Next year I turn 40 and would love to go see Europe: France, Italy, Malta (Dean is Maltese), maybe Croatia… The cruel reality is that I would not be able to do that and see my family (siblings and parents). Instead, I will go to Florida, where both my siblings live. I will start off […]
View ArticleAnother year passes, and another trip to Falls Creek. This year I didn’t ski, due to financial restrictions: Dean (my partner) and I were saving for a house. Having said that, since the cabin had already been paid for, we decided to join in the fun and have a good time with family. As a […]
View ArticleSo I recently booked my time off to go on the family trip to the snow (Falls Creek). My leave got approved and the cabin had already been booked. This year we won’t ski as this is a ‘saving’ year. So this year we’re taking the time off to be with the family and do […]
View ArticleI have, mostly, finished editing the photos. Some of them did not come out great when I printed, and so I will have to work on them further. The others are great. Below is a bit of the photos that I have selected from all the ones that made it. The three photos I have […]
View ArticleLast night we ate at a very ‘safe’ restaurant. The food was good, but they only made really easy to please/safe cuts of meat type of meals. As an example: I had an eye fillet with potatoes, asparagus on its jus and Dean had a sweet massaman type curry. All too safe. The wine was […]
View ArticleDay 2 of the trip started well. Had a great filtered coffee (batch brew) and breakfast at Larder. Beautiful Ethiopian beans and great take on Eggs Benedict (with peas, bacon AND pork and a hash brown). I would definitely come here again. Maybe not on this trip, as it would be interesting to get to […]
View ArticleI have to say, Daylesford is beautiful. Today we went to Wombat Hill Gardens (with brunch) and then to the Daylesford Lake. Brunch was good, I had a BLAT (BLT + Avocado on bagel with a fried egg). To accompany, an expresso martini. The lake was beautiful and we had lunch on deck… where I […]
View ArticleSo this will be my first time going to Daylesford. I’ve lived in Melbourne for over 6 years now and have not been there yet, quite shameful. It will be cold, but the place is supposed to be magical: spring water baths (heated), a lot of nature and remote enough from metropolitan areas to allow […]
View ArticleSo my Easter weekend away has been great so far. The house we’re staying at is very nice but isn’t as nice as the one from the previous year. At the end of the day, it satisfies our sleeping requirements/arrangements. Our days have been filled with activities, including calamari fishing (on/for Good Friday), walks along […]
View ArticleI have finally finished editing the photos for the Lakes Trip. Well, almost. I thought I had finished editing the photos, but then, when I opened up the night sky photos on my iPad, I was slightly disappointed with the excessive amount of stars that can be seen. It has basically lost the beautiful shape […]
View ArticleToday was a very awkward day. We got up, the boys came to pick me up, we checked out and went for breakfast. We had a reasonable breakfast, nothing too fancy, and hit the road towards Ballarat, where we would have lunch with a friend of ours. We were aiming to get to Ballarat for […]
View ArticleThe way things are going, I’m just going to post half-way through the day, don’t think it will make much of a difference. The morning was great and on the way to Dimboola to take photos of the Pink Lake there, we stopped by the Green Lake that’s about 8km from Sea Lake. Nothing really […]
