Audrey's Jugs

Watermelon and vodka cocktail

One fine Friday afternoon both Jessie and I had hair appointments. Not wanting to head straight home and do nothing for the night we organised drinks at The Royal http://www.theroyaleastperth.com/ Audrey joined us so our drink session turned into ordering jugs of cocktails and we know how much Auds misses her jugs. I must remember never to leave my phone laying around when Auds is drinking. My FB will never be the same.

Peninsular Tea Gardens

With our love of baking and good English china Liz and I from work decided that we wanted to try all the places that do high tea in Perth. So on the 16th January along with Judi and Marie from work we ventured to The Peninsular Tea Gardens in Maylands. http://www.peninsulateagardens.com/.
 

Me, Judi and Marie, poor Liz was taking the picture

It was a hot summer day and the location on the river delightful. It was such a shame that the service didn't live up to its reputation. Our tiered food arrived and we patiently waited for our tea and coffee. In the end we had to ask again for our drinks. Note to staff, when serving pre-made food allow to come to room temperature instead of serving straight from the fridge http://www.peninsulateagardens.com/thenewmenu.pdf  Oh well plenty more places still to try.

A New Year

This years New Years Eve was a rather quiet one. We went around to our friends Gus and Kellie's house for a BBQ along with Craig and Jess. We had a bit of a laugh as Kellie had two single girlfriends over and one other single guy, let's just say the testosterone was flying. After playing Jenga with two stacks of blocks we called it a night.

Sunset at Coogee Beach

Over the rest of the New Year weekend we had another BBQ at home New Year night followed up with an afternoon swimming at Coogee Beach with fish and chips for dinner.
