Xenia's birthday lunch at The Incinerator

A wonderful new restaurant to try out. 

Krissula's 77th birthday

Oh how I love this beautiful group of people. We went to Foy's restaurant above The Flying Bear which is more expensive than we are used to, but the food was delicious.

Balls Head: The perfect place for personal development

 Xenia and I have been meeting at Balls Head each Friday as part of a personal development project we are both working on.  So lovely to do it in nature.  It really is a special place and only a few minutes from home.  We are always paid a visit by the local bush turkeys. I love them so much.

Swim and grilled fish at Balmoral

 I met up with Chris and Xenia at Balmoral. Always lovely to spend time with them.

Frenchy's for lunch

 It's always a delight to meet up with this beautiful group of people. I had my usual dish: Goat's Cheese Quiche.

Xmas 2025

Xmas in Sydney

I spent Xmas with Shushann, Allan, Xenia and Judie.  Lovely succulent turkey and pavlova were the culinary highlights. We had a bit of a sleep and then did some karaoke with Xmas and other songs. A beautiful day with special friends.

 

Xmas in Cape Town

The family did their main meal on Xmas eve. Xmas morning brought on the ritual swim at St James.

Personal development with Xenia

 Another great session at Ball's Head, followed by lunch at The Coal Loader.

Personal development and meditation with Xenia at Brennan Park

A blissful morning. Xenia and I met up in Brennan Park, a lovely natural setting, to work on a mutual personal development project: Creating clarity on what is important to us and a vision for our ideal lives.  We then did a meditation and went on for lunch at The Third Rail in Waverton where I savoured one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten. 

Lunch at The Alchemist with Xenia

 I love this little cafe in Cammeray.

Frenchy's for lunch

Frenchy's has become our new regular haunt. Food is great and the girls are in love with the French waiter who I must admit is quite a dish !

Back to Milson's Park with Xenia

Xenia invited me to lunch at The Flying Bear in Milson's Park. It didn't matter that I'd already been there earlier in the day with the Photography Meetup. It's such a beautiful spot at the moment.

 

Nushi's birthday at the park

Shushann's beautiful doggie, Nushi, turned 11 so we celebrated with a get-together at Milson's Park. Lots of throwing and chasing. Nushi still has a lot of energy for an 11 year old!

Helping Xenia setup her new iPhone 16 Pro

Xenia came round to my house to setup the phone. Her previous phone was an iPhone 6 so it was a massive upgrade. We then went to a local Waverton cafe to celebrate and she treated me to lunch by swiping with her newly installed Apple Pay on her phone!
