Book: The ESV Bible Thanks to a late catch-up read this afternoon, I managed to finish reading through the bible (including reading the New Testament and the Psalms twice) this afternoon. I would highly recommend the M’Cheyne plan if you’re searching for a new year’s resolution along the lines of "Read my bible more" – […]

garden – dec 31st 2006 Now with added cooking herbs! Somehow, I’ve managed to keep most of these plants alive (there have been a few tragic casualties along the way. See you next year!
Don Adán Coffee Too, Cremorne
Don adán coffee too, cremorne Don adán coffee. Shop 2, 65 Parraween St Cremorne. Nestled in an arcade at the back of the Cremorne Orpheum is another outpost of this café. This café is proudly South American, and the background noise is a mix of the barista’s conversation and the radio. Seating is split between […]
Well Connected, Glebe
Well connected, glebe Campos Coffee. 35 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe. Stays true to its heritage as a converted house with a choice of seating: table and chairs or armchairs and couches. From 11am each day, you can sit on the balcony or upstairs, earlier it’s just the ground floor, overlooking Glebe Point Road, the espresso […]
About Thyme, Cremorne
About thyme, cremorne Toby’s estate coffee. 362 Military Rd, Cremorne. This place is a combination of deli and food court style eatery. After ordering at the counter, you’re directed to a bench where there’s self-serve water, cutlery and serviettes. The conversations of fellow diners is drowned out by the background music: some ambient jazz. There’s […]
Movie: Babel
Movie: Babel The Tower of Babel is the bible story where God confuses the language of the people on earth. The uniting element of this film is seeing people from a range of different languages and cultures fail to communicate with each other. A somewhat depressing, but clever film that interweaves a series of plots […]
Book: Jesus and the Victory of God
Jesus and the Victory of God – N. T. Wright I was starting to wonder if I’d ever make it to the end of this book – as was the person who generously loaned me the book these past months. Wright here spills a lot of ink, and quotes a lot of other scholars. His […]
Café Niki, Surry Hills
Café niki, surry hills 544 Bourke St, Surry Hills. A converted house with a lot of fairly confronting artwork on the walls, radio playing in the background. Service was lacking: no-one gave me a menu, even after waiting at a table for a few minutes. Neither did anyone stop me on the way out. Granted, […]
Bacigalupo, Newtown
Bacigalupo, newtown Caffe di stefano coffee. A quick crossing of king st from the cinema and you’re there. A remarkably high-ceiling-ed building, this place offers a range of cakes, and more substantial meals. Coffee takes a long while to arrive, but when it does, it’s worth the wait. My offsider for the visit rates it […]
Café Azzara, Newtown
Café azzara, newtown Mokambo coffee. Once upon a time, this place (6 king st) was a vegetarian café called the Green Iguana. Now, under new management, it’s an al new café with full kitchen and espresso bar. It’s hard to tell the flavour of the coffee from the affogato the ice cream masks the coffee […]
