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.

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

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.

Saturday, April 3, 2010

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.

Thursday, April 1, 2010

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.
