Prior to my stint in hospital where they took out my manky old hip and put in a new, non-crumbly one made from surgical steel and ceramic. Ravi took me out for what might have been my last eggs benedict. Luckily for me, it wasn’t. Possibly unluckily for you because…

We’re out of order and I’m having to play catch-up on my posts because shortly after posting this entry about a Gold Coast cafe I was called in to have my hip replaced. 31 years I’ve been waiting so I became somewhat preoccupied with the prep for that and less…

Rodger has been promising me that we’d go to “this groovy little place around the corner from the office” for a while. Being in the city it has has taken months for it to come to fruition. Especially with the new 40km speed limit throughout and poor parking options for…
