I spent a week in New York ten years ago and we stayed at the Beacon Hotel on Broadway amd 75th Street. My son and I decided to go down to Central Park we walked down 72nd Street and ahead of us were big trailers and assorted technical equipment that was being packed up by the crew.

Out of a door of one of the brownstone terraces Will Smith and his bodyquard walked and and came towards us, he had finished filming for the day (Baggar Vance) he walked right by us and all I could do was smile and nod which was returned.lol.

Sad but true. Kick myself now that I hadn't been game enough to ask for a autograph. He came across as very friendly and approachable. My son didn't recognise him but you could not miss those distintive ears on Will. He was dressed in the clothes of the movie ...very swish.

So in answer to the Big Question, no I would not be capable of asking for an autograph or anything else..I would be too awestruck.

Oh! Happy Day!

The "real" fake interview

I have just signed up for updates from our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd's new website.

He sure is a people pleaser.

He also has a blog and the current discussion is on Climate Change.

I am enjoying watchng MasterChef,
not sure who will be the winner
but Chris sure looks the part of a quirky chef.
His recipes are original and well presented

I like Julie but she can get a little rattled under pressure.

I was browsing this site about Glebe an inner city suburb of Sydney and it brought back memories of when my children were younger and their weekend visits with their Dad.

Those weekends I had ALL to myself, I would meet up with a friend and we would go out to dinner at a different restaurant (Italian, German, Chinese, Swiss) each Saturday night along Norton Street/Parramatta Road in Leichhardt and into Glebe and surrounding suburbs.


We would start off at the Glebe markets, a late arvo coffee, then home to change for the trawl pass the restaurants studying the blackboard menus displayed outside, selecting our meal for the night then off to the bottle shop to buy our BYO wine (cheaper than buying the House wine) back to the selected restaurant to enjoy an evening of good food, good company and yummy wine.

In the morning we would head off for our Sunday drive
either cruising the City beaches


or heading up to the Blue Mountains
for an invigorating bush walk
or catching the scenic railway down to the valley floor.
