Flavour Of The Month (FOTM) is our nod to old-school blogging days. We’re sharing a taste – a ‘flavour’ if you will – of what’s happened in the month just gone.
Why do we do this?
There are a few reasons actually. First and foremost, we like to be able to google our lives. All too often, Christina has asked me when we did something and all I’ve had to do is search Mr & Mrs.
But we also love writing about things that either don’t really fit anywhere else or that isn’t quite a big enough story to have its own stand-alone article.
Best of all, we love sharing important moments of our lives here, so you get a real flavour of what’s happening with us in these posts.
With so much going on recently – compared to this time last year when nothing was really allowed to happen – we’ve got quite a bit to catch up on in this Edition. Not to mention it’s my birthday today! We’ve got a local brewery rebrand to tell you all about, great burger finds, movie … Read more
Australia is now a year on from being seriously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. And while we watch the world continue to battle with this terrible threat, Christina and I find ourselves thankfully distracted by a few happy dates to celebrate. In this Edition, we have some important anniversaries – both our own and other … Read more
With March picking up the slack, Sydney has finally patted summer on the bum and sent it to bed. Some people are sad when this happens, but I welcome it. Autumn in Sydney is probably my favourite season. It’s still warm in the day, but evenings cool down enough to warrant duvets, jackets, comfort food … Read more
Whenever Christina and I look for stories, we generally always try to create that mix of travel, food, culture, venues and lifestyle. I think we’ve hit the bullseye with this one. This Edition also has a lot of firsts for us. Our first (extended) visit to Wollongong, our first vegan yum cha, our first time … Read more
A good friend of ours maintains that the year really begins on the 1st of February. And I think this year has shown that perfectly. I mean, where has January gone? To make sure we haven’t forgotten the best bits though, here’s a quick highlights reel of the last few weeks. The start to 2021 … Read more
Crazy to think that Christmas is next week, isn’t it? After everything that’s gone on this year, it’s like Christmas is way too normal to be happening. I suppose it just goes to show that no matter what happens to us, time still troops on… but let’s not get too maudlin or philosophical. This time … Read more
And like that, we’re in December. Actually, it seems to have taken a century to get to the end of this horrendous year, but it looks like we’re finally getting there. And with a vaccine-coloured light at the end of the tunnel, I wonder if next year won’t end with things being completely back to … Read more
So somehow it’s got to November. Not that I’m complaining – this year’s been appalling. But as we stare down the barrel of the Christmas gun, things seem to finally look a little more settled – at least in Australia. We’ve been so lucky with Covid-19 that restaurants are opening back up, bar hops are … Read more
It feels like springtime has been a long time coming here in Sydney. I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to go outside and be warm – let along wear shorts again. Thankfully though, the sun’s back and warmer weather awaits. As does me complaining about how hot I am no doubt! In this Edition, … Read more
Since international and interstate travel is off the cards for us, Christina and I have been finding other ways to entertain both ourselves and our bit-champing travel bugs. I’m sure you’re doing the same. In this Edition, we’re talking about a new home improvements project we’ve been working on (i.e. a fire pit for our … Read more
