Well, it feels like the end of an era. The restrictions are lifting and to commemorate we finally decided to dispose of the growing pile of take away bags and boxes growing by the back door. Part of me felt like I should be embarrassed and a larger part felt nostalgic already for the quality time and food that the bags represented. This was the … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [50-56]
This week was eventful! We had my brother’s birthday and Mother’s Day with international food to celebrate. The week started as always with a visit to Rosella’s, this time for lasagna to tick of my trip to Italy for the week. Then dad got smoking for birthday celebrations and took us south, deep south. Then Mother’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a little breakie and … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [43-49]
For all those observant and caring people out there you will have noticed that Restless Legs got a face lift. Like it? That is thanks to my amazing house mate and her hardcore designing skills. Talking of fresh and new, I got to go to four new places this week; Lebanon, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Vietnam. Then I revisited Italy (always) and New Zealand… oh, … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [29-35]
Apparently I don’t pay for food anymore. No, I’m not stealing it, nor going hungry, but just thankfully taking advantage of the amazing generosity of others. Have you noticed a spike in kindness during this time? I know us Aussies were off to a rocky start with the great Toilet Paper Incident of 2020. However, the tide has turned and I find people to be … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [22-28]
Despite the lack of productivity everywhere I am actually feeling pretty productive this week. I managed to visit six countries and four continents! My taste buds went to Brazil, East Africa, Japan, Italy (as always), Israel and a sneaky bonus trip to Australia. There was cheap food, free food, bento boxes and Easter celebrations. So let’s take a look at the week that was… Brazil … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days [15-21]
Does anyone else feel as if they would like a refund on 2020? “Sorry miss, this year just didn’t suit me, I’d like a full refund thanks.” It’s not you 2020… actually it is, it’s all you, I feel that we are not compatible and I think we should go our separate ways. If you were like me, the beginning of 2020 was looking so … Continue reading Around the World in 80 Days
Scotland, Wales and the Great Britain itself. Love a solid road trip through the country side. It’s always nice when they speak the same language too… although the Scottish accent is at times undecipherable. From Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, through to Glasgow, the Lakes region, Snowdonia and Cornwall. There were castles, climbs, hikes, Peter Rabbits, whisky distilleries, scones and a cuppa (or two), … Continue reading UK Road-trip
One of the school holidays last year (a moment of thanks for a teacher’s life…) I went to visit my grandma. She lives in Bellingen, or ‘Bello’ if you’re a hip local, which is an amazing place were the traditional and classic elderly live in harmony with the new age hippy. It’s beautiful. You can go to the butter factory to lap up your butter … Continue reading Grandma’s House
eyesore noun a thing that is very ugly, especially a building. There is something endearing about the Gold Coast’s ‘ugly’ abodes. Despite growing up on the Gold Coast, it was only when I moved away and visited, that I noticed the distinct unattractive charm of the buildings on the Gold Coast. When I moved back, I was plonked right in the midst of the … Continue reading eyesore
