"Where every concept pleases, and only man is vile."
They may no longer be small, or boys for that matter. But here are the two offspring in a classic pose to celebrate their birthdays. One happened last week and the other is a couple of days away. Happy Birthday not so small offspring.
Having recently returned from the UK I was delighted to be re-acquainted with my coffee machine.
The combination of decent beans, decent machine, and a half competent barista was music to my taste buds.
I’m experimenting in the kitchen. This tasted very good but I definitely need to work on my plating skills.
Next time I’ll add some potatoes as well.
For only the second time I was lucky enough to see Del Amitri live last night. They were spectacular. Although at my current rate I will see them again in my 80s.
Come and look at a lake they said. It’s blue they said. It’s a gentle 5km walk they said.
Except the lake wasn’t blue, it was 5km each way, and the flies were worse than yesterday. Although we did get to skip across a river crossing. Tomorrow I’m going to stay in and watch the tennis.
Today we walked to Australia’s highest point. The peak of Mount Kosciuszko. It’s a tidy 14 kilometre round trip from the top of the Thredbo chair lift. Which would have been nice if it wasn’t for all of the flies.
Before the rain came a cricket match broke out. The Sydney Sixers played the Brisbane Heat in the first BBL match at North Sydney Oval on the 4th of January, 2023. Sadly rain shortened the game to 13 overs a side and then caused it to be cancelled after the first innings. Although as JFGP said they were a pretty good 13 overs.
Only the cat knows why he likes to sit on a chair with Yoda. Just as long as he doesn’t cross the Jedi master and find himself floating a metre above the floor.
Today child 1 and I went to Sydney’s North Head and watched the start of the 2022 Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
I’m a bit late to the lockdown baking trend but this is a picture of the first loaf made with my sourdough starter. I may do this again.
