Ummmm, awesome.

Awesome people reading.
That is all.

Coffee is bad for your marriage?

...Lucky I'm not married. Indeed, The Guardian's Stuart Jefferies is right when he remarks "all in all, the debate reminds me of what Homer once said about alcohol in The Simpsons – that it was "the cause of and solution to all of our problems". Coffee is like that, only more so."
On a related note, does anyone know if it is possible to buy print copies of The Observer in Australia?

IQ.org

My friend has recently introduced me to Julian Assange's now defunct blog.
Interesting reading, its nice to see his opinions of things outside of the Wikileaks saga.
Enjoy.

Beanhunter

One thing I prioritise is good coffee - so I was delighted to discover the truly superb Bean Hunter...if you can find a better source of where to get the best coffee I would love to know! Reviews from multiple countries make me wish I had stumbled upon it during my somewhat extensive travels last year. In the case of this excellent website however, better late than never.
Enjoy.

Hip Hip Gin Gin

I have recently become acquainted with the fantastic Hip Hip Gin Gin.
I love her cocktail recipe for a London Special - it is making me so nostalgic for for that great far away city. This is obviously someone who is my kind of fashionista - her post on Zara's seemingly perfect new pair of pumps has made me even more excited for the opening of Zara's flagship store in Sydney this Easter.  What do you think are the chances they will still be in stock?

She has also led me to another fantastic time wasting site, Fashion gone rogue.
Now I can look up all those editorials from Vogue I loved but didn't want to tear out of the magazine.
And some I haven't seen before.

Fantastic, no?

Wee Birdy

I am simply in love with the blog Wee Birdy. Like myself the author of this blog covering shopping, books, eating and drinking is a Sydney girl with a passion for London. I only wish I'd stumbled upon her blog sooner as I am also returning to Sydney to live. She puts such care and attention into each post to create a truly beautiful blog.
I saw her photo of a gaytime (an Australian ice cream, below) at the beach and got so homesick!

Oh well, I eagerly await more of her posts on my hometown!
Enjoy.

Grilled Cheese Social

A blog dedicated, seemingly, to grilled cheese sandwiches.
....Why have I not found this before? With posts entitled "Cheddar Cheddar Bang Bang" (above) , this is right up my alley. It reminds me of the french toast I recently waxed lyrical about.
Enjoy.

Nerd Boyfriend.

I am loving the photo blog Nerd Boyfriend.
Good for a laugh.
(Except for the young James Spader. Yum.)

Um...fantastic.

The above is courtesy of the blog Palingates ("The Sarah Palin Watchdog Team").
Hahahahaha
                  ...hahahahaha
Enjoy.

A tale of two cities

I am not the first to notice how clever this is.

Egg, bacon, chips and beans

Egg, Bacon, Chips and Beans is a blog dedicated to the London greasy spoon. I think a good breakfast is truly hard to beat, and although I don't have the stomach for a fry up every day, there is nothing like a full english at Bar Bruno in Soho after a big night out. White buttered toast, runny eggs, bubble and squeak and hefty mugs of tea. Pop down to Bar Italia for espresso before or after.
Legendary.

Kissssssing

Fantastic.
Truly fantastic.

This is my kind of porn.
Enjoy.

Library Lust

Tumblr must qualify as an addiction for me. My latest find: Book Lovers never got to bed alone.

New Kid on the blog

Maud Newton has been around for ages, apparently, and I am only just discovering her literary themed blog now. I also love her "about" section: "

"Maud Newton was born in Dallas, to a southern father and Texan mother. At two, she moved to Miami, Florida, where she was often mistaken for a tourist because of her pallid complexion. She attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, where she studied writing with Padgett Powell and Harry Crews, and then, for lack of a better plan, went to law school. Now, having abandoned the practice of law, she lives in New York City, where she works as an editor and writer for Thomson Reuters."

Enjoy.

"Dinner parties are mere formalities; but you invite a man to breakfast because you want to see him."

This is a great blog that reviews breakfast places in London.

I have a breakfast date with a friend who I haven't seen for months on Sunday morning and can't wait!
...and to read while you have brekkie: London Caff's.

Book Blogs

A great blog about books.
Enjoy.

People of Walmart

I know I shouldn't laugh, but after the initial shock and disbelief I find this so funny. These are just the kind of scenes I could imagine David Sedaris, Bill Bryson or even Stephen Fry writing something intensely, side achingly funny about.
