A Warm Breeze Blowing Thru Sydney


How wonderful is this photo? 
Can you imagine yourself sitting there, with that gorgeous blue ocean 
whilst feeling a comfortable breeze blowing through your hair? 
I could not be appreciating this more on this chilly day in England. 
My friend Z. sent this photo to me. She lives in Sydney and attended 
the Sculpture by the Sea 2010 exhibit over the weekend.


Z. is not happy with the heat in Sydney at the moment. 
She says it is so humid that if you stand still
you will grow mould. I think I could even take that right now.

This photo brought back wonderful memories. 
Z and I were great walking buddies.  We would rise early, 
do the walk and then do the talk at the local cafe. 

This is where we hung our hat for a few years. It was our home.
Each morning, I grabbed a cup of coffee and wandered out to this spot.
Telescope in hand I would check out the horizon.


Sunrise, sunset and the fullness of the day. 
It was always spectacular.


and...
last but not least another photo that 
brought a smile to my heart.

Oh, Happy Days!

Now back to my side of the world....
Have you heard about the engagement of Prince William and Kate? 
Did you watch Prince Charles and Diana's wedding all those years ago?
Want a little trip down memory lane?

Apologies for not supplying the details for the first
exhibit. I looked everywhere and could not find it.

Squisito!




Ever have that first bite of a meal when you know that you are about to have the most wonderful taste sensation?  The kind that makes you take a deep sigh and just say 'wow'? The kind that makes you so excited that you want to share the experience with everyone at your table? Well, this happened to us yesterday at Pendolino in Sydney. The dish is called SPAGHETTIA CHITARRA CON PESCE D'ACQUADOLCE with freshly-made Chitarra Spaghetti (saffron infused) with Barrumndi, Wild Prawns, Chilli, Capers, Garlic and Pinot Grigio White Wine.   I love Italian food and this was devine.  If you live in Sydney, intend to travel there or know someone who is ....tell them to make a reservation at Pendolino (www.penodolino.com.au ). Squisito!
