Meet Miles Murphy. Isn’t he perfect?!

Miles and Mum.

At 9AM this morning my sister Jamie gave birth to little Miles (I knew it was going to be a boy!!!). He’s amazing! I’m an Uncle! Uncle Justin! :)

Coastal Walk

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Walking for about 1km over these rocks at Lurline Bay at high tide made for some exciting moments.

Hun buns.

The path gets really swanky at Coogee, very nice planning.

This big rope mountain climby thing was still there, albeit less red than it used to be when I was in uni. Couldn’t help but climb to the top for old times sake.

We’ll have one of everything please.

The mains – very nice, entree’s were awesome too.

When we got home from our walk we spotted Mia Mau Mau in the window :)

I’ve not seen my bunny in a couple of days (been missing her!), we planned to hook up today as she’s got Friday’s off. Sun was out and she’s been itching to do some exercise so we made the most of the nice weather and decided to do the coastal walk from Maroubra Beach through to Coogee Beach.

We’ve tried it once before, it goes a bit funny after all the rock work, and the path forces you back onto the street, but this time we forged on and re-found the right track.

The walk was awesome, beautiful views along the way, really nice houses too (especially the concrete castle near Coogee!). We unfortunately undid all the hard work with a fancy lunch special at Ceviche. Entree, main and a glass of wine for $28, so much win!

Catchup with Stevey

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Here’s a guy I used to have breakfast with every morning, when he had a mobile job fixing servers. He’s been owned now for some time though, and I very rarely get to hang out anymore so Stevey and I hooked up for dinner last night.

Plan was to smash a Chicken Jaeger at Una’s but in the end we decided to drop in to Kelly’s in Bondi for ribs (I always think I’m going to run into friends Alan and Carmen when I go to Bondi! hehe). Kelly’s were on fire, ribs were crazy juicy and we were served by Christina’s favorite waiter, Orlando Bloom, who’s cut his hair, and is now wearing glasses so he doesn’t quite look like Orlando Bloom anymore, but it’s still service with a smile! The guy is a champ!

I failed to finish a small serving (so much meat on the bone!) and Stevey failed to finish a regular. He’s a hurricanes man, but I think he enjoyed the ribs at Kelly’s. I bet any money he’ll call me up in a month or so with a craving for ribs at Kelly’s.

Check the space

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Carpark outside is off the main road, quite private and can fit 100 cars or so.

The front of the warehouse, gotta love that old skool brick!

Looking in, what a blank canvas. There’s a garage door at the back too (2 street frontage).

Looking back to the front.

Upstairs office space.

So yesterday I hooked up with the g2s guys to check out “the space”. I’m in love, really. Retail space, office space, community space, gallery space… I’m in, let’s do this!

Jamie’s Baby Shower

Posted on 11 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Mum went to town with the baby decorations.

Cup cakes!

The nappy poo game! Christina had been busy in the kitchen microwave melting chocolate bars beyond recognition and packaging them into nappies.

They also had a custom singlet making activity by the looks of it. This is Suga’s one (I love it!).

And the rest of them.

Late afternoon I picked Christina up, many of the ladies had gone home but I snapped this shot of the few guests that were still around. That’s Jamie with her eyes shut.

My sister Jamie had her baby shower today. Christina helped to organise the day and threw in some fun games – guessing the diameter of Jamie’s belly by cutting a length of string, as well as pouring 10 melted chocolate bars into nappies and having guests eat and guess what chocolates were what!

Richie and I were there early on to help set up, but once the women started pouring in we hit the eject button and made a dash for the pub!

G’day – Richie is now officially an Aussie

Posted on 10 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

They printed out the national anthem for all, 2nd verse was on the other side. We sung it twice, once with a recording which sounded like the first ever recording of the anthem, lovely, almost as if it was playing on a gramophone.

Where’s Richie.

Richie picking up his certificate from the mayor.

Hey, nice stock! Congratulations mate :)

Each new Australian was given a native in a pot plant, nice touch I thought.

Richie & Jamie.

Last night Mum and I went to Richie’s citizenship ceremony at Randwick town hall. There were a lot of Aboriginal flags decorating the hall, and it was nice to hear the mayor welcome the new Aussies to land which belongs to the Aboriginal people past and present.

It was a slow start, felt a little like being at school again but once it got going I was surprised at how quickly and easily it all went. The crowd was split up with Aussies at the back, and soon to be Aussie’s up the front. They were all told to rise, swear a short oath and that was it!

Dejavu

Archibald was great this year, so much more technical than previous years I thought.

Great stuff at the AGNSW right now. Lower floors, go, go now.

Got wood?

Falling leaves at Botanical Gardens.

I’d never seen the succulent garden before in the park, so so so good!

Lunch at Otto (very nice!).

Drinks at The Opera Bar. Vivid Sydney is on right now, despite the cold there were heaps of snappers out and about to check out the crazy projections. We’re sure Vivid is just going to get better and better every year.
