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 [...]
Sydney
So we found the sculpture (pictured above) and now Narelle wants to find Nigel. Narelle being Alison, or at least Alison when she was 20, and fresh born into the city. The back story. The search. Anyhoo the thing is that Alison is in Sydney this week – and so is the artist that sculpted [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
No, my gorgeous storytelling buddy is NOT a geek, that’s me. And my inner geek has been seriously excited by the chance to go to the Aussie Bloggers Conference… Not that if I’d been organised I couldn’t have gone anyway but I wasn’t so I was on the waiting list and then I get an [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Just a quickie tonight. I’m in a hotel room in Sydney where I’m ensconsed for the next couple of days for a conference… no not anything to do with fashion week. I know you are shocked that I would not automatically be invited given what a fashionista I am… oh what? You’re not shocked? We [...]
