Another week another thing ticked off of the list. This time it’s making my own pasta.
Recipe – 3 eggs / 300g of strong flour and a lot of hard work.
The pasta came out ok although it was a little on the thick side. Definitely easier to by it from a shop 🙂
G’day.
It’s taken a few days to update the blog but that’s because I am on the other side of the world and internet access has been scarce to say the least. I am currently in the Melbourne National Library which I have to say is a gorgeous building and a nice venue to update the wealth of people reading the blog.
This leads me on nicely to the completion the first of the three – # 18. Visit another continent. For the last week and a half I have been residing in sunny Australia, which as many of know is in another continent all together. It’s been a jam packed couple of weeks, starting in Melbourne and getting a camper van and driving up to Sydney via the Blue Mountains, Canberra and back to Melbourne.
It’s been a wonderful trip with my traveling partner Richard, who has been a great companion and kept me fully entertained a long the way. Enjoy a selection of some of the photos from the trip, I will add more to Facebook if anyone was interested.
#40. Grow a beard and keep it for a month
This one I have to admit wasn’t documented properly. You will have to take my word (and you can ask around if you wish) that it was completed, having a full and sexy beard for the entire month of January. I put the fact that I didn’t document this properly down to excitement and bemusement of getting ready to go to Oz. Anyways below is a sexy plane selfie pic of my beard on the 1st of Feb, after one months growth!
#90. Go to a concert
I am smashing through these. After a bit of research I managed to wangle some tickets (they weren’t cheap!) to see The National in the forecourt of the Sydney Opera House. It really was a spectacular venue with the beautifully lit Opera House in the background of the gig. The National played a compressive set of the majority of their back-catalog. It was a once in a lifetime gig and I am thankful we got to go!
That’s it from Oz. Laters!
