Wednesday’s W(h)ine – bloody birthdays
Posted by: | CommentsSeptember is birthday month. At least, it is in our house.
Two out of five birthday’s occur in September, and I LOVE a good party. We celebrated our one year of being parents of three boys yesterday (actually, we celebrated over most of the weekend 
) with lots of different wines.
The problem is, whilst I personally LOVE a good party, I’m married to someone who’s idea of celebration is “oh, yeah, Happy birthday” and when I really push to do something that I like for my birthday, I get *sigh* “fiine, we’ll go out for dinner” and, if pushed more “with a few people”.
But I want a party!
Not bloody likely. So, I will indulge and spoil myself instead with a scrumptious sauv blanc from Marlborough, NZ (my favourites!) – the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2008. Descibed by me as …
Yummmm! Another glass thanks. And would it kill you to get me some cheese and crackers to go with it? Sheesh.
… and by the Wine Club people as:
It’s a little more on the expensive side, but worth it. Especially for a special occasion. Usualy $39, but only $30.99 from the Real Mums Wine Club.
(Which is free to join and can be done just here. Best of all – the wine is delivered free to your door Hurrah!)

Wednesday’s W(h)ine – Winter w(h)ine
Posted by: | CommentsI really do hate the cold. I don’t cope well with it at all. The problem with Melbourne weather is you never know what you’re going to be getting out of bed to. Yesterday was mild, today it’s freezing.
Actually, I lie about hating the cold. I hate cold weather. I don’t mind it when its a glass of chilled wine, like, oh, I don’t know, a Bethany Quarry Reisling Semillon 2008. Works for me. Probably because the wine notes start with “The best thing about this blend is it doens’t need to be the middle of Summer to enjoy it.” I don’t know about you, but I’m sold!
The rest of the notes about it read:
The Longest Trip Home
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve had this book sitting on my shelf for ages & it looks like it will be a good read
The Longest Trip Home by John Grogan (the author of Marley & Me)
You can purchase it here
Book Description:
Finding your place in the world can be the longest trip home…In Marley and Me, John Grogan perfectly described the love of a family for their wondrously neurotic dog. He made us laugh and cry, and showed how unconditional love can come in many forms. Now, in The Longest Trip Home, John writes with the same honesty, openness and humour about the relationship between a boy and his parents. As a ‘bad’ boy in a good family, John didn’t always live up to his parents’ expectations, but as a man he came to understand the love they gave him every day of his life. At its heart, The Longest Trip Home is a universal story about growing up, and making peace with your parents. As warm and moving as Marley and Me, this is a lyrical tribute to the power of family and love.
I hope you enjoy it!
