Great weekend, relaxed, great (cold) weather, lots of eating, no riding, but hey, it’s all good :)

I just finished designing the new winter brochure for the ACP. My sister Jamie and her husband Richie helped on this one. I know they say to avoid working with family, but I thought we made a pretty good team!

Rozelle Markets are fantastic if you love antique stuff.

Great views to be had at the end of Darling St. Balmain. I’m a bit envious of the people who live there.

Fry up at the Sydney Fish Markets. As much as I love fresh seafood, the way they season the goods just ruins it but I always go back for more (?!).

Dropped in to Deus on Sunday, gawked at their hot bikes and splurged out on a new Jacket.

Whilst I was there I picked up some old skool Moto grips for my deathtrap bike.

One of the highlights of the day was grabbing some fresh Chinese bakery buns from Eastwood. They were so good they had me making audible “Mmmmm’s” down the street.

Looks great. I’ve spent hours of my life on the Gran Turismo series (and most of the cash I’ve ever earnt, it’s the game that inspired me to buy and modify my GT-R!). I hope I stay away from it?!

Awesome photos from today’s flat track event by Matt Mead.

My bike started 1st go which was awesome :) I’ve got a serious fuel leak issue which I’ve just fixed now that I’m home, my drive chain stretched (or the tensioner gave way) which caused my chain to come off a few times, that kinda ended my night (not to mention I couldn’t see jack shit, it was getting dark!).

Last night Christina and I had our Engagement dinner (my mum’s side) at Bennelong (Sydney Opera House). The night was amazing, the moon was out, projections on the Opera House, great weather, people everywhere and the food and service was amazing.

The beautiful view from Mum’s balcony. Check the reflection of the moon on the ocean.

The Opera House. The changing projections were awesome!

Our table for 15 in the Opera House.

Our menu which we got to design (we got to choose the dishes!) and Christina created the logo of 2 bulls (we’re both Taurean) forming a heart, our initials are also in there (C & J). More detailed shot here.

She’s now ready for fuel!!!

Almost there!

I’ve been staying at Mums lately as there’s no kitchen here, and the bedroom walls are absout to come down. It’s all coming together though… I think?!

Guest bathroom.

Bedroom wall will be opened up and that other room becomes part of the bedroom.

The deck before the slats went on. The new stairs are twice as wide as the old ones.

The slats are on, we have put the slats on in a very unconventional way, this way (they’re on their sides) you can see through them a lot more than if you just nailed them to the posts. We’re suuuper happy with how it’s turned out! Bewtter pics are in order.
