last week

i have a visitor! its my brother visiting us from canada. he has recently quit his job and needed a well deserved break so he packed his bag and decided to come for an extended holiday. its great.

 

since his arrival we have had a quiet week at home, letting him get over his jet lag.

 

i made a yummy dinner, wild rice casserole (no photo), a really yummy bean and pea fresh salad, it was surprisingly simple but a yummy new recipe

and for desert adam and i made a cinnamon and cherry tea cake.

i was given a jar of morello cherries at christmas and i wasnt sure what to do with them, but this cake was really nice.

 

not too sweet, and perfect with ice cream.

then we booked ourselves some flights to melbourne for the next week.

 

borris, adam and i hit the town. we went to the galleries and saw some cool stuff

the zig zag wall and a very interesting installation with 2 fans and some video tape.

the video tape loops danced in between the fans, it was really nice to watch

 

then there was a wall string art installation. this is the kind of thing where i think, i wish had done that.

 

like the string art of the past, only on a large scale. the intensity of the string changed as you walked through the space

we also spent a fair bit of time eating and drinking and walking around

 

the weather was on our side that week.
