Brisbane Goodtimes

Rinske and I flew into 'BrisVegas' today for Xanthe and Allen's wedding tomorrow. We spent some time wandering... And wandered through the Davies Park Markets. Sugar Pineapples, local bananas and Raspberry Cider! All enjoyed in 26 degree heat, while folks in Melbourne carried on the business of Grand Final Day in 14 degrees and even less! Oh yes.... We gloated.

Brownies for a Wedding

My lovely friends, Xanthe and Allen will marry each other tomorrow afternoon. This last week, I've been baking up some brownies to take up to their nuptials in Brisbane.
There's now 120 brownies (half of them Gluten Free)ready to contribute to the party!

Hanging with Pablo

It was my pleasure to meet Sheila and Sue, Finn and Trin in the city on the first Sunday of school holidays. We spent a sunny afternoon hanging out in the Children's Garden at the Botanical Gardens. We explored caves in old tree trunks, bamboo forests and the veggie patch. Good times were had by all.

Spring

The weather in Melbourne is starting to feel more like Spring. The temperature is rising, trees are greening up and blossoms are blooming. Yesterday, as I walked to the post office I passed a hedge covered with Jasmine. It smelled amazing.
