god save the queen

I love a good long weekend. As an American I love it even more because I get to tell everyone from home that I'm celebrating the Queen's birthday.  Small things amuse me.  Anyway the weather was crap, my cold lingered but we still managed to have a great weekend.  We ventured into the city to catch a last glimpse of Vivid Sydney and heard a few amazing bands in the process.  Despite the fact the lead singer wore a cowboy hat during the entire set, Sister Jane was unreal as was the rest of the line up. 

The remainder of the weekend was spent brunching with friends in Balmain, reading, sleeping, watching movies, putting the slow cooker to work, chatting to family, knitting (yes the first scarf is complete!) and finally finishing a few baby gifts - let's hope they still fit.
