Well the sun was shining on my day off last Wednesday and I had a lovely brekkie with Jem and then bought a few cheap clothes, including a singlet which is what the ozzie's call a vest top, from Kmart in Bondi Junction then went into the city. Had a delicious ice-cream at the Royal Copenhagen and then walked down Kent Street to Darling Harbour, popping into to see my mate Helen who works at a cafe nearby. Darling Harbour is a huge waterfront leisure park which w...

Hope you all had a very Happy Easter and a great break from work! At the start of last week I had the worst food poisoning imagineable!

This was an amazing sight and we enjoyed it with a nice bottle of wine! We also had a great bavarian beer at the Lowenbrau Keller bar, The Rocks. I had a Hofbrau Munchen which is a pale coloured lager bier - very...

Well, Guy and Helen had to unfortunately cancel meeting up on Wednesday but we're going round to theirs for tea next week which will be good. I'm working six days this week but I had a lovely day off on Wednesday. The sun was shining so I went down to the Harbour and decided to walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge. The 'old coat hanger', as it's known, crosses the harbour at one of its narrowest points, joining central Sydney with the satellite business district in ...
