Christmas in Carlton.
25/12/2011
This year, Friedel and I hosted her family’s Christmas lunch at our home. ‘Twas a very German Christmas, with her parents bringing most of the food up with them from Tasmania. The sauerbraten was amazing, to be sure.

Back homeGrease and Golf.
25/06/2011
Had some friends over for lunch, yesterday. It turns out I was more interested in photographing the progress of our ‘Bacon Explosion’ concoction than the people surrounding it.
I did manage to snap some shots of our spontaneous visit to the Albert Park Driving Range in Melbourne, though. You can see those, and more horrifying greasiness, after the jump.
Easter Feast… and Miscellany.
27/04/2011
Still full on memories of the feast that greeted us at the family Christmas last year, we headed down to Tasmania this past weekend for an extra-long Easter holiday with Friedel’s family.
Here’s a few shots from the veritable buffet that awaited us, and a couple of other shots under the rule of ‘just because’. Above are my four eggs from the massive batch of hard-boiled eggs we had to get painted before the guests arrived.
Last Barbeque of Summer.
20/03/2011
Winter is on its way back into the Melbourne lifestyle, but a few pleasant days remain and I made the most of Saturday’s warmth by having a few friends over for a barbeque.
I also bought myself a ‘new’ bicycle, which you can just make out in the background of the below photo (after the split). It’s a 1996 Trek 470 Fast Track, and I bought it off a friend who picked it up for a song and restored it over the course of a few weeks.
I’ll take some nice photos of the bike when I get a chance this week, but for now, some barbeque shots. I really do love this camera o’ mine.
Lunch with some Ninja and a Very Fast Ford.
19/02/2011
What’s the collective noun for ninja? Is it ninjas, or does it remain ninja? Perhaps it’s ninjai…
I caught up with some car-loving friends for lunch today, with the main focus (see what I did there) being the Ford Focus RS that I picked up for work this week.
Red Hill Farmers’ Market and the Mornington Yacht Club
4/02/2011
Despite the threat of continued storms all across the state, we jumped in the car with friends Kev and Aly today to check out the Red Hill Farmers’ Market down on the Mornington Peninsula.
Afterwards, on the way home, we detoured through Mornington to see what’s what.
Christmas in Tasmania.

I spent Christmas in Tasmania. Now, more than a month later, some photos.
Christmas Dinner with Steph and Her Crew
19/12/2010
My friend Steph invited me out for a Christmas dinner with her, her fellow and a number of her friends last night. Resulted in some great shots.
The Weekend That Was
14/11/2010
Fuh. A relatively quiet (and plenty enjoyable) night on Friday watching Michael Palin docos and drinking expensive French cider was followed on Saturday morning by a fantastic home-cooked scrambled eggs this utterly amazing fresh bread from some bakery in Nicholson Street.
At 30, that’s my idea of a good time!
Saturday afternoon saw us kick off festivities for Kev’s buck’s night, with the groom and groomsmen heading down to The Jam Factory to watch Red. Excellent movie. We missed the first 10 minutes of course, because none of us bothered to tell the groom that anything was even happening!
Now that’s solid planning.
After the movie, it was off to the Tiki Bar for drinks, along with the presentation of Kev’s costume (the poor bastard) and the challenges he’d be facing for the night.
A great time was had, though I don’t mind admitting I went too hard too soon, and ended up heading home early. Don’t quite recall the trip home…
Brekky And Wandering
1/10/2010
A few snaps this morning. Such a beautiful day in Melbourne. Heading out again shortly. Must hang my washing out…
This morning we ate at Cavallero in Collingwood, which we’ve been to before and loved enough to return. Last time we sat at a big communal bench, and this morning we sat at a little round table in the window. I think I preferred the communal bench. It was a big heavy sleeper-like wooden thing, and it was just oddly nice to have strangers around, happy and chattering away.
I had the baked eggs with tomato, baby spinach, some sort of cheese the name of which I can’t recall… curses.
