A couple of weekends ago John & Karen took us glamping. These guys are professionals, and they ensured that the experience was 100% more positive than our last tent based adventure.
We stayed at Honeymoon Pool, near Collie, which was pretty idyllic.

The Loose Box
Conor and I spent last night at the Loose Box in Mundaring. Eight course degustation with wine + rolling into a cottage next door afterwards + homemade (gf) brioche for breakfast = Happy Hannah*.
* Conor was quite happy too.

Whale rider
Whilst in Exmouth we swam with an eight metre female whale shark. We had a quick briefing beforehand, with rule number one being: Nobody is to attempt to ride a whale shark. Not that disappointing for me; I was far more concerned with attempting not to get eaten.

Exmouth
Conor and I spent the last week on holiday in Exmouth (pronounced ex-mouth), which is around about here.
Highlights included swimming with an eight metre whale shark; not being eaten by an eight metre whale shark; cracking sunsets; a giant prawn; beach suppers; star gazing; and not hitting any kangaroos in the car. Lowlights included a cracking jellyfish sting, but the less said about that the better.

Things I'm going to miss about Perth #1
We spent tonight at Cottlesloe beach, with a cracking sunset, cold beer, questionable scluptures and persistent seagulls. It was pretty idyllic.

Two arms, two legs
On Friday night we saw a Trust, a modern dance interpretation of the Global Financial Crisis, in German. And yes, it was every bit as dreadful as it sounds.
Luckily the weekend improved dramatically after that. Firstly, it turns out that the chances of getting eaten alive by sharks is dramatically lower if you don't even get in the tank, which is funny. On Saturday evening we had a BBQ by the beach with some pals, and Smitten Kitchen's cauliflower tart.
Today I made a black & white cake, and thrashed Conor at Scrabble (for the second time ever in my life).

Busy
This week has been busy.
The triathlon that I signed up to in a moment of madness is only two weeks away, so I'm running and cycling round lakes like there's no tomorrow (sort of). I turned a year older, an amazing friend gave me a bottle of wine with my name on it. Last night we saw a great concert, and watched some pretty exciting dancing. And I made some individual caramel macadamia cheesecakes.
Next weekend I'm going swimming with sharks.
Lake Monger, which is was deceptively windy.

Me and my cousins
Taking a family photo isn't always easy. Luckily our photographer was especially patient.

I'm in London, and it's quite cold
It's a bit of a culture shock going from 30º to -2º. Central heating helps, as does mulled wine. On Saturday I went to Ottolenghi, where I've wanted to go for years. It exceeded all expectation, and as if having lunch there wasn't enough I brought home a box of cakes for tea.
