Let’s review. I forgot to put a couple of things on the list, so I should add those on for completeness.
Marinate roo (for dinner – Australia Day, natch)Sort deskPut all the things away!Make gyoza skins and gyoza- Go to Sydney for a decadent weekend
- Get my first som tam of the year (yum) at Chat Thai in Thaitown (still not as good as the Parap markets but that’s mostly just because I’m a wanker)
- Sip chilled wine with chilled people in a chilled-out courtyard
- Eat an incredible dinner at Sokyo (Moreton Bay bug sashimi holy moly)
- Have an amazing coffee tequila shot
- Be exceptionally hungover
- Have a breakfast tagine in Balmain (amazing, really, I should have taken a photo but was far too hungover)
- Pick up a salted caramel lamington from Adriano Zumbo
- Watch a middle aged woman with a small dog sneakily leave her dog poo in a bag on the footpath – possibly not realising (or more likely not caring) the entire verandah of the the pub across the road was watching her
- Watch the poor owner of the shop she left the bag in front of come out, pick it up, and look quite disgusted
- Go to a fabulous party in the penthouse at the Meriton and watch the Chinese New Year fireworks from above
- Swan around in my new dogstar splurge dress
- Eat a platter full of German pork products for breakfast (well, part of a platter) and rediscover my love of sauerkraut. And my love of crackling, although it never went anywhere so it’s not really rediscovery, is it?
Failed on the following:
- Knit like a mofo
- Repot shiso
- Split bromeliad
Will rectify those shortly. Just as soon as my liver stops whimpering.
