First up tonight, thank you to everyone who’s given me great food and shopping ideas for London.  It’s only a matter of weeks before I’m meant to be flying out and now that you’ve given me places to be, I can concentrate on the big issues like whether I’ll need wellies and whether I should buy them here before I go.

Compared to the rest of Australia, the weather has been rather cool and pleasant.  We even had rain today and it looks as if it’s not going anywhere in a hurry.  Even on Australia Day.  So maybe a pair of mock croc Hunter for Jimmy Choo wellies isn’t as insane an idea as it sounds.  The only problem is where to source?  Any tips would be great.  Just leave me a comment.  Thank you.

I received my copy of the Taronga Zoo wall calendar with the Sunday paper and I have to say, those Sumatran tiger cubs do not have a bad angle amongst them.

The triplets have the cover and my good friend Mi Goreng is Mr August.

I could pick him in a crowd any day and I’ve even labelled the cover photo for your reference.

Nothing much exciting’s happening in my world at the moment.  Except that I whipped out my Ralph Lauren furls this morning.  The furl bracelet was the inspiration for today’s Hamptons in the workplace outfit.  There wasn’t actually that much to inspire, all I needed to do was put on the dress and some pearl studs but it’s quality not quantity.

I’m going to spend this evening in the 80s.  Young Talent Time is back and the first episode is being repeated on Channel 7 tonight.  Are you liking it?  I must admit, the bit I’m most looking forward to is the final song, All My Lovin’ being sung by Millsy.  I have such affection for the song, I was hoping to add a clip of the Johnny Young version from YouTube but spookily, none of them seem to be working at the moment.
