I heart icecream...

One of our favourite rituals when we head to the great South West is top head to Simmo's Icecream shop. We have been there countless times on a hot summers' afternoon and sampled many of their fabulous flavours. From Rum and Raisin to Mars Bar to Mascarpone and Fig, there is something for everyone. Great, now I am craving a scoop and it's not even lunch time!

Cousin S sent me this photo of her Dad, brother R and our Grandad having a cheeky cone or two. Delish!

 

I highly recommend!

The simple things that make you smile...



When you're having a crappy time at work, it's nice to have work colleagues who do little things to try and cheer you up.

T Dog Tuesday

Morning peeps!

 

Another great week in the life of T Dog. Mum and I went on a massive expedition around the Swan River. Obviously being as hot as I am I needed to cool down. As you can see, Mum has been teaching me how to put filters over my photos so I look even better!

 

Even though I have the biggest ears in the world I pretend that I can't hear her when she calls me to get out of the water. She is so dumb and falls for it every time.

 

Haha!

Bar hopping in the sun!

Friends J, K and I hadn't caught up in a while so we spent Sunday afternoon bar hopping around Perth.

 

We hit up The Garden in Leederville as a starting point and as the drinks started flowing before you knew it we were two bottles of wine in and jumping in a cab to town!

 

Bob's Bar is on the roof top of Print Hall, a new bar that has opened in Brookfield Place at the bottom of the new BHP Billiton building on the Terrace. Here are a few snaps of our afternoon.

We then moved on the The Aviary for some more roof top action before heading to the Mechanics' Institute, one of Perth's newest small bars in Northbridge.

Drinks flowed way too easily, and as always the conversation went from up here to down there. Another successful afternoon!

Recreating 12wbt...

So the festive season may have caught up with me and I am rehashing some of the best Michelle Bridges 12wbt recipes.

 

My stand out favourite was Caramelised Pork with Sweet Potato Mash and Apples. Here it is!

 

I cannot get over how tasty yet healthy it is. A even loves it (but his portion size would not be approved by Mish) and I highly recommend you give it a go!

Brag book!

Here is an updated pix of my nephew O.

He is channelling his Mexican heritage.

 

Sister E and husband O have unfortunately had to push back their down under trip due to a few hiccups with paperwork and getting baby O's passport - the kid is already on the 'International Wanted List'.

 

Hopefully not long until I get to cuddle him!

A Little Princess

In the wee hours of yesterday morning the world gained a brand new princess, Charlotte Grace.

 

My dear friends S and J will be the most amazing parents - Miss Charlotte you are one lucky little lady.

 

I cannot wait to meet you.
