Hello People

On Thursday night I had dinner at my friend J's beautiful home. There were lots of artistic little arrangements dotted about the traps.
The last time I saw this orange lamp it was being carried out of the Black and Spiro sale.
J has many talents, one of which is Superior parenting skills. She got her 4 divine children to bed and sleep with lightning speed and actioned a delicious meal. She also let me borrow some books. All in all an excellent night. I hope I get invited again soon-thanks J!

The 5 day Kennedy Inspired Camelot-esque FF Administration ended on Friday (on a Happy Note- there was no trip to Dallas-the whole Coalface Team and I went out for some soothing drinks)

This is a photo form the Huffington Post. Doesn't our Leader look nice? You could wear any of these get ups today. For the last day of my reign, I had lunch with my 1994-and-still-going-Lunch Team

I wore some OPI Pamploma Purple. It was Willow's colour choice. I feel it was the right decision.

On Saturday I met my girlfriends for brunch and lived on the edge and had a chai latte at Eurovida.

On Saturday night I went to drinks at Libertine and actioned some $10 cocktails. I think this is a Miami 2. Don't ask me why it's called that. It had agave syryp in it.

Then we all went to Peasant (I know. I am predictable)

These chicken livers and mushrooms were fantastic

I love a salt cod fried product

This is me. I'm in a By Malene Birger dress. I'm wearing it over a $15 lace top from a fancy designer emoprium we'll call Kmart . I think it'll prove handy for shoving under sleeveless smock frocks. The polish is OPI Russian Navy.

Today my aunt came down to Brisbane and we all went to lunch at The Chelsea at Barracks

The owner gave us all a complimentary glass of champagne! ExcitingFor $29.50 you can have 2 course and a glass of wine. It was all very cosy and French Bistro-esque. I loved it actually.

The other night J made me rhubarb for dessert. I'm a joiner so I'm poaching some in my oven right this minute.

is everyone loving this vanilla bean paste as much as me?

This afternoon I decided to sort out my overgrown front garden. It once looked like this, but neglect and drought has killed off a lot of plants that needed to be dug out. I thought I'd do a tiny bit of tweaking.....

and after about 3 hours of swinging a matic an going nuts with my secateurs, I have a huge empty area with no more dead woody plants or overgrown weeds. I just chucked some sugar cane mulch on it to keep the weeds away until I plant it out. Can you see my little aloe vera plant on the top right?

I'm thinking of channeling Janet from the Gardener's Cottage and using plants I already have for this spot. Like winter clothes I can't be bothered spending money on plants. Maybe I'll shove in some geranium cuttings, some lavender, some rosemary and some nasturtians. I might even separate some agapanthus clumps and hippeastrums and shove them in too.

why people dismiss geraniums is beyond me. I'm a Fan. They ask for so little and thrive on neglect. How nice is this bromeliad flower?

Now I'm off to action some hardcore Domestic activities at time warp speed and sort out my Messy home. I hope you don't have Sundaynight-itis about work tomorrow.
