Caitlin and I headed in to the city this morning to meet up with friends from the Hoyden About Town blog community. We met in the Queen Victoria Building at about 11am and settled down for a couple of hours … Continue reading “I Do” or How I spent my Sunday
There are many reasons why Adam is awesome. He produces delicious sourdough bread on a semi-regular basis. He takes on such projects as the sewing of reenactment clothes with enthusiasm and drive that gets me off my struggling-with-a-mood-downswing butt (hello … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
We went bowling this morning, it’s been a long time between visits to the bowling alley and we were all rather rusty. But no children’s tempers were lost and no muscles were pulled so all was well. We came home … Continue reading Sundays in My City
On Friday night Adam and I were up till 2am organising our stuff and getting the car packed for the Winterfest Medieval Fair. One day I’m going to do that thing I keep promising myself of sorting all the … Continue reading Winterfest Medieval Fair
Hosted by Unknown Mami We had a slow start today, a late brunch and kids who didn’t really want to leave the house. Adam persuaded us into dragging ourselves out to the car and off to the city despite the … Continue reading Sundays in My City – Sydney Aquarium
Hosted by Unknown Mami We started off with a lazy morning and a very late brunch, Adam cooked onion and bacon omelette with grilled tomato and mushrooms. Then we did a little bit of tidying up and hung two loads … Continue reading Sundays in My City – Last day of the summer holidays
Hosted by Unknown Mami Today was Adam’s 42nd birthday. The day began with the obligatory breakfast and presents in bed and then on to some slight silliness with Christmas tree decorating. Caitlin asked Adam to put an angel on the … Continue reading Sundays in My City – Happy birthday Adam!
Hosted by Unknown Mami Today I took Caitlin to the Opera House to hear Joss Whedon speak about his writing and directing career – from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Dr Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog and everything in between and beyond. Joss was fascinating and brilliant and funny and wonderful and when he tackle-hugged Wil Anderson* at the end of the show I was really rather surprised Wil didn’t fall over. The image of Wil with Joss Whedon’s legs wrapped around his waist is one that will stay with me forever. After the talk/interview/QandA session we retired to the bar at … Continue reading Sundays in my City – A visit from Joss Whedon
Hosted by Unknown Mami During the July school holidays my mum and I took the kids to Cockatoo Island for the day. Cockatoo Island, a former convict prison and shipyard, is the largest island in Sydney Harbour and when we went to visit it was being used as one of the venues for the 17th Biennale of Sydney to host 120 works by 56 artists. So we got history and art in the one go. A free ferry service was provided for the Biennale and we did the stand outside and freeze while looking over the side at the water … Continue reading Sundays in my City – Cockatoo Island
Hosted by Unknown Mami After having just a little too much fun last night I woke this morning wanting nothing more than to curl up on the lounge and pretend I had no responsibilities for the day. But we had Plans and there was to be no wriggling out of them! We dropped David at a friend’s place for the day and off we went to the city to visit the Art Gallery. It’s amazing how much difference it makes to be one kid down, everything seemed so much easier, even when Tom decide the exhibition we’d gone to see … Continue reading Sundays in My City
