OK – I just found my old blogger account and thought I’d rejuvenate it after a 2 year hiatus.
I’m going to write about my photography, food and wine stuff and travel thoughts right here!
To get things started, here are some recent photos of the Australian and Victorian Barista championships:

AC554 from Vancouver to LAX and then QF26 from LAX to MEL via Auckland got us home! Greta had a great flight – slept for 10 hours on the long LAX-AKL sector.
After dinner, we went to the Mountain Equipment Coop for a bit of last minute shopping. Great shop – like REI it’s a Coop and run for its members.
We went to Tojo’s tonight with Andrzej, Carolyn and Stefan. Here’s a pic of me and Hidekazu Tojo. Andrzej’s been going there since he opened so is a very long term regular! Had some very cool dishes including crab, blue-fin toro, sable fish and shitake mushrooms…
Ate at Banana Leaf Broadway location at lunchtime. Tokyo Tom joined us – what a nice surprise. The crab and the black cod were the dishes of the day. Good value and delicious.
