My Leading Man

Hi Trav!

For the man who has everything the only option was to push the boundaries.

So I created a special 30th Anniversary Issue of Leading Man magazine 

and asked our friends and family to honour you within its pages.

It's been so much fun putting this together and everyone has been really excited about it. 

I hope you find it full of great memories and reminders of how much you mean to all of us.

Happy 30th Birthday Babe!

Operation Adasch

Having passed the initial planning phase, Operation Adasch is now moving into position. The target's closest friends have all been alerted to the rendezvous in QLD, August of this year.

I really hope we can talk a couple of the guys into it - because afterall - it might be their 2nd trip to QLD within 2 months! Having said that, we're off to a good start, LA contacted me today offering to hire an apartment on the beach - apparently the do this every July so he's sure he could swing it for August.

We're off to a promising start!

A very very big week

Gamon St

Well Trav's birthday week started on Friday night -we me friends at Docklands for a wind down drink before hitting DFO Southwharf for a new wardrobe - on the way hope we stopped at Touks for a very late dinner and coasted home on the bikes with no helmets - that felt so nice!

Saturday was a beautiful day to ride to work and then we caught up with the old gang at Tracy's housewarming in Sunbury.

Sunday saw us meeting our new Maidstone mates at Fairbairn Park and Rossi was desperately trying to get in the water with Albert the Golden Retriever and Toast the Pomeranian X. Then we went and saw Tamz's friend's band Jarek play at Hardimans in Kensington before spending a delicious afternoon at Little Creatures Brewery Hall in Fitzroy. The Rogers Amber Ale is my new favourite and I'm wondering whether they actually hire out those cute red bikes hanging out in the entrance?

Monday night I missed tennis again because I was busy baking Trav a chocolate tart for work, and an espresso syrup chocolate cake for last night (the cake wasn't a bit success, I think it needs to be eaten when still warm).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!!! xxx
Tuesday morning I awoke nice and early and knocked together a fabulous bacon & egg breakfast in bed for my Love! I gave him a smart Fossil wallet, we then met family at the Station Hotel for an amazing dinner. I had wagyu beef rostbiff and it was superb! Coffee and cake at our place afterwards. He was spoiled with all sorts of gifts - mostly beer and cash!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!
Today is the day my new Pashley Princess Sovereign will arrive in Port. The coundown is really on now - hopefully I'll be riding it around this weekend! Oh - and it was even spotted this morning...see?

Here comes the rain

Thanks for the pic tome213

Mmmm I just love listening to the rain on our tin roof - I grew up under a tin roof and now can't imagine living without one. Note to self - dream home must have tin roof. Last night, just after we crawled under the covers and turned off the light it started, just a few sporadic drops to start with - when you're not quite sure if it's going to set in - but soon enough it was beating down steadily right above our heads - this is the best way to fall asleep.

Rain in Melbourne is a constant mystery, I'm not one to rely on the forecast (I don't believe it when they predict rain) so I'm often caught in it without an umbrella on the way to or from work. I like to think I'm helping to break the drought.

In a strange way, I look forward to winter - I enjoy hibernating inside in bad weather (always have a project or two going) but I also enjoy layering up and feeling the fresh air on my face outside. It sort of makes me feel like a child again - maybe it's also got something to do with my birthday being in June!
