yes welcome to simmering sydney, where it's 9.25pm and steamy.
the festival of lisa is ongoing - happy birthday - have been called back to the pub for stage two. amazing meal at bonsai japanese restaurant last night in bronte, incredile flavours and textures. black sesame cheesecake mmmm counteracted by the organic brown rice, pumpkin and adzuki bean. you gotta have some indulgences. in fact that's my homework for the week as part of overcoming anxiety - get up and walk first thing every morning, and indulge yourself every day... hmmm I think I can do that! don't seem to do much else somedays.

had a fabulous time at lawsons auction house this morning, giggled at the auctioneers banter - while all the dealers are surly and stony faced - and bought a few chairs and japanese silk hangings for $5 and $1. not bad at all. had to restrain myself from buying the german piano for $20. nesting away here in my temporary ephemeral home. but as tiki said, home is wherever you are. funny watching people bid for some of the ugliest lights and ornate furniture I've ever seen - most of the stuff I liked was very unpopular. good to know am still out-there.

anyway, the fireworks are cracking down at darling harbour, the girls are waiting at the royal and I will love you and leave you for now.
