Breakfast sunshine

 

Nat here.  Had a lovely breakfast with the girls this morning at Spring, some time ago we started calling breakfast "breakfast club", it is supposed to be regular but never is!! It was so lovely to catch up, particularly on a Friday.  Hope you made it up there A.....

The cottage renos are going to be intense this week, last week before it's on the market (fingers crossed!)  The husband helped pick this for the kitchen today.  I know, I know, I'm a little "over" these signs too but it was $12.95 and it goes with our theme so.....

 
Happy Friday! We're off to Enoteca 1889 tonight, I've heard good things!

It has been more than 5 days that I have been whistling the tune...I am getting worried!  Happy Thursday y'all!

Sydney and other sunshine

Nat here.  Had a fab weekend in Sydney on the weekend for the lovely J's hen's, lots of laughs were had, this was us partying at the B&S themed hen's night...


Shoes off is always an indicator of a good time had by all.

The lovely hen J and I religously read FF's blog so it was fitting that I had my nails done, as did J - in the same colour...!


I was an adopted member of the W family while in Sydney, we enjoyed the sights and had a lovely breakfast at Bills in Darlinghurst.

No one does eggs like Bill..


Back in BrisVegas, the W's and husband and I went to a lovely degustation at Ecco hosted by Dandelion Chef Geoff Lindsay...here's a sample of our favourite vietnamese inspired courses..

 
 



Must go to Dandelion when we're next in Melbourne!  Happy Monday!

Old photo sunshine

Nat here.  Don't you love searching through old photos?  The husband and I cleaned out the garage on the weekend and I found some beauties, like this one of my Aunty's wedding, don't you love the fashions?  That's my Mum on the far right..in black! She's always telling me that black to a wedding is a no-no......
 

My Aunt and Uncle back in the day..it's his 60th birthday this year!
 

 
And one of my Mum and Aunt, this one would be over 60 years old!

 

The one below is only about 25 years old and is of my cousin and I - the daughters of the above photo, can you see the resemblence? 
 


God those thighs still haunt me!!

The art of photos has been lost a little with social media.  Does anyone print their photos anymore?  Me either...I really must. What will our children have to laugh at?!

General sunshine

Nat here.  BrisVegas put on some lovely weather this weekend didn't it?!  Nothing like some waffles in the sun to start your Sunday...


Comfort at My Table at Milton was serving the goods...when you're on to a good thing you must stick to it!

Equally comforting was the lemon meringue at Le Bon Choix Ascot, for those who like a good lemon meringue you MUST go there and have it TOMORROW!


Styling was in order at the cottage this weekend, I don't want to post too many photos as it's all a little unfinished..but I have to share our kitchen mat!  Pillow Talk I love you!  I think it's staying, we can take the tag off now!


I went to the ekka on Friday night with the W's and the P's...I know there have been some haters of the new strawberry sundaes but we all agreed they were delicious so congratulations RNA!   I can't believe it's over for another year...


I hope everyone is watching these two tonight on the telly...


With a glass of cardonnay of course...Happy Sunday!
