Night Out

March 03, 2014

Do you know that statistically March is our wettest month? Well after the weekend we've just had, there's was no doubting that. The veggie garden loved it. And we had orders to get out, including a kantha quilt to send to Greenland!  But by Sunday night, both families were going stir crazy being cooped up for two days, so to get out of the house, we met up at Churrasco Coogee for dinner. This Brazilian barbecue restaurant has become a local icon.  We love going there with the kids because it's family friendly, the kids and the dads, and all of us love the food. The Brazilian waitresses greet you with a smile that only they can do and they love the kids. We usually go on Wednesdays which is rib night. The marinated ribs are to die for, juicy, tender, delicious and everyone, including two year old Remy, munches on them down to the bone. Anyway, last night turned out to be a really relaxing way to end the week. The service was great, the kids chatted to each other and played on their iPads and we had a couple of Asahis and talked about the big week ahead. Then we raced home to watch Schapelle on SUNDAY NIGHT! Just jokes!!

Till next time!!

When thinking about home interiors, like me, you might cringe at the memory of your childhood home. The best version of our family home was new green carpet and a black high-backed vinyl lounge with orange nylon-cushioned seating. My mother was proud of her modern choices and teamed up the “mod look” with a teak extender dining table and a sliding-door settee.The bright green kitchen cupboards and red laminex kitchen table and chairs were all part of the ‘70’s look.

When we married and had our first child, forty years ago, our search began in earnest, for a home; somewhere to raise our family. In those days, it wasn’t unusual to seek out houses for sale in the classified adds of the Sydney newspaper. And that was how we came across our first home. Situated at the bottom of a hill, looking north over the southern headland of Coogee, we loved it the minute we saw it. It wasn’t grand, with one and a half bedrooms and a tiny kitchen and bathroom, but it was perfect for us.  And I remember thinking that I would never again wish for anything more in my life. Well, that noble thought didn’t last long, because over the next five years two more babies came along and we needed more rooms, more space.
