Navigation fail in Sydney

by Cellobella on Thursday, March 24, 2011 · 5 comments

Gotta love Sydney. Well I do. I guess it’s because I spent a couple of months at a critical age in this fair town… and because I consider Sydney to be to Perth’s somewhat brash teenage self an… Older, gay uncle? Worldly, confident spinster aunt? Or is that Melbourne? Whatever… I love Sydney. I love [...]

So the conference is over and a better organised conference I don’t think I’ve been to. This btw is really a holding post. Written from my phone. Today my plan is to catch a ferry to greenwich to stay with a friend. Then tomorrow catching up with a few work friends before heading back to [...]

Blogging that conference

by Cellobella on Friday, March 18, 2011 · 1 comment

How does that saying go… It’s as pretty as an airport? Well I made it. Packed this morning so probably forgot something important. Certainly concerned that haven’t brought “right” clothes for the event.  What does one wear to a bloggers conference anyway? Too late to worry about that now. Should board shortly. Do I have [...]

My Sydney adventure in photos

by Cellobella on Monday, September 20, 2010

Finally, I have pulled my finger out of my nether regions and got around to posting some photos from our trip to Sydney… last month! One of the highlights was popping into Ultimo and watching the final Chaser recorded. For the final they were on the set of At the Movies. One of the highlights [...]

Two days in Sydney

by Cellobella on Thursday, August 26, 2010 · 1 comment

Following my last post, after two days in Sydney I can no longer fit into my daughter’s size 5 jeans (size 5 is about a 9 in real language). A pork roll from James’s favourite cheap lunch spot. Lasagne! At least I have avoided all the yummy pastries from the (count them) five gorgeous bakeries [...]

Across the Nullabor in pictures

by Cellobella on Saturday, July 12, 2008

Finally took my photos off my camera – here are a few from my recent trip to Sydney. The farmland was looking reasonably green. And then we hit the Nullabor. We had a fun night at a cheap and cheerful restaurant… I think it was BBQ King… something like that …yummy Chinesey food anyway. Still [...]

Red cordial deters thieves

by Cellobella on Tuesday, July 8, 2008

At least I assume that’s why bartenders in our largest city get their customers to deposit their tips in a glass of red cordial. I decided to go and see Billy Elliot tonight as well, I wanted to really. I managed to get a great seat near the front and settled back to enjoy the [...]

Why you shouldn’t criticise Fashion Week

by Cellobella on Saturday, May 3, 2008 · 5 comments

A couple of days ago I was in Sydney for a work shin-dig while Australian Fashion Week was on and I posted a slightly sarcastic post about what a fashionista I was… not. I waved a trendy vermilion scarf at the fashion gods my friend, and the gods turned to look at me in my [...]
