Austin City Limits






Despite only having two weeks of mid semester break in September I was lucky enough to pack in an enormous amount of fun. Straight after my interim design presentation on 12th of September I rushed home from uni, packed up all my stuff and in a matter of hours was on a plane winging my way to Austin. I've never been to Texas before, so didn't really know what to expect and whilst I can't actually comment on the rest of the state, I have to say Austin is fabulous. The festival was three days of great music, fun and heat. Highlights were Bjork, Wilco, Midlake, Lucinda Williams, The National, Regina Spektor, Arcade Fire and surprisingly for this folkie lover - LCD soundsystem. (they really put on a good live show) Here are some photos of the action - for more on the music go to my music blog. (I promise to update it soon - uni work is almost over and I want to do it properly)

a beautiful addition....


things have been busy, so this is a bit late, but here are some photos of the gorgeous Ellie who was born to my dear friends Emma and Aidan on 30th June. (right on schedule in typical Emma fashion!)

What a cutie....I can't wait to meet her. Right now even Queensland seems too far away.

the happy family

Melbourne Ice


The NHL may be over for this season, but that still leaves me with - guess what - AIHL!
Yes......while some may consider it crazy, Australia does indeed have an Ice Hockey League. And if Saturday's game is anything to go by - it's not so bad. Melbourne Ice is still top of the league after beating Newcastle on the weekend. It was a bit of a nailbiter though with the result being decided by penalty shoot-out. Happily I was able to witness a win at home and left quite content indeed to go out and enjoy a very pleasant Saturday evening of good food, wine, tunes and interesting people.
