There are some events that you find yourself looking forward to for so long, that when the date finally rolls around it seems unlikely that it will be able to live up the heady expectations put on it. I had these concerns about Saturday night….. The waiting game for April 9th had begun earlier in […]

Time to jump on it (www.jumponit.com)! And this time with a voucher for the fabulous new XO Lounge at the bottom of the ASX building along St George’s Terrace. A fabulous deal for $89 – for a shared antipasto platter, then two mains, two desserts and a bottle of wine! Too good to pass up! […]

Saturday morning and GG snuck into work early to get a couple of hours in and I geared up for the launch of the new Les Mills classes at the gym – Body Combat at 8.15, back to back with Body Pump at 9.15. Totally brutal combination and the new releases were excellent! Can’t wait […]

Having worked in West Perth for coming on 6 years now its always exciting when somewhere new to visit pops up. Enter The Brown Fox.  The newly revamped Onyx Bar has been getting renovated since late last year and finally a few weeks ago it opened its doors. And what an impressive job they have […]

Once a year GG and I head down Benara Road, turn right down West Swan Road and drive down the long, scenic driveway to the cellar door of Sandalford Winery. I look forward to it every year and Sunday gone was our third visit. Always hard when you go to back to a place, will […]

Another deal to good to pass up on Scoopon – this time at the Byrneleigh Hotel in Nedlands, where I had wanted to try for ages! This time around deal was just $49 for a 2 course meal for 2 people, where you started with a Byrneleigh Experience Mixed Plate, then each chose a mains, and also got […]

Another day, another Scoopon experience – $149 for a Deluxe overnight getaway at Rendezvous Observation City Hotel in a deluxe ocean view room including a buffet breakfast for two and a bottle sparking wine on arrival and also a $60 voucher for the Pines Restaurant and parking. Total bargain! And sure we might live like 15 […]

It was GG’s 31st Birthday on Friday, so time to head somewhere lovely for dinner. Back last year, my good friend at work Nathan had taken his lady love Alyce to 1907 for Valentines and had given it a good review so I thought it would be a good place to go with GG and booked […]

I’ve worked in West Perth for half a decade now……… wow that’s scary to say outloud – how old am I!! And I’ve been to a few different restaurants in the West Perth hood and one of my very favourites is Amphoras Tapas Bar. Consistently fabulous and last Thursday was about my fifth or so visit. I […]

Crumpet was one of those places that I’d wanted to try out for a while, given that I’d read a few other Perth food blog’s give it a pretty good wrap. So one Sunday morning, GG and I headed out to meet my favourite pair of M’s – Maree and Michael – for breakfast. They […]
