Lately

Though I couldn't imagine doing it myself, I found inspiration in the life story of "Morgana Muses", as featured in the documentary, "Morgana". There was only a handful of people at Dendy Newtown for the Saturday morning screening this weekend. I quite like early Saturday screenings. They remind me of going to "the pictures" as … Continue reading Lately

Then, all of a sudden, Sunday afternoon … Continue reading Busy Weekend (Eating)

Blanca Bar & Dining

"I've heard mixed reports", the barman at a nearby venue told me when I mentioned I was meeting a friend for dinner at Bondi's "Blanca Bar & Dining". "It's Mediterranean food, with "Japanese flavours", the waitress told us. And with a Finnish chef! What an odd combination, we thought. As you'll see from the photographs, … Continue reading Blanca Bar & Dining
