I had a lovely weekend in Sydney visiting [livejournal.com profile] blamebrampton  :)  There was traipsing and shopping and yummy takeaways (such a novelty, because we have no such thing where I live), and many presents were bought for the small girl (fabulous handmade felt Snow White hand puppet with dwarves in her pockets form Brammers, a little red chook with chickens tucked into her wings, a couple of new Schleich princesses from Just White in the QVB, and a gorgeous twirly rainbow tiered skirt from David Jones), and I bought myself a few nice-smelling things as well (hand cream from Aesop that smells like mandarin peel, a few Burt's Bees products, and some Badger stuff) that are a bit hard to find down here.  Oh, and cocolate.  And a few trips to the gelaterie with which Newtown is blessed.  And many books, obviously (although I was cursing them as I lugged my backpack around the city on Monday!)
*contented sigh*
But oh, it was good to get home!  I curled up on the couch and read a book, and was fed homemade croissants :D  [personal profile] not_an_elf  is made of win, tis true.
