their garden - a lot..

Here's a couple of cool Christmas presents I got..

A Spa Bar!!! Have wanted something like this since we got the pool - way cool!!

A Princess Peach Racer!! (I always race with Peach, and using this cart too :) )

And some cool bars of chocolate we saw in the shops today..

Dinners and stuff

Last night Libby came over for drinks, Europe photos, a good long swim, and dinner. Was a very pleasant evening. Discovered that our small wine glasses float very nicely in the pool :)

Tonight I cooked a potato bake and a tomato bake. The tomato bake is one of our new favourite recipes at the moment. Next time I make it I'll document it properly, because it's stoopidly easy and is totally delicious.

And a note to self: painkillers on an empty stomach aren't good at the best of times, but when you can *hear* them sizzling away in your stomach, nausea is sure to follow soon after.. hrmmm

One day weekend

So I did get some useful stuff done. Like tending to the pool and the weeds in the pavers. And working some more on my Japan photos. And the shopping.

For dinner I cooked the tomato bake we did the other week again, as well as a potato bake, with added bacon and spring onions and parsley. Both epic nom! :) And a delicious mango for dessert. And entirely too much tv.

Four days to go and counting...

Epic snooze

Was gonna blog photos of our weekend away, but fell asleep on the lounge.. which I *never* do!

Must have had a crap night sleep last night... hrm that's right.. I did..! :)

Wildlife - part 2 - Sydney Wildlife World

So Saturday we decided to go to Sydney Wildlife World. It was actually pretty decent. Lots of Australian wildlife, and some interesting keeper talks. I took several hundred photos. Oops. :)

Syd-ah-nee

Stu had to be in Sydney both last week and this week for work. They wouldn't pay for him to stay in Sydney over the weekend, and were reluctant to fly him home, altho presumably they would have if he'd insisted. So anyway, after work on Friday I drove up and we stayed in the hotel together (it's really really weird paying for accommodation in Sydney!)

Friday night was just a quick trip out to get ice cream for dinner (I had a massively huge lunch at work).

View from the hotel balcony

The jackhammering began at 8:00am Saturday morning. This whole piece of roof was gone by the afternoon.

Saturday we went for a wander up Glebe Point Road where we had brunch, and then wandered around the markets.

Kent Brewery is no more

Brunch on Glebe Point Road

Walked up to the light rail station and caught it into Darling Harbour.

Lombard St, Sydney

Sydney Light Rail

Wandered around a bit, then went to Sydney Wildlife World (photos in a separate entry).

Fountain in Darling Harbour

Fountain in Darling Harbour

Ibis in Darling Harbour

After Wildlife World Stu felt like a beer, so we got beer and wedges. It felt very much like our Europe trip. Except a lot warmer :)

In fact the last couple of trips where we've stayed in hotels, we've been in other countries that don't speak English. So it felt really weird that hotel staff and the public actually spoke the same language as us... yeah I know, I'm strange..

Seagull vultures

Saw the Sun Princess docked at Darling Harbour

Wandered back to the hotel and were just in time to see the Sun Princess depart

Anzac Bridge

The Peak and Sydney buildings

For dinner we went to a sushi place on Hay St. It was pretty good. It's the one where you can watch them preparing the sushi and a big fish tank right in the middle. I saw someone from work there. Well actually, she and her friend saw me and was waving (through the fish tank), except I was expecting to see Sydney people (if anyone) and so didn't make the connection that I knew her.. heh oops.

Wandered up into the Capitol Theatre atrium thingie, where all these photo booths and claw machines were setup. That and the sushi made it just like being back in Japan for the evening. :) Stu spent three dollars trying to get one of these dudes for Nat .. he even picked the thing up in the claw, only to have it get jammed at the top of the chute. Rage!!

Then we went and saw Up in 3D. It was pretty good, although I have to say the 3D glasses do dull the colours somewhat.

Sunday morning was relax, then head over to my parents for lunch. Watched a slide show of all their Europe and UK photos, and they fell asleep through my Japan photos.

Then headed to Sunday Night Dinner, where I surprised most people there by coming. No James and George tho :(

Then commuted to work Monday morning.
