Lots of room for mushroom!

I love the mushroom soup from Betelnut Cafe. It's thick, creamy and so very tasty. Full of mushroom flavour!

Ideal Homes Exhibition

At some stage over the weekend my sister and I plan on visiting the Ideal Homes Exhibition. It is on in the RDS which is about a 30 minute walk from my house. Amy wants to have a look at what a hot tub supplier has to offer.

Read her blog post about her thoughts on hot tubs.

Gardening with Starbucks

The Starbucks I go to every morning gives away free grounds for the garden. I used to add them to my compost heap that I had in my last house. Now I just add them directly to my soil. Hopefully my flowers are coffee drinkers!

On another Starbucks note, they have introduced a new espresso blend. It's the "Origin Espresso" - wow it is so tasty. The barista suggested it to me yesterday and it was the first thing I asked for this morning!

Stupid FB Games

I've always avoided those silly Facebook games (FarmVille and the like) as I have an addictive personality and I tend to overplay. Back in the '90's I would play Tetris so much that my eyes would water - I was pretty good at it but my studies tended to suffer.

Last week I succumbed and downloaded Candy Crush. I've been happily playing it all week until I realized all my plays were coming up on my feed!!

Tonight I play my last game. I am going to delete the app. No loss I reckon!

Freaky monkey

Look at the glass box above the shop. I have to drive past this freaky monkey everyday on my way home from work. I find him very disturbing!

Stormy weather

We had a storm last night! A serious gale was blowing. It was after 2am when it quietened down and we finally got asleep.

I met a colleague in Starbucks this morning and he told me it was force 10!! Lots of cancelled flights this morning as no airplanes could land last night.

I'm in work now and I'm very tired!!!

Soup of the day

Thai Noodle Soup to takeaway from Betelnut Cafe

I'm a little disappointed. I thought it would have coconut milk.

It's a very thin soup. I tossed in some sundried tomatoes to bulk it out.
