What to do with my hair? The age old question, the philosophical conundrum and the ultimate time waster. Women the world over mull over their locks. To grow it long, to cut it short, to colour, to nurture, to perm (which is like, so 80’s), to straighten (the GHD-revolution), to just do something… because I’m sure I speak for our entire species when I say we are just all So Bored Of Our Hair. 99% of the time.

Cone Bay barramundi with spanner crab and prawn tortellini, sweet corn and thyme butter

It had been raining all week. I prayed to the weather gods (or maybe I just asked the Café Sydney staff) to please make it not rain today, and look at the service. They not only made it not rain, today was the quintessential Sydney winter’s day – clear blue skies, a light breeze and 20 degrees. A perfect way to spend lunch with a colleague from the US, and his birthday to boot!

Persimmon and blueberries

It’s time for my mini instagram round up again. Read: I haven’t had time to write a real post this week. But that’s ok, I hope you get the same joy out of ogling my instagram photos as I do taking them. Easy, breezy, snap, post (oh wait, snap – filter – post), done!

I get so hungry looking at my own instagram feed 🙁

Mostly, I don’t really miss being in London. Like today for example, when it’s winter here in Sydney and it’s 20°C and it’s summer in London with a top of 17°C. You see what I mean? But what I do miss about London is the wonderful friends that I made there and all the fun times we had. Like this food on sticks party, which has inspired so many other sticks parties across the interwebs 🙂

Really, it’s just such a fun and easy idea and totally saves on washing up cutlery!

6: crispy scaled snapper, smoked potato puree, calamari crackling

Last Saturday night, Panu took me out to dinner. It was one of those no reason treats (the best of all kinds of treats) just because I am wonderful me, I guess 😉 Anyway, I’ve been wanting to check out Gastro Park for a while. I’d heard so many brilliant things about their weird and quirky food. For me, an enjoyable meal (and one worth paying lots of mulah for) is not always about quantity. I’m most impressed by things that intrigue me, surprise me, things that make me smile.

And Gastro Park most certainly did.
