Day 243: August

I have been very slack with blogging but here are a few pics from August.

On day 220, Mark and I took a day trip to Brooklyn and met Bel and John for fish and chips for lunch. The fish was so nice and fresh! We took a little walk to the water's edge.



On day 232-234, we had my brother and his wife and my baby nephew come visit. This is some photos while we are out at brunch at chowder bay.









The breakfast was yum and they even remade it for us from scratch as it went cold when we were tending to nephew's urgent feeding and changing requirements. Now that is what I call good service!

On day 239, Mark and I went to dinner with Danny and Krystal at the good old Belgium beer cafe. I normally go the mussels but on this night I was living on the edge. It was Ok but I would have been better of staying with the mussels.


And thats the only photos I took on my ihpone in August kids!

Day 212: End of July

As you can see I had a great July, especially all my various birthday celebrations in the first half. The rest of the days were spent at work working very long and very hard... Unfortunately it's just that time of year. But amazingly, overall it was still a fabulous month! :)

Day 206: Drive up to the northern beaches

Mark and I took my new car for a spin up to Palm and Whale beach. We had a lovely lunch (lobster thermodore! yum) at the new Ripples @ Whale Beach.

Day 205: Interstate get together

I caught up with some lovely girls from NSW, Qld, Vic and WA today (and Fri night actually - I was the host for that event at Encasa which was v yum!). Saturday was a food and fashion extravaganza.

This was my first outing in my new car too - it was fun zipping around town in it!

First up was breakfast at Kazbah in Balmain. This place is awesome. Its Turkish I think. We had a set menu. First up was different porridges. Then we got eggs and all the extras plus tangines and then we got giant pancakes. All the food is share platter style. So good but quite rich and very filling.










After breaky we went to Leona and quite a few of us got dresses. I got a great dress myself that the girls helped me picked out.

We then went to Zumbos (from masterchef) and lined up (for a long time!) for macarons and other treats.



Then it was on to high tea at Observatory. This was a lovely afternoon chatting and drinking champagne.


I then headed home for an outfit change and then headed back into town for dinner at China Doll down at Woolloomooloo!

Woah what a day!!! It was great but I was quite buggered by the end of it.

Day 203: My new car

Is now in my possession and safe in my garage :) :)

Day 201: Knight and Day

Had a dinner and movie date with KK. Dinner with Karen was lovely but Knight and Day was a bit b grade...

Day 199: I bought a Car!

My husband and I have been looking around for a car for me for a little while - we knew what we wanted, a BMW 120i. We saw a good price on an Oct 09 demo model and decided to go check it out at the dealership. It is black (the colour I wanted) and gorgeous and a great price so we bought it! yay! We pick it up Thursday. I can't wait!

Here is a couple of pics of my new baby:

Day 198: My awesome new lounge

Remember when I showed you some swatches, cushions and artwork in June to go with my new lounge setting? Well I received my new lounge and my new occasional chair today and its all set up! I love it. And it's all so comfortable too, essential for lounging around :)
