I’m tired and grumpy today, even though it is a beautiful autumn day in Hobart. I haven’t been sleeping well as my hips and ligaments are giving me grief. Poppy even told her Dad this morning that “Mummy’s ‘gumpy’”! Ah the delights of pregnancy! I need to laze in one of these for the rest

Vintage Bally
Unfortunately I have no recipe today, but I do have a set of spunky legs in this gorgeous vintage Bally poster.
On another note, my dad is having a major operation in Hobart today. We all look forward to hearing of his progress this afternoon. ♥
Audrey
I have always loved Audrey Hepburn and her elegance and style. The above image has always been one of my favourites … and it hangs with pride of place in our Den. I love the ‘old world’ charm of ‘Holly Golightly’ standing outside Tiffany’s in New York, with her coffee and bagel.
So it was to my utter delight that my dear friend Annabelle had a ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ inspired 40th Birthday Party on Saturday night. I (tried to) channel my inner ‘Audrey’ and donned the diamonds, pearls and fur (and my growing tummy) for a fun night out. Apologies for not posting any photos of the party – my camera wouldn’t fit in my Tiffany bag!
Unfortunately Poppy was ‘out of sorts’ this weekend, so I haven’t posted any photos of her today. I think she has more teeth on the way. xx
Back Online!
Finally I am back online! I didn’t realise how much I relied on my computer until it wasn’t working and I really missed posting on my blog. There is only so much you can do on your iPhone! I have had a busy couple of weeks – with another long weekend thrown into the mix.
I’m Still Here …
… but my computer isn’t. Nick has inserted the new screen but he is away all week and still has it with him. I can’t believe how much I am missing my blog.
In the meantime here is a photo of Poppy loving Maisy’s new bed. If only Maisy loved it as much. Xx
IT Glitch
Unfortunately I won’t be posting any blogs this week as I am experiencing a few glitches with my MacBook laptop. Be back soon. xx
A Luxury Baby Shower
There is no recipe today due to my busy weekend – which included a ‘Luxury Baby Shower’.
Our good friend Cherida was visiting from Adelaide this weekend and she is due to have her baby in late March. Our friends – Jo, Jen, Clare, Manni and I celebrated Cherida’s impending ‘motherhood’ in luxury! It was wonderful to see Cherida pregnant and she can still rock a great pair of heels!
We checked in to the Sullivans Cove IXL Executive Apartment and met up for an ‘official’ Baby Shower on Saturday morning.
The obligatory baby shower games ensued, with Jen showing Cherida a viewing of:
I popped home for the afternoon to see Poppy and Nick and then met the girl’s for a drink at the Henry Jones Hotel Long Bar. We returned back to our abode where Clare cooked a beautiful Puttanesca Pasta. I made a Banoffi Pie for dessert which was unfortunately a failed attempt as it didn’t set and was far too sweet :(.
Quality time with fabulous women in a luxury apartment in our own city. Bliss xx
Bushfires Appeal
It didn’t feel right to post a frivolous ‘Lemon Tart’ recipe today, when I see haunting images like this and so many Tasmanian families have lost everything. 😦
A Fall from Grace
Unfortunately I don’t have a recipe today due to my trip to Melbourne at the weekend. Stay tuned for next week! I did however have an embarrassing encounter yesterday afternoon. Nick picked me up from work and I had to pop into Coles on the way home to grab more nappies for Poppy. I was
Date Night
Last night, Nick and I went out on a little ‘date’! Now that we are more ‘housebound’ with Poppy in the evening, I tend to go out with my girlfriends, whilst Nick stays at home, or he goes out with his mates. I was mentioning this to my dear friend Annabelle, and her and her
