Red the Airedale Terrier

Spotted at The Lost Dogs Home on November 9, Red shows his best angle as his cheerful owner basks easy in a boho dress

Paint me up, Antonella!

A bit of fun at an opening with Antonella

Last week, at Thomas Dux Grocer’s opening, Melbourne facepainter Antonella gave a mate of mine a cool skull and bones picture on his forearm. He was so pleased with it that he refused to wash after so he can show off his piece of art at a pool party we went to the next following day.

Find Antonella at 0408 301 416. Don’t be put off by the rows of children faces that you see on her website- big boys and girls love paint too!

Thomas Dux Grocer: luxe at fair prices

Nothing like a sturdy brown bag to complete the shopping experience!

On Saturday, I visited new Richmond entrant Thomas Dux Grocer after much anticipation. In July this year, watchdog ACCC gave Woolsworth the thumbs up to acquire the haemorrhaging Macro-Wholefoods- and a swift rebranding resulted in Macro being converted to Woolsworth’s “upmarket grocery subsidiary”, Thomas Dux Grocer.

It’s a hot hot hot day. Melbourne is funny like that.

A thirsty dog should never be ignored

One minute you’re cocooned in swaths and snoods, the next moment you’re schvitzing hard enough to water the plants. It’s 31 degrees out there and there is nothing

better than a homemade monk pear iced tea made with leaves from the good people at T2 in a BODUM ice tea jug.
