spreading the good news
Thanks to my little brother, I’m enjoying a free boost juice drink, just for being me. If you have photo ID that says that your name is David (or Victoria), then you too can be enjoying a free juice drink. Once I found out it was true, I SMS-ed all the Davids in my phone. …
coffee festival 2005
coffee festival 2005 Originally uploaded by cafedave. Jonathan, Kel and I went to a rocks coffee festival that was smaller than previous years, but still solid in terms of the number of people attending.

snake handling
snake handling Originally uploaded by cafedave. A long overdue catch-up dinner with friends coincided with his snake-sitting for other friends, so before dinner, I handled my first ever snakes.
