Happy Easter Everyone! Mark, Alysha, Stef and I decided to escape for the Easter holidays with a wee drive upto the Tamborine Mountains just past Brisbane. The journey is 1950km so we left at 6am Friday morning. With dawn approaching we bombed it across to north Sydney, on to Newcastle and up onto the Pacific Highway which is one windy road along the East coast all the way up to Brizzie. Stopping at a couple of places in the middle of no-where which resembled an image out of a cheap horror movie we stretched our legs and re-fuelled. Steph who is [View Full Entry]

BBQ Booze up Friday after work, us girls decided to have an aussie style BBQ in the park. Loaded with snags, buns, onions, bottles of pop and picnic gear…not forgetting the GOON, we fired up the Barbie for a feast! Megan, Stew, Shannon obviously thought it was a posh do as bought along marinated butter chicken with peaches and a spinach and strawberry salad. They definitely gave my good old favourite Jamie Oliver a run for his money as their food tasted PUKER INIT! We had a right laugh, it was the perfect way to start the weekend. As the sun [View Full Entry]

Boozy Birthday Weekend Mark and I invited Emma and Gary over for dinner Friday night. Marked cooked a gorgeous asian dish and we had ice-cream laced with liquor; compliments of Mark’s sister Jeannette, followed by bottles and bottles of wine!

We added to this when we went up to the Hunter Valley and he has just bought a box of my favourite Sweet Ava from coffield estate in Rutherglen - near Melbourne.

Harry's Cafe de Wheels and a night trail through Sydney Emma (wicked Scottish chick I work with, is on a round the world trip with her boyfriend Gary) and I decided that we would go on a stroll after work to the Botanic gardens to play with our new cameras. Little did we know it would turn into a midnight trek around the city! We enticed Garry to join us by saying we would be stopping at the famous Harry's Cafe de Wheels, which is a moveable food van, similar to those found at funfairs. Despite being moved a number of [View Full Entry]

We have a new addition to the family! A little 8 week old puppy called Chelsea. She is gorgeous, a little fire craker, always playing and getting under everyones feet. She loves toes and fingers, is nipping everyone but is so loveable. Me fear of dogs is slowy dissapearing as they are all dog lovers over here. For the first time I let it lick my face...YUK! After the episode at John's house where his dog decided to run and jump me, humping my back...three times in one evening....I was shaken after that I tell you! We have not had much [View Full Entry]

Toukley Truth or Dare I was invited up to Blake’s holiday home in Toukley. His house sat right by the river with the most amazing view. We arrived about 10pm on the Friday evening and dived right in to the alcohol. I met some awesome people up there. We sang, danced, drank and drank some more. We were all mega pyromaniacs and had a huge fire, the boys getting a bit too overexcited and putting extremely flammable objects into the fire pot which was the barrel of an old washing machine. Guests at the party included; someone who thought he was [View Full Entry]

It was a great walk though....and my weeks worth of excercise :D x Alysha [View Full Entry]
