Our Neighbour and the Passionfruits

We have great neighbours.

They are both pensioners so we have no worries about loud music and wild parties, and they always keep an eye on our place when we are at work or on holidays.

One neighbour is an old single Greek guy, the other a Dutch couple.

Our Greek neighbour likes to grow things. Last summer he had corn in the front yard and grapes out the back.

I was hanging some washing out this afternoon and noticed he was pruning back some kind of vine plant thing.

We said our hellos and he asked if I like passionfruit. Um, yes, yes I do very much so love passionfruit! He came bag with a massive bag full for us. I love neighbours!

This is where 3 of them went.

Tea, Scones and All That Jazz....

Last Saturday Mum and I went of to the city to see Chicago the musical at Starcity. Not before a lovely morning tea at Harrogate Tea House in Pyrmont.

Sydney was also hosting the boatshow, and didn't she turn on the good weather!



I could watch the fudge maker guys all day. I don't actually like to eat fudge, but I like to watch it being made.

So, do you put cream first, or jam?




Lead cast of Chicago (which was brilliant brilliant brilliant!)





Act 2 about to start.

It's just not a day in the city without a visit to the Lindt Cafe.

Lindt Macaroons (top l-r: coconut and vanilla, bottom l-r dark choc and milk choc)

The Classic Lindt Balls (l-r peanut butter, raspberry and cookies and cream)
Tomorrow is Friday, are you excited? I am. I hope you all have a great day.
