Happy Birthday to Me

I had a wonderful day filled with good friends, lovely food and beautiful new shiny things.

More stormy weather

Tonight's weather made for another spectacular show in the skies over Brisbane.

Stormy weather

Brisbane was hit by a series of amazing storms today - strong winds, heavy rain, lightning and thunder, the works. We were out and about when the first one struck.

Today has been a perfect spring day in Brisbane

I've always loved the colour of the sky here. At times it has an intensity that doesn't look real.

Chocolates from Paris
