I’m baaaaack!

And most remiss in not thanking the delicious Guest Hoyden’s for helping Lauredhel keep the blog ticking over in my absence until after I’d made two posts today.

Thank you, thank you bluemilk, Helen on the Cast Iron Balcony, sajbrfem and Kate for such wonderful posts.

I had a great holiday in soft, deep snow that didn’t stress the joints the way that icy Australian snowfields usually do (’tis the vibrrrration, Cap’n, she’s shaking aparrrrt!). The kids enjoyed themselves, especially the ritual school holiday interlodge snowfight, and mr tog had a quiet lodge to himself with his laptop bein used recreationally only for most of the days (except the serious blizzard when we all stayed in).

On the way back home I sampled various coffees and cake on various occasions with the delectable Ampersand Duck, Zoe Crazybrave (with little Jethro) and Bernice Balconey with her lad (unfortunately missed Cristy Nopod and her Third Pea through an unfortunate series of minor events).

Glad to be back and able to spend more Hoyden time again though.

Grogblog alert

Mark your diaries etc: next Thursday evening (October 12th) there will be a blogmeet in honour of the lovely and talented Kate (of Moment to Moment and Larvatus Prodeo) visiting Sydney.

Kate's grogblog
She’s only in town for a few days, and I know that Susoz at least said that wouldn’t be a good night for her, but sadly that’s the hand that’s been dealt us. Hopefully a pleasant assortment of other bloggers, commentors and even coy lurkers can come and have a good old chinwag over a cleansing ale or fruit of the vine.

We will meet up at the Warren View pub in Marrickville/Enmore, which has an excellent beer garden out the back and reasonably priced food. From 7pm in the beer garden, Kate and Georg and I will be there at least. If you want to join us, leave a comment!

Grogblogging about town

Last night we had a Sydney grogblogmeet at The Clock in Crown Street, with a Larvatus Prodeobloggers’ meetup for dinner beforehand. The excuse for both was Mark Bahnisch’s venturing south from Brisvegas.

I finally got to meet Mark, Shaun, Liam and a belated Georg from LP in an unfortunately noisy bouncy-box restaurant which had terrific Thai food and diabolical service. Liam’s beret is even more magnificent than I had imagined.
