shoes and me in bed

Day 138 - Wednesday May 19th 2010

100 steak

Day 137 - Tuesday May 18th 2010

LOST

Day 136 - Monday May 17th 2010

Doona Suit

Day 135 - Sunday May 16th 2010

Nothing better than a lunch down at Kirribilli

Day 134 - Saturday May 15th 2010

Another day another birthday. Today it's AK's birthday down at a park in Glebe. It's a beautiful almost winter day, but as the sun goes down, so does the temperature. And yes - we left for home quite soon after this so I could rug up in the bear feet and doona suit.

Day 133 - Friday May 14th 2010

It's a week of birthdays. Tonight we're at our friend's birthday for balloons, tagines and this amazing chili chocolate cake! Happy Birthday!

Day 132 - Thursday May 13th 2010

Yawn. 7am conference call at work. This is what the outside of my office looks like at about 6.45 in the morning.

Day 131 - Wednesday May 12th 2010

One of us has turned a year older... so to celebrate - we're at the Balcony Bar for an evening of $10 Mojitos and Tapas. Maybe we should have eaten more and drunk less. But we did make it an official birthday - with Cake!

Day 130 - Tuesday May 11th 2010

Another gorgeous Autumnial morning. Here we are out the front of the house just before work.

Day 129 - Monday May 10th 2010

I'm sick of taking photos of the house after work, so I'm going to try and set up morning shots this week. So I think you'll need to get ready for some grassy, nature type shots. This morning we had a great view of a slightly foggy city skyline through the trees.

Day 128 - Sunday May 9th 2010

It's Mothers Day today, and Tim and I are talking out Mum x 2 for an afternoon of lunching in the pub and some lovely white wine. Thanks Mums for everything!

Day 127 - Saturday May 8th 2010

I bought a new Flash for the camera - and picked it up today. (the 430EX II). Since I've been asked to do the photos for a friend's wedding, I had to practise my flash photography - and so Tim had to be my model. As you can see - I haven't got the settings quite right yet...

Day 126 - Friday May 7th 2010

Tim and I are convinced that you can't get good Mexican food in Sydney. Tonight we're trying Izote where we're heading with some friends. The servings were huge and there was no Tequila (!?), but the cord tortillas were quite tasty. Overall I'd give it a solid 7, not terrible but not better than anything I've had at home or cooked by a friend. These prawns were actually a lot tastier than they look here. These look giant!

Day 125 - Thursday May 6th 2010

Tonight we're out at the Metro to see Kid Koala's new project The Slew. Like Led Zepplin meets Mix Master Mike, the show was pretty good despite the small crowd. It was however the first time I'd seen the Chandelier at the Metro not tied up to the roof.

Day 124 - Wednesday May 5th 2010

Much nicer than a Snuggie are my favourite Winter clothing item. My Bear Feet!!!! Soon you might even get to see my Doona Suit.

Day 123 - Tuesday May 4th 2010

Some days there's just nothing inspiring to take a photo of. Then you do something stupid like spill hot chocolate all over the kitchen. Snap.

Day 122 - Monday May 3rd 2010

Tim is chaining himself to the computer this week to get out some work for a Friday deadline. Lucky he has this great little wireless keyboard to make typing that much easier.

Day 121 - Sunday May 2nd 2010

Sundays are for fun things like cleaning bathrooms and washing the clothes. Fortunately I don't was clothes, I just take photos of them.

Day 120 - Saturday May 1st 2010

Nothing like a good hens night for a penis or two. At the Artful Hen in East Sydney - we had two hours of life drawing. Here were some of our results.

Day 119 - Friday April 30th 2010

Welcome back to the Pizza blog within a blog. This time we're at Fourth Village Providore
in Mosman to see if it really is worthy of a Sydney Top 10 Pizza reward. Plus it's a date with both our families.

Bonus points first for the cute Italian waiters who all must have fun with the elder Mosman Cougars.....

As for the Pizza - very disappointed that all of the vegetarian options were on a white base - while the meat lovers get all of the tomato bases. On arrival the Pizza's looked great and the crusts were perfect.However - the base got soggy very quickly and the ingredients weren't nearly as fresh tasting a places such as Lucios.

Overall - $35 p/h and the rating a #4 out of all of the Pizza places we've rates to date. Lift your game Mosman!

Day 118 - Thursday April 29th 2010

Whose idea was it to do this stupid blog. I'm so busy that I can't even cook myself toast anymore. Here's a summary of today. Cheap thai takeaway after a 14 hour day.

Day 117 - Wednesday April 28th 2010

It's been a busy day, work offsites, meetings in the city - and then no time to cook. As seems to be the norm for mid week meals - Tim and I head to Balmain for our favourite Fish and Chips. And you thought you'd get a photo of the food. No such luck. This is the best Drinks Fridge in Sydney - and photo evidence now exists.

Day 116 - Tuesday April 27th 2010

It's Tuesday again and I've been to the gym. So here's my shadow. Do I look fit?

Day 113 - Saturday April 24 2010

A rainy Saturday in Canberra and there's not much else to do except go bowling. Who would have thought that we'd get our second bowling outing in 2 weeks, and unfortunately I wasn't able to better my score of 139. It didn't really matter though as our mate got an amazing 6 strikes in a row. Lucky we got photo evidence.

Day 115 - Monday April 26th 2010

Heading home to Sydney after our long weekend... on a bus. This will be our home for the next 3 hours.

Day 114 - Sunday April 25th 2010

It's ANZAC Day - and what better way to spend it than at the Canberra Services Club playing 2 UP. Tim, loving an audience, lined up to be spinner... and here he is in the middle of the pit.

Day 112 - Friday April 23rd

What better way to spend the ANZAC Day long weekend than in Canberra. The home of the War Memorial. This time we've caught a bus in, and waiting for us on our arrival... 10 different types of scotch!

Day 111 - Thursday April 21st 2010

I treated myself to a luxurious facial / massage at Alkaline in Potts Point. I never splurge on things like this, but after buying a half price treatment (thanks Ouffer!) I now know what I am going to spend more money on when I am rich. This photo was an attempt to catch the glow of my skin that a felt. Doesn't quite to it justice - but it was well worth it.

Day 110 - Wednesday April 21st 2010

A foggy morning always makes for good atmospheric shots. Here I am - walking across the Pyrmont Bridge at about 7.30am and Darling Harbour is covered in cloudy mist.

Day 109 - Tuesday April 20th 2010

Tuesday Night usually means a session at the gym. So here's a bit of my gym gear and sock.

Day 108 - Monday April 19th 2010

So I spent the whole day in Melbourne and all I got was this lousy picture from my window seat on the plane!

Day 107 - Sunday April 18th 2010

I made my first pie for the year. It was a pie for Timmy. Can you guess why?

Day 106 - Saturday April 17th 2010

** NEW FAVOURITE PHOTO **

Tim and I went on a great road trip today down near Wollongong to have a drink at the Scarborough Hotel. It was a fantastic view, matched by over priced food and a lovely glass of wine. On the way back we made a few stops - including this Hang-gliding area. With the coast on the side, container ships at sea - made for a great shot.

Day 105 - Friday April 16th 2010

I never claim to be a great bowler. But when a foe from the UK - who once snatched a game of bowling out from under my nose in Russia - I really had to beat his top score. Especially when he'd just gloated the night before that he'd got 129. Hmmm... does that score say 138..!!??

Day 104 - Thursday April 15th 2010

I'm taking one of the team's at work out for breakfast... and on the menu - Breakfast Gnocchi. Here it is.... I didn't know what to expect either but it's quite a work of art.

Day 103 - Wednesday April 14th 2010

I hate today.

Day 102 - Tuesday April 13th 2010

I'm not enjoying this week. Maybe the bubbles in the sink will make me feel better.

Day 101 - Monday April 12th 2010

It's darker now when I get home from work (darn you daylight savings) so get ready for a lot of moody shadow shots. Or tricky photos like this one - as a plane flies over head.

Day 100 - Sunday April 11th 2010

I've taken 100 photos in 100 days! To mark the occassion - the photo montage of 100!

Day 99 - Saturday April 10th 2010

Went to the hairdresser today and got my hair done. Feel like a supermodel. So I'll pose like one.

Day 98 - Friday April 9th 2010

Dinner at Emma's on Liberty with a couple of friends. Food was great, but then kicked out at 8.30pm. So off to the Warren View Hotel for a beer or two. And a Guinness for Tim.

Day 97 - Thursday April 8th 2010

I love Mushrooms. Though as a vegetarian it's almost compulsory. For tonight's stir fry - I've bought an exotic collection of mushrooms - and I couldn't help taking a photo of these fellas.

Day 96 - Wednesday 7th April 2010

Welcome back to the Pizza Blog within a Blog - as Tim and I work to eat our way through the 10 Best Pizza Places in Sydney. This week it's Lucio's Pizza in Darlinghurst. The venue was great - nestled in among the old Republic Building on Palmers st. But how was the Pizza? The crust was a lot thicker than our other favourites, and not quite as crispy. The toppings were very fresh - the mozarella on mine the best I've tasted. Tim had a calzone - he cheated. Out of the 3 we've made it to from the Top 10 though, it didn't quite cut it. We rated it #3 so far.

Day 95 - Tuesday 6th April 2010

I will not take another photo of food.... so instead we're getting into some more abstract still lifes in the kitchen with the vodka bottle.

Day 94 - Monday 5th April 2010

Remember that Pho we had last week? Well we're back again - only a few days later. We did go with friends this time, and I also got a dodgy shot of the vegetarian pho.

Day 93 - Sunday 4th April 2010

It's Easter Sunday - and what does that mean? Delivery of EGGS! But that's not what today's photo is about. No it's back to our kitchen for what should really be called 'A Series of Still Lifes of Food and the Red Chopping Board".

This time around it's Cheese and Grater - the final part to our freshly bought pasta from Haberfield.

Day 92 - Saturday 3rd April 2010

Tim and I live right next door to Haberfield - but we rarely visit. Regarded as having some of the best pasta and deli foods in Sydney - we thought that we should stock up on some Italian food (it being the Easter long weekend and all). There were lines outside the most popular bakeries, but on the advice of Tim's mum - we found a fresh pasta store and bought up. Here's a picture from the main intersection.

Day 91 - Friday 2nd April 2010

I'm in the mood for soups at the moment. And today the craving is the best Pho in Marrickville. Pho Bac Hai Duong on Illawara Road has been recognised as serving the best Pho in Sydney - and with a Beef (Tim) and Seafood (me) serving in our tummies we had to agree.

Day 90 - Thursday 1st April 2010

I've had to rest up this week and take it easy - so the best recovery food is... soup! And here is the results of my old family recipe. Carrot Soup.

Day 89 - Wednesday 31st March 2010

The sky offers up some great photo opportunities. Whether at sunrise or sunset - the view up our street between the cars and trees frames whatever crazy shapes and colours the night brings in.

Day 88 - Tuesday 30th March 2010

Today is a day of eggs - even though Easter is a few more days away. Tim likes to get his eggs earlier - so here are a couple of his early treats.

Day 87 - Monday 29th March 2010

Remember a few posts back I said this blog had a blog within it = the Pizza Blog? Let's add one more to the list. Not one of the Top 10 in Sydney, it's definately the most original toppings. Felafel and zucchini anyone? Sometimes dinner at the parents house means odd meals.

Day 86 - Sunday 28th March 2010

Today Tim and I took a two hour walk to Balmain and back. Tim also decided that he was going to eat five meals in that walk too. Starting with a Thai Beef Salad for breakfast, Chocolate Milk for Brunch, we were up to lunch at around 11am. Enter the Frosty Fruit at the BP station for this meal.

Day 85 - Saturday 27th March 2010

It was the first time I'd been over to see Sarah in Randwick all year. We had a lovely lunch, went to Bondi to shop... but I didn't take a single photo. Lucky I had lots of work to do today as well so here's a photo of my diary. (Like how I label my pens?)
