The Don's Meddle

What seemed to be a quiet weekend turned into one of those busy weekends, well busy on my liver!    Friday night I organised another fabulous wine & cheese tasting event at work, this time South Australia was our region and I frantically ran around (called Kemeny's, ask for Andrew, he is amazing with his knowledge of all things wine) to get appropriate region wine and beer delivered to the office.  My favourite was a Rose crush of mine Mrs Wigley's Grenache Rose - perfect for this time of year (or anytime really). David Jones Food Hall - seriously everyone loves it there (I mean there is food there from all around the world), just a pity that the service is just so slow. Took me 12hrs to find out what cheeses were from South Australia, lucky I had already researched and had a list of products. Needless to say the event went off without a hitch, lots of tasting, drinking and the boys were super happy with Coopers Pale ale. Success. Saturday I had a party for ...

Last night I conquered the gruelling 1255m up Mt Fuji – 45min from the base ascending up to the 5 th climbing station that has left me still feeling zapped today.   The sun was shining and the sides of the road were covered in snow.   Traffic was light and only a few cars passed us on the ride. Scenic Cycle at Aurora Place is the most amazing little cycle studio.   They have a special on at the moment that you get two rides for $20!

September - hello lover! How I love thee warm mornings .... after the last few weeks of rain and lugging around jackets and umbrellas, it was truly lovely to not wear boots and just wear a light cardie to work this fine first day of Spring.    I don't do cold, I hate the cold/wet! It is fine now and then to laze about under a blanket in front of the heater with a glass of red but predominately I love the sun, surf and g&t's!  I love the warmth of the sun and swimming in our gorgeous pools and oceans.   But summer is a little while away yet... so patience must be had!  Besides the summer body is SO far from being revealed (where did my tan go?)!   So many fun things happening this month:-   FMS Photo-a-day (PAD) Challenge If you have been living under a rock you would of missed this fabulous creative challenge that brings so many people together who all take the days word/prompt and capture a picture they feel resonates with ...
