Somehow I thought this year would pretty chill because the wedding is basically organized. It has ended up being the exact opposite. To put it mildly, I am basically fully booked up. So as well as going to Australia in December/January we are going for nearly three weeks in April. During this time we will…

Georgina’s baby shower
Yesterday I headed out in minus 5000 degree weather for Georgina’s baby shower. With a huge bowl of fruit salad in hand it would have been frozen had I walked there! We all had a lovely lunch as Jen made an awesome vegetarian strata. It was the best kind of meal for a pot luck-style…
New Years Eve/New Years Day
Here are two shots that I forgot to post that I had taken when we were at Doncaster – I wanted to pack this whole stand in my suitcase. I love how Twitter is being used as a selling point…! I forgot to note that in that first week, 2010 also begun. Oops. NYE is…
First week in Melbourne
The Sunday and Monday after Christmas passed in a blur of naps and doing absolutely nothing. My only next booked in day was Tuesday – Ev and I were going to hit Northland and Doncaster and then all of us would go out for dinner at the Lomond. I marvelled at the new Commonwealth Bank…
Boxing Day
I am going back and catching up on the Australia visit posts.. some of these may read more like a travel journal entry and sorry for no pics in this one. Christmas Day came and went in a blur as I was running on pure adrenaline and yet, there were a couple of more surprises…
2010 Australia Day Gala
On Friday night we held the annual Australia Day Gala at Cipriani’ Wall Street. This night is a lot different to the Benefit Dinner as it is fun, social and there is lots of dancing! Last year’s dinner was held at the Waldorf-Astoria and it honored Baz Lurhmann – this year as there was no…
The great apartment search of 2010 is ON!
The time has come to leave our little Chelsea studio and find a place better suited for two people and the possessions that two people ‘need’ to have. We’ve subscribed to rentdirect.com as we (or rather I) don’t have the time or patience to sort through the dodgy and non-dodgy Craigslist postings. Bill got this…
The Lion King with Whoopi
Last Thursday night, we went along to the Minskoff Theatre with Camille and Michael to see The Lion King. I had never seen the movie or the play or really knew anything about it. Bill loved the movie, yet had never seen the play. Something special about seeing it last Thursday was that Whoopi Goldberg…
Settling back into NY life…
My jet lag resulted in a few nights of very weird sleep patterns that I am glad have now left my system! I have a bunch of posts in the works about Melbourne – they are really wordy. Ooops. It was Friday night when Georgina posted this blog post and as a result I ended…
Sleeping through the night…
No – this isn’t a post about a newborn! Last night I slept through the night – from just after midnight until 8.30. I’m back on track – jetlag has disappeared so expect a few blog posts this weekend! 🙂 I cannot believe I am back (getting home at 7.30pm and being back at work…
