So Steve and I tend to cook on Sundays so I thought I'd share a pic of Sunday dinner Aus style chez Barley.
My birthday is coming up at the weekend and I managed to get my mitts on one of the presents from Steve.
Since coming to Australia we've often seen the odd episode of J.A.G. on mid morning weekend TV and we've alway enjoyed it without catching the series in the right order.
And now we can watch the series that spanned ten years from start to finish and indulge in bad tv!

What else have we been up to this past week? Steve is working hard as it's busy / silly season so I have been enjoying some mid week dinners once with Stefanie and we also caught up with Ling and Noah over a burrito to exchange holiday tales.
This weekend Steve and I tried out a new restaurant and then met up with Claire and Martyn for post dinner cocktails at 1806. We love 1806 as the cocktail list is great and it's table service and even Steve partakes in a cocktail or two although this Saturday night he went with beer.
Claire's favourite is the Japanese Slipper and if you're a regular reader you may recall my friend Kat renaming this the Chinese Slapper. I'm quite partial to one served in a tin can reminiscent of a raspberry milkshake called a Fizzical.

I've known Martyn to enjoy the odd Zombie although on this occasion he started with the dubious Margarita Custard. I've never been convinced by a Tequila custard or a cocktail that is semi solid but he enjoyed it and followed up with another custard - the Tom and Jerry which I tried and was like an adult version of chocolate and banana Angel Delight.
Last week was week 1 at work and it was a long week. I didn't work particularly long hours (thanks to the new role) but I have had a huge volume of candidates wanting to register, meet up, talk. I guess New Year is time to think about new job so they're all comin' a knockin'. I'm trying to respond to everyone but that coupled with other things means I'm still chasing my tail. I still remember how frustrated I was with not hearing back from recruiters so I'm conscious I want to respond but there's only one of me and lots of people to get to but I'm sure I'll get there. I'll keep you posted anyhow!
