Because we love eating and drinking on the streets, especially during day time

The annual Manly Food and Wine Festival is always great fun. Wait, now it's the Manly Food, Wine and Sustainability Festivals, my apologies (though I guess nobody really pays attention to the third part anyway). Local restaurants, bakeries and wineries set up stalls along the ocean beach and the main streets and the whole area is always packed with happy people munching and slurping the weekend away. I didn't eat too much this year, and didn't drink either, but I walked down there twice just to enjoy the live music, the lovely weather and atmosphere and of course the people-watching.

College Week 1

Some random pictures from when I just got back from Vietnam and before Laurent left. It was the first week at college and we were very unhappy hearing about all the assignments we have to hand in this term. However Katie was staying with us that week so we still had heaps of fun just down the college hill (especially on Icebreaker night; we had a blast partying at home instead of the Bassment - see above). I love capturing (or being captured in, as you can see) everyday moments; most of the time they turn out to be the better pictures that will always put a smile on your face. Not that I'm trying to say that partying is an everyday activity in our household.
By the way I'm really fond of taking b&w pictures these days, especially when the weather isn't very nice. But monkey's muffins had raspberries in them so I made an exception. :)

*credits to Laurent and Polly (and maybe Katie too? :D) for taking some of the pictures x

And the sun will set for you

Once again: Manly is the best place to be.

Pssh, don't argue. This is all I have to "say".

Oh I know you wanna be here too.
