Salisbury Festival 2009 - Vocal Sampling

If you like the sound of these guys they are on in Sydney at the Basement at the end of the month.

Found a great polling booth at Sydney uni that wasn't overly busy. Much better than the long queues at our local school.

Very convenient after an afternoon concert as part of the Jazzvisions festival at the Seymour Centre. Saw Sandy Evans and also the Vampires, much nicer than listening to more election commentary.

Mission for my shopaholic tendencies

I was thinking about how much money I waste in small purchases, to satisfy that shopping fix.

So I thought I would set myself a challenge. Each time I am in the shops and tempted to buy something "little" I will go home and put $20 in an account.

At the end of the year it will be an interesting exercise in how much I have saved.

So I have kicked it off on the 15th August with $20. Target now to reassess in one year 15/8/2011.

Brisbane

Probably a good place to visit in July, not too hot, sun's out. This is the walk along the Esplanade into the city, running alongside the Storey Bridge. Not sure of the quality of the cafes and restaurants, but they look good. The coffee at Groove was fairly average.











At the posher end of town, Vroom off James Street. I had breakfast and marvelled at what a difference a few streets makes to prices.

It was OK, but overpriced I think.

Best place for coffee around this part of town is Campos. You can rely on a good coffee there.

Sydney design - Pop out Cardspaper

We had a really good session courtesy of Benji, Paper engineer, Sydney Design and the Powerhouse museum on the weekend.

We now have learnt the basic (secrets) of pop up cards, origami cranes and paper hats!

Rather taken with the pop up dog card, sea dragon and we are going to give the horse a try.
