Attica

Many many MANY months ago, I had the pleasure of dining with @g_melbs  @bookshopaddict @injerarufus and @annetreasure at Attica. (I have just checked the dates on my photos and it was September 2010 that we visited. FOR SHAME LAZY BLOGGER. FOR SHAME!) We dined on a Tuesday night which meant that we were able to sample the Chef’s Table: a five course experimental degustation for $95. Matched wines... read more

Ocha

One of the things that I love the most about Twitter is that it is no longer quite so odd to meet up with a bunch of random people you met over the internet. Yes, there are still a few massive freaks out there in Twitterland who really should stay behind their keyboards instead of venturing out into the world, but Twitter has put me in touch with some pretty funky people.

My first EVER running event. The first sporty thing I’ve participated in since high school. I am getting nervous. 6 months ago I couldn’t run to the end of my block without passing out on the pavement. And now I’m going to run 5km with... read more

Blog?

Why am I starting a blog? In a word: Twitter. At the risk of sounding gushy and a bit pathetic, Twitter has had a big impact on my life. And not just in terms of the hours I’ve clocked up sitting at my computer, neglecting my work/family/Mr. Twitter is freaking brilliant – and unless you’re a part of it, it is very difficult to understand why. Twitter’s greatest appeal? It brings like-minded... read more
