Restaurant recommendation - Adelaide

Last week we had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Palazzo in O'Connell Street, North Adelaide. On the same day that was followed up with dinner at The Rocks Grill at Oaks Plaza Pier hotel at Glenelg.

Both were first time visits, and both are recommended.

The Long Weekend

The October Long Weekend - it's the traditional "start work on the garden after the long winter" weekend. The problem is that with spending time in Chicago, our house hasn't seen any maintenance since late last year. Even worse is that the Davies family have seen 3 winters in a _row_ :-)

So it was time to mow the lawns, weed, move stuff, remove dead stuff, plant, decide, purchase, arrange etc etc etc. An all day activity. So busy that I missed a phone-hook up meeting. Sorry guys :-(

The weekend did have a fun aspect to it - on Saturday I went mountain bike riding through Mt Crawford forest. Of course the guys I went with wanted to take the black diamond track, the most difficult, which just added to the fun. While there were some good stacks, I somehow avoided coming off. Very beautiful scenery, and some good exercise - will do this again soon.

Easter 2004 Photos

As a test to see if I've got gallery properly configured, I've put up the photos for Easter 2004 "Moana" camping trip.

Update: Darn that gallery - today we had a power failure during a 70+ file upload. Gallery's file upload (from a URL or local directory) broke such that a) it didn't recognise the in-progess upload when I attempted again, and worse b) wouldn't allow the same files to be uploaded again. Eventually traced this down to the browser session cookie which simply neeed deleting. Sigh, not a good example of [[OSS]] robustess :-(
