KT's Hatchday!

Last week KT had her big birthday evening. First we, including some of our friends, went to Govinda's for an Indian vegetarian buffet. We were going to stick around for the movie which they show after, but we took too long eating. They have nice couches that a person can recline on and watch a movie on a big screen, we will definitely go back another time. After dinner instead of the movie, we decided to go to Kings Cross for some upscale cocktails, we found them in the form of cocktails being served in tea kettles. While interesting, it was not the most conducive atmosphere for talking as the DJ was playing music too loud. So what better place to go than sing karaoke, right? Of course, we then moved on to karaoke where we all got into the fun and sang brilliantly, well it seemed like it. After an extra long session of karaoke KT wanted to go dancing so we were off to one of the bars with music we discovered only the night before. It turned out to be a night jam packed of fun activities, we started at 17:30 and didn't get home until 2:30. A very fun night, with everyone having a good time, most of all the birthday girl.

Celeb. Sighting

Last Night we were having a nice walk through downtown before dinner, when we saw a bunch of people standing around. We decided to walk over to see what the big deal was. There was Jack Black at the opening of that Panda movie, don't remember the name of it. He jumped over the barrier into the street to do some goofy martial arts moves before going in for more pictures. It was really random, and funny. Unfortunately we didn't get close enough for a decent photo, but it's fine. We wonder who we will run into next, will it be you?

A Little Change or Who is This Woman

KT decided it was time for a small change, and here is the result.

Huh?

Mmm mmm tasty.

Last week we went down to the Sydney Fish Markets for some fresh fish. We ended up getting some really, really nice sushi grade salmon, tuna, and kingfish. Later that night we had fun making rolls and nigiri. All we can say is, that is some tasty fish. Of course how can you have a proper sushi meal without some great beer, provided by the fine folks from Cascade Brewing Co. in Tasmania. This wasn't just any ordinary beer, it was Cascade's first harvest beer. It's only available once a year when the first hops and barley are harvested (hence the name) and then brewed still fresh and green.
It sure was a tasty meal, actually it turned into two meals. So for those of you that like sushi, we now know where to get some top notch fish.

The quiz was kind of a trick question. A dag originally meant the poo stuck on the derriere of a sheep. It has come to mean an uncool person as well. Thank you all for submitting those fine answers.

Sniffy

Some sad news to report. On Wednesday May 9th, 2008 our little brown buddy died. Sniffy would have been 14 in September, so he had a long life. Everyone that met him, well maybe not those little kids he growled at, liked him. He was a great companion and we have some very fond memories of him. He was a feisty character to the end, still giving Billy the stink eye for getting too close the night before he died. We will try to get a few more photos of his younger days and post them up, but these are from when he was an older gentleman. Feel free to post any stories you might have. Looking back on his life, it wasn't half bad, what with all the treats he ate and the places he went to. R.I.P. Sniffy, you will be missed.
