From the moment I walked through the door to Yard Bird Ale House at Paddington, I knew I’d found what would become one of my favourite date venues.

Les Bubbles, Fortitude Valley

They had me at ‘bottomless fries’.

Housed in what was once an illegal casino, bathhouse and brothel at the centre of the Fitzgerald inquiry of the […]

Pig N Whistle, Fortitude Valley

A couple of months ago, I made a spur of the moment decision to break the lease on my two-bedroom north side apartment, sell almost all of my furniture and move into a one-bedroom apartment in Fortitude Valley.

Screaming for ice cream

Last week I had a dream come true; I opened my front door to a delivery of free ice cream! Two tubs each of Harry’s Ice Cream Co‘s premium Peanut Butter Fudge, Sticky Date and Triple Choc Brownie. Shockingly, I wasn’t aware of the fact that July is International Ice Cream Month, but apparently it started […]

How to beat the big freeze

The Big Freeze. Snowmaggedon, Antarctic vortex. Whatever you call it, there’s no denying that Australia’s eastern seaboard is under attack from mother nature with wild winds, plummeting temperatures and apparently, the almost unheard of, thundersnow!
