Feasting in Brisbane over the New Year week

I saw 2020 in from Brisbane this week. I flew in on Monday and flew out on Friday. It was a nice break from existing in Canberra.

Nude bog???

So, what is nood bog? I mean I know that Canberra has a thriving naturist community who like to swim in a watering hole on the south side of town.

Spirit House Cooking School

Dedicated to Ms22 for taking me along as part of a birthday gift

We had a wonderful time together

The Spirit House Cooking School is in Yandina, which is a small town about 90 minutes drive north of Brisbane.

I want to say, over the last four or so years, I’ve been chatting with my middle daughter about doing a cooking class together.

Ms22 has a passion for making and decorating cakes. She has a side hustle thing making and decorating cakes for friends and other people who hear about her by word of mouth. On average, each week, she is making and decorating a cake for someone’s birthday, engagement, Christening, or some other important life event. She’s even made me a birthday ice cream cake.
