Oh my, what a roller coaster these past few weeks have been...
Lots of ups and downs
...and a few in betweens. All good now though thank you.
I went to Sydney last Thursday for the 20th anniversary dinner of the Australian Republican Movement...(no emails from monarchists, I can't be swayed)
finding myself in the same room as the famous Australian author Thomas Keneally
seen on from the right bank
the famous Australian designer Jenny Kee (oh my she looked glorious, just like in this next picture...love her to bits)
seen on miss speculiar
the famous Australian journalist Geraldine Doogue
I have to tell you I was more than a little bit star struck...
and then walking back to the hotel in the worst rain that Sydney has seen for decades...
I got drenched to the skin while waiting at the traffic lights, by a taxi driving through a huge puddle...
luckily I'd had a few red wines by then and thought it was hilarious!
You probably had to have been there :)
Thanks for the link love, Babe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a productive week...I envy all your rubbing elbows with the rich and famous! So interesting that I had to go back to look at the photos. I love the wood chopping block in the picture of that lovely kitchen...I am looking for one just like it!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week, Kerry!
XO,
Jane
So, does that mean you don't follow the blog "What Kate Wore?". Only joking. Sounds like the who's who was at that event. Glad you had fun. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad things are more chipper for you now Kerry. Laughing is much better than crying and don't they say a few reds are good for you?
ReplyDeleteYour pics are great as usual - don't those chocolate puds look divine? Have a lovely week :)
Glad you're back. I always love your images. Jennie Kee looks gorgeous doesn't she? So stylish with beautiful skin and hair!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the cab driver was a dyed-in-the-wool Constitutional Monarchist!
Love the story about your Sydney trip especially the bit about you laughing at being splashed/drenched? by the taxi. Oh life is what you make it :)
ReplyDeleteHope things have sorted themselves out for you too.

PS I meant "glad" things have sorted themselves out.....maybe I need a few glasses of red :) Mmmm that shall have to wait!
ReplyDeleteAlways good to laugh at yourself and not taking life too seriously....
ReplyDeleteLove your recap of bloggy photos I wish I ate what Katie ate....;-)
I think it's brilliant that you laughed off getting soaked! I love laughing at ridiculous moments like that :-)
ReplyDeleteoh thanks darl for the love.
ReplyDeleteand see, i knew it! red wine solves everything!!
hope the week's even out a bit for you xx
Hi Kerry,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that things are getting back on an even keel.
.....and, I would loved to have seen you, in the rain, after a few glasses of red, soaked to the skin but laughing hysterically !!!! It sounds as if it was a very 'Bridget Jones' moment.
A wonderful top ten, my favourite being the last one from What Katy Ate. I wonder why ?!!
oh the first one! I really need to paint my walls and shelves dark! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it and I love every one of your star pics! xx
ReplyDeleteSo I take it you didn't watch the Royal Wedding recently? ;) Glad to hear things are ok in your world. Love the pic from "10 rooms"!
ReplyDeleteI loved reading this (and looking at all the gorgeous photos)!
ReplyDeleteI knew exactly what you meant about getting drenched. Isn't it lovely when you are in the right space (wine or no) to find humor in what could be a crummy situation? Makes life easier!
One day you might be the most famous writer in the room with ll the other whos whos. I'm pleased the zen is back!
ReplyDelete(Love that sofa in the 10 rooms image!)
Oh doesn't Jenny Kee age?? She looks amazing, as always, her colour magic is her to the core.
ReplyDeleteThat first room, where to look, what to love the most - pink seat cushions, the chandelier, the balance of colour?? Eye candy to the max!! Love Posie
Ah, I've been missing your presence, my friend. So relieved to hear things are on the up. Now I want some of that choccy pudding! J x
ReplyDeleteYum, I cant get that pudding out of my mind. Tee hee about the big splash.
ReplyDeleteThat kitchen looks so cozy, and I love that dining room/library. P.S. Thanks for the guest post on Space for Inspiration, and giving us a heads up on sweet Charolotta's happenings. :)
