meanwhile at the mechanics institute

i recently went to the mechanics institute for a cheeky sunday drink not realising that was cheeky short sunday.  all the waitstaff were wearing, shall we say cheeky shorts and i had the best time, exploring the extensive alcohol range and checking out the umm... "shaker collection".

the location of this joint is perfectly fun and the atmosphere is excellent. offering delicious takeaway from flipside and a supremely terrific collection of beverages i recommend this spot for your next city adventure. thank me later....

a slice of heaven

there is nothing that I love more than complex carbs, well at least this week!  who knows what next week will bring and if it is as delicious as these pizza's, i cannot wait.  family dinners are such an occasion with my family and once a week we pull out all stops and enjoy the ritual of cooking and eating together.  this is my little attempt at a casual family dinner last sunday.  a few glasses of wine and some sunday night tv, what more could you want?

spring through the subiaco streets

spring has sprung and nowhere is this more evident than in all of the front gardens around subiaco.  walking through the streets last weekend i had the joy of snapping a few little homages to spring, mostly flowers, but as you can see - the occasional 'spring clean' item. aren't you just loving this change in the weather?

a picture is worth a thousand words

dreaming of a perfect little getaway

this week i would love nothing more than to be the proud owner of one of these rooms. i love my books and it would be so amazing to come home to a room like this and curl up in front of a fireplace for a few hours before bed (particularly this one to the left, with the dreamy white couch?? no?) . i'm currently finishing 'death comes to pemberley' which is so terrific and bed is my favourite spot. what are you reading at the moment, anything worth recommending?

neighbourhood pizza

a while back my family and i hit up neighbourhood pizza for family dinner and it was just delicious. we arrived early, just after 6, yes that is right senior citizens dinner time.  steph had warned us there were would be kids everywhere and she was right. it was kind of insane as there were tears and screaming, but there was also a lot of laughter and smiles from little ones.

then all the families left and the calm set it in. our pizzas arrived and wow it was just perfect. so  perfect that i took friends back there recently, they loved it so much that they have also taken a number of friends. well done pat and steph this place is a huge success, will be heading back soon!!
