The weekend was a flurry of activity: a gig at the Oxford Art Factory on Friday night, apartment hunting in the morning, the Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris exhibition at the National Art Gallery in the afternoon and various errands in the city, cake baking (I was asleep for this bit) and picture taking for our photography assignment.
I had on a pair of leather shorts/boots in morning but changed into something more appropriate for the sudden reappearance of the sun (in case you’re wondering about the rogue gray shorts). It has been raining all week, and finally we had a little window of sunshine in the late afternoon which has thankfully carried on until now.. This waffle knit sweater by Free People is just about the most perfect thing to roll out of bed into.
We had textbook Summer weather on Sunday, but spent most of it indoors at class, and then gathered round at Raymond’s for a dinner that consisted mainly of spicy food and wine – a lovely wind up to a rather exhausting weekend. Hope you had a lovely one!

W and I checked out some bits of the Sydney Architecture Festival that’s going on right now. W and I are both involved in the (video) gaming industry and found the talk on Art, Architecture and Design: Working within Public Spaces at the Sydney College of the Arts pretty fascinating.. especially the bits involving using CryENGINE3 for real-time visualising in architecture.. sorry if this all sounds Greek to you!

On the weekend W and I went up to Boomerang beach (fondly known as “Boomers” to the locals) that was right next to Blueys beach and on the doorstep of Booti Booti National Park.. Australia sure has a way with names! It was nice to get away for a couple of days. I only seem to ever eat junk food on roadtrips and had a record breaking two meals at Maccas.. urk! And our digs were a lot nicer than it looked in the pictures which is a first!

We had a late breakfast (3pm?) of scrambled eggs and spicy chorizo at 2042 with a little lychee, mint and pineapple frappe to kick start the day. I always love wandering around the area. Just discovered the Greek Welfare Centre on King St, on the weekends there are a few stalls selling all kinds of Greek trinkets which I regret not buying more of when I was there!

Saturday was rather serendipitous – in the morning it was Vic’s Meat Market Day which was perfect timing for Dr G’s for a BBQ later that evening. It was my first time at the Market Day and I love it! Vic’s sell the best quality meat in Sydney I think. I bought so much! Thankfully they have an industrial sized vacuum sealer there, I have some amazing steaks in the freezer for later this week.
