I’ve had these earrings for a while now (thanks to Jess), just sitting there tempting me to use them. They’re designed to stretch your earlobes so you can fit a plug in there (a little hurty and my ear is pretty puffy though as you can see). It only took 2 days to do, small tiny plugs go in this weekend :)
Alex Leong!
My good mate Chris is back in town and he brought his little baby Alex over last Wednesday. Max was soooo curious about Alex. I was a little nervous but Max was a good boy, just in for the sniff!
Alex is a chubby one! I got him to laugh a couple of times, always nice to have a baby laugh at you, rather than freak out and cry!
Met up with the boys last night to sign the Zen Garage Partnership Agreement, and to start a new joint bank account too. We’re pumped! Here’s to the future. Zen Garage is GO!
Miles had his eyes wide open today!
Everybody’s favorite new little man. :)
The boys have worked hard on the figures for the new offline forum space/gallery/business and unfortunately the 3 year projection wasn’t looking too good, mainly because the rental on the last space was just way too much.
We spent a day looking at many smaller spaces in and around Alexandria a few weeks ago, nothing was quite right. It seemed like all the modern, small 150-200sqm warehouse spaces lacked character, and their office spaces upstairs were way too separated from the loading dock/open space downstairs but today Sean found a ripper in Leichhardt.
The warehouse is right next door to a coffee shop and only a block away from Norton St. We checked it out this afternoon, the vibe of the area is great, kids, mothers, grungey but safe. The space itself needs a lot of work (we doubt anyone has been using it for years) but it’s got bucketloads of character and potential.
We’re excited, this could be the one?
Miles, he be chillin.
Richie and I grabbed a coffee this morning at the local cafe with Miles! Miles is so happy and content when being pushed along in the pram, but as soon as we stopped at the cafe he started up HAHA. So long as the prams rocking and moving he’s good. So cute. :)

Mama Mie Mie takes a break from breast feeding with a hot chocolate.
Grumpy Miles was still hungry for more milk.
Chomping his hands, he was still hungry even after a second feeding!
Jamie, Richie and baby Miles were moved from the hospital to the Coogee Crowne Plaza yesterday. Pretty interesting concept as they move new families to clear room at the hospital. Initially I thought it might have been more stressful as they had already moved different rooms at the hospital but after seeing Jamie and Richie today they were so glad they took up the (optional) offer.
I ran into Richie downstairs at the lobby buying himself a coffee and Jamie a hot chocolate, 3 day growth and all smiles as he just took a dip in the pool. The whole 6th floor is a maternity ward and the room is basically designed around a king sized bed facing the ocean. Awesome!
Jamie was a milk factory. At one stage I had a little go at holding baby Miles (can’t get over his little hands and feet, so detailed!) but Miles was starving and when he wasn’t feeding he was a little grumpy man. Everything has gone as smooth as it possibly could go and despite a severe lack of sleep both Mamma and Pappa are doing great!
Meet Miles Murphy. Isn’t he perfect?!
Miles and Mum.
At 9AM this morning my sister Jamie gave birth to little Miles (I knew it was going to be a boy!!!). He’s amazing! I’m an Uncle! Uncle Justin! :)
Walking for about 1km over these rocks at Lurline Bay at high tide made for some exciting moments.
Hun buns.
The path gets really swanky at Coogee, very nice planning.
This big rope mountain climby thing was still there, albeit less red than it used to be when I was in uni. Couldn’t help but climb to the top for old times sake.
We’ll have one of everything please.
The mains – very nice, entree’s were awesome too.
When we got home from our walk we spotted Mia Mau Mau in the window :)
I’ve not seen my bunny in a couple of days (been missing her!), we planned to hook up today as she’s got Friday’s off. Sun was out and she’s been itching to do some exercise so we made the most of the nice weather and decided to do the coastal walk from Maroubra Beach through to Coogee Beach.
We’ve tried it once before, it goes a bit funny after all the rock work, and the path forces you back onto the street, but this time we forged on and re-found the right track.
The walk was awesome, beautiful views along the way, really nice houses too (especially the concrete castle near Coogee!). We unfortunately undid all the hard work with a fancy lunch special at Ceviche. Entree, main and a glass of wine for $28, so much win!
