Sweet friends

K's boyfriend is currently away with the Army. T and I undertaking Operation keep K busy and we've been thinking of things to do on weekends to keep her busy and also so we can all catch up.

We went down to Bulli for a picnic on Saturday. The weather was windy and cold and we lasted 5 minutes, literally. Off to a restaurant we went for lunch, at 11:30am. Lucky they open early!

We sat outside, since the undercover area was quite closed in. There was also one of those big gas heaters, which I promptly turned off by moving it. Lucky the staff were understanding and came to light it again for me.

The name of the restaurant/pub was Scarborough Hotel. The set up was fantastic. You could choose from indoor seating, outdoor undercover or out in the open overlooking the water. If there was no wind, the day would have been picture perfect.








T had caesar salad, K had a Roast pumpkin salad and I had a Thai Beef salad. All great options.




We then ventured in to Thirroul where we found a few cute little home wares/gifts shops.



Such a lovely day, with beautiful friends.

Fun at the pub

Have you ever decided to get dressed up to go and eat at a not-so-fancy place? 

Friday night, I went to work drinks and when I got home I was starving. S's younger sister, D was staying over, so we decided to head to the pub. I had just bought new boots and a new floppy winter hat and D told me to wear my new heeled boots with my big floppy hat..so that I did.



We also took my iPop phone..clearly having an interesting conversation here.



A trip to the pub is not complete without a cider. Fact.

When we got home, we played with the colour selection mode of the SLR to take some photos. D is a great model for this, since her hair is so radiant!


The only colour in this picture is D's hair and skin, pretty cool!

Flashback Tuesday



S will be using my macbook until Wednesday, so I took the opportunity to jump on his old dinosaur laptop to have a look at all of the old photos we have on here.

Here are some for your viewing pleasure.

Friday, my favourite

I have to apologise for my absence this week. S has his final exams next week and has been using my laptop. His is on it's way out so he is using mine because it actually opens documents without having a hissy fit.

Here is my life in iPhone pictures from the last week.
