World Tai Chi Day

World Tai Chi Day celebrated around the world in many countries 10am local time in a wave of Chi that circles the globe.

Gareth Powell

I met up with Gareth Powell while attending Alex's workshop on the weekend. I remember reading Gareth's SMH column for many years while commuting to to work at OTC and Telstra.

We managed to reminisce about the glory days of OTC and he had much respect for the efforts and ingenuity of the OTC team in Indochina. He still operates a weblog and remains actively involved in numerous enterprises in the technology, publishing and travel industries.

Pan family

Here is a quick shot of the Pan family in the backyard after Yum Cha.

Lynwood Cafe

A quick dash to Canberra over the Easter weekend so we called into Lynwood Cafe at Collector of the way through. Pity the coffee machine was out of order. 

Lynwood Cafe

Lynwood Cafe, Collector is famous for having pumpkins outside as you can see in this photo taken through the front window. Pretty spot, but bit chilly as Autumn sets in.

under the tiffany at Thai

Here I am clowing about at Thai in Katomba. The place has been done up as a Thai restaurant but still retains some of that 50's charm. It a new place downstairs in the main street of Katoomba.. changes hand regularly. 

Lilijana is back

Lil and Lisa at Casula. We finally made it over to say hi after Lil returned from her Cambodia, China and Singapore leg of her world tour. Both Lisa and Deanna were busy studying most of the afternoon and Mary only made it back as we were leaving. She had lots of supplies for Danello's 21st on Saturday.
