After a long day of work – for me; he went to the Curie Museum – we went out to dinner at a Parisian craft brewery/burger joint/tattoo parlour. (Why yes, we *were* the least cool people in the place.)🍔🍻

Time to head off on our final European adventure! Early morning TGV train means we’ll be in Paris by lunch… 🚄🇫🇷
Whizzing through picture-perfect French countryside at 200mph (320kmph) – the fastest we’ve ever gone on land. Feeling very happy and fortunate.
Finally getting to see the sights in Paris! The rain stopped long enough for us to have a wander to the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs-Élysées, over to the Seine, and then to the Eiffel Tower. 🇫🇷❤️
18 years ago today two silly young people got hitched on a Vegas adventure… and tonight we celebrated on a dinner cruise along the Seine in Paris, with wine and truffles and lobster and chocolate and moonlight and architecture. Because sometimes things do have a happy ending, and I’m very very lucky, and he is just the best. ❤️

Sugar Maple progress. The sleeves have been cast off, and I’m now powering down the body! I love how that decrease on the front creates a chevron point that really highlights the gradient. #knitting 🧶
Really excited to see our friend and neighbour Michael Mobbs showing off his sustainable, off-the-grid terrace house on Zac Efron’s “Down to Earth” on Netflix! I’m proud to be a part of Sustainable Chippendale and looking forward to catching up with everyone when we get back in a month. ❤️

Of S’mores and Angels on Horseback
The many lives of Angels on Horseback https://www.snackstack.net/p/the-many-lives-of-angels-on-horseback
I enjoyed this little bit of investigation into the origins of the classic American campfire snack S’mores. Halfway through it turns into the much more interesting discussion of Angels on Horseback, a fancy hors d’oeuvre of bacon-wrapped oysters. I’ve never had those before, but I have eaten (and prepared) the similarly named Devils on Horseback. We usually do dates stuffed with Parmigiano cheese wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven. Really makes it feel like a classy 70’s dinner party…

Since Jody Podbury wore hers, I have to wear mine! This is the Easy Eyelet Yoke in Hobbii Twister. I love the colour gradient. 🧶 #knitting
Everyone in Europe is like, “Why are you sad to go back to Australia?” They envision it as an endless tropical beach party. Meanwhile… 🦟🦟🦟🦟
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…
