This week's offering from the book and food files is Elizabeth Captive Princess by Margaret Irwin accompanied by chicken quinoa salad with snow peas.
Although I no longer work at Plonk, I was kindly invited along to the Christmas function, which was a fabulous trip on a boat on Lake Burley Griffin, with a great array of food (cooked by one of the staff members who is also a chef) and, of course, some excellent booze!
The sunset on the lake was rather gorgeous.
And then the sun went down and the lights went out, so we continued telling stories by torchlight.

When someone new starts at work, what do we do? We take them to Space Kitchen to eat cake!

Some more bits of graffiti near my workplace:
This is what I get up to at weekends and the middle of the night - agonising over whether my team can score more points than their team; we're not even half-way through the season and it's nail-biting stuff.
Same book; different lunch...
Bubbles with friends (two and four-legged) is a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the week.

A visit to another friend allowed me to indulge in gin - via their specialised advent calendar.
