These bicycles have started appearing around my neighbourhood.  Some of them seem to get around a fair bit but this particular bike has been comfortably propped up against a tree I walk past on my way to get my morning coffee for quite some time now.  Perhaps it’s a sign that I should be the one to ride the bike and relocate it to someplace new.

Elsewhere in the world, the Emmys were on earlier this week.  The frocks weren’t that exciting but here are my favourite looks.

The Emmys were on earlier this week.  Congratulations on your win, Nicole.

And I am so glad that you won as well, Elisabeth Moss.  For your Outstanding Lead Actress nod in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’.  I’m still trying to pluck up the courage to watch.

In lieu of an Emmy, I have these new kitchen scales to put on my kitchen bench top.  I wonder if it’s true, by the way, that the recipients of such esteemed awards keep them in the most ordinary of places around their homes.

But back to the scales.  I’m very excited about them because them they appear to be virtually indestructible.  My digital ones have a habit of switching themselves on and off on a whim. I like that these scales are old school mechanical with a tare function and a dial full of numbers that I find strangely soothing.  I bought mine online from here.

I can vouch for the all-round deliciousness of this Sriracha aioli I bought at Costco the other day.  It’s perfect with my sushi bowl salad as well as normal sushi.  I’m currently trying to think of the kind of sandwich that might also do it justice.  Fish finger ones, perhaps?

Preschooler SSG had a party at school on Friday complete with two very special guests – Bumblebee and Buzz Lightyear.  Both were a huge hit with the children.

I managed to find some Transformer pyjamas for him in the miracle area of Target that is the childrenswear sales rack.  They and his Toy Story pyjamas have traveled the route from wardrobe to bed to the laundry machine and clothesline many, many times already this week.

Given how much Preschooler SSG enjoyed the party and all the gross out humour and physical comedy that took place, I’ve taken the plunge and bought us tickets to see Frank Woodley’s Noodlenut show at the Opera House these school holidays.  It looks like lots of fun and well, harbour side on a Saturday afternoon isn’t a bad place to be either.
