Canberra Day and Other Celebrations

We had a lovely time with the Kays at their annual Canberra Day curry lunch. I only managed to get a picture of one said Kays but they, and everyone else, were in fine fettle.

It seems that hats worn at an extreme rakish angle are all the rage, according to the Box Officer and Lovely Bonkers' Second Offspring. But, as they say in the gossip magazines (apparently), who wore it better?

And for the latest in the 'thinking while we're drinking' series, we have Barbara Erskine's Hiding from the Light matched with Him Outdoors' Cole Porter. In this instance the booze is much better than the book.

I went to see Oedipus Schmoedipus at The Canberra Theatre Centre featuring a cast of 25 volunteers acting out multiple death scenes from the classics of drama. Here are two of the culprits.

Design Diva told me about a show to which she is currently addicted called Nailed It in which contestants try to copy perfect baking with hilariously bad results, a bit like a drunken Generation Game contestant. In honour of that, may I present my own version of Nailed It with these pumpkin and cauliflower samosas.

For my first free Friday night in what feels like forever, we went out to a new-ish bar, To All My Friends. It has a decent tap list (including Modus Operandi Silent Knight Porter) but Calamity Sue is all about the bubbles.
