We've been looking at properties a lot lately, particularly in Marrickville. One major draw card in the area for me is a little chocolate shop and cafe called Adora Handmade Chocolates.

Little shop-front - blink and you'll miss the goodness!

I don't usually care much for Valentine's Day, but falling on Saturday this year provided the opportunity for me and Alec to spend some quality time together.

We started in Bondi, hoping to go to the bagel store Glick's. However, Glick's is closed during the day on Saturdays, so we wandered up the road to this quirky cafe instead for a huge brekkie.

After viewing some houses in the area, we stopped in at Vicini to get a feel for the area and try some pizza.

The sign out the front said it was rated highly in the Sydney Good Food Guide, so we had to try it out.

Show me the food!

On this beyond hot day, Alec and I took a trip to Narrabeen to cool off.

After watching Gran Torrino at Bondi Junction on Australia Day with Alec, Jan and Uncle, we stopped in at the Max Brenner Chocolate Cafe.

I had a hot chocolate with waffle balls (delightfully sweet and milky with crunchy waffle balls) in a Hug Mug, and shared strawberries and chocolate with Alec. All I can say is yum, yum, yum!

Pics from one last lunch with Beverly and Lisa before Beverly takes off to Shanghai. We had to check out a new place at Crows Nest, The Counter - custom burgers.

Lots to chose from!

We decided finally to order proper food at the Chocolat Cafe, and it was fabulous!

Buffy drove us there. She is an excellent driver.

Beverly and Chris arrived home from Singapore this morning, so we met up for ferret handing over and lunch at Khacha Thai in Crows Nest. It was also the last time that we would all be able to get together until Bev and Chris' wedding in August - I'm going to miss you guys!

Khacha Thai is a great little place with very large portions, making it a ( Read more... )

A rare day out in the city with Alec, his dad and his dad's wife, Lisa.

We started out at the Monet exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

I love Monet, particularly his waterlilies that he painted at his house at Giverny. Alec and I are planning to go there when we are on our France trip in 2009, so it was great timing!
