He gave me a vegemite sandwich...

Well, the journey is over and I am back in Australia with a sunburnt left arm, it's a long story but it doesn't help that I came back to the middle of summer.



The last week in Toronto was very special Jenn managed to surprise me with courtside tickets to a Raptors v Hawks NBA game, GO RAPTORS! IT was a lot of fun and I love surprises. Following this Jenn and I met everyone at 'The Drake' hotel where it was shots all round and "let's start a couple of tabs we'll worry about it in the morning" kind of night... It was nice to say goodbye to all and I hope I see them again soon.

After recovering from a hang over, Saturay night included a $150 comp'd dinner at Rain, one of the nicer restaurants in town. Food style was Japanese fusion tapaswith some interesting combinations, my fav Wagyu beef and blackbean (flavour of the night) and Jenn's was the mushroom taster. All very nice and sophisticated, thankyou BCG for the farwell dinner!

I know Jenn was very happy because after dinner it was three and a half hours of Pictionary with mojitos and martinis to boot. All in the comfort of Jenn's apartment. Unfortch I discovered I am pict-yslexic and couldn't tell a cat from a reef....? On the other hand Jenn has discovered her psychic abilites are enhanced after a few pomegranate mojitos!

4 hours later I was up and heading to the airport, the only sad thing is I don't know when I will be seeing Jenn next although I think it will be around Easter, hurrah! Thus it was goodbye Toronto and see you soon Jenn, and off home...

Although on the way I thought it fitting that I live the jet setters dream and stop off in Manhattan for lUnch with Oliver and Julian before really heading home. So, in the next 32hours I was visited Toronto, New York, LA and Sydney, not bad!

It's Now 2007!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has made some good new year's resolutions. I know I made a few while trying to cope with a slight hangover... The NYE celebrations included about 500 people, all you can eat, open bar and dancing! Did I mention the indoor fireworks, it was an awesome night!

New Years day was just as good, Jenn, and I took her family to a relaxing high tea at the Royal High Windsor hotel. So much food and different types of tea, it felt like I was back in the colonial days, all proper and such.







This year has started out very well indeed.

I would like to note that on the 29th of December there was about half a cm of snow. Unfortunately that was the extent of the snowfall. This was quickly followed by the warmest New Years Day in 27years, 10 degrees C. I have a strong feeling that this is the last sign of snow before I leave in only a few days. Oh well, so much for the fierce winter that is meant to be synonymous with Canada.
