Joy!

Spent this afternoon at a winery near Woodend watching my beloved perform in the chorus of Pirates of Penzance, eating cheese and drinking wine. Joy!

I has an iPhone!

First post sent from my iPhone. Yea!

What apps would you recommend?

Progress on my wrist...

I had a good moment this afternoon on the way back from the physio - I'm up to Exercises, not just stretches.

Basically it's now stopped healing and I'm up to rehabilitating my wrist. I've got a piece of silly putty that I'm supposed to squish between my thumb and hand.

It was neat walking out of the hospital as a healthy, recovering person. Somehow the wind was less cold, the sunlight just a bit more summery and I was walking just that little bit lighter.

I'll be strong like He-Man any minute now - Mt Arapiles here we come!

How cool is my mum!?

Last night our cute (but short) bartender host, Ben, made an original cocktail from brandy and peanut butter and ice cream and vanilla, but didn't have a name for it. He came over to our table to have a chat, and Mum suggested "Devil's Advocate". Two minutes later we overheard him telling the table next to ours that his new cocktail was called just that. My mum named a new cocktail. How cool is that!?

Next time you're at Madam Brussels, skim through the cocktail list. You might even see it there.

Prom prom prom prom

A couple of days ago the news came through that we've won the booking raffle for the Prom this summer - got the sites booked that we wanted!!

We've got 2 sites next to each other for the 2009 Australia Day weekend - right near 4th ramp and the Beach Block toilets. (Hot running water baby!)

The List so far:

• Sam Marion and Euan
• Anna
• Stephanie and Gustav
• Tania and Lucien
• Brent Tali and Ella
• Cliff and Karin (my mum and dad)
• Dan and Mia

It's going to be great!

An Open Invitation

We were discussing today about how easy it is just to talk about things that annoy us, but we don't often talk about the good news in our day... the small things...the kittens. We thought: "wouldn't it be nice if we had a place where we could talk about the good stuff that's happening", so we've started a blog about just those things.

This isn't only about us, though; we'd really love you to read this blog and contribute to it yourself. If you'd like to join in, let us know!

Ladies' Night In The Parlour

Tonight I'm meeting up with a few friends for Ladies' Night In The Parlour at Madam Brussels:

The next forum will be hosted by the handsome and award winning cocktail expert, Mr Benjamin.

He will walk you lovely ladies through some cocktail basics. What to order, how to order it and how to get the bartender's number! There will be plenty of sexy cocktails to drink and a few hints on how to make cocktails at home with all those half empty jars in your cupboards.

I'm excited! So... cocktails at my place this weekend, anyone?

I can play guitar again! Woot!

Last night I played guitar for the first time in about 12 weeks. My wrist is now healed enough that I can start playing without too much difficulty.

I played a couple of Weezer songs, a Ben Folds number and what I remember of "Run to paradise".

I love the feeling of the strings under my fingers - a guitar can go from inanimate object to breathing living beast just by banging it with your hands. It's just a simple pleasure - but that means it's the best type, right?
