So last year for his 29th birthday I bought Mr B a voucher to go skydiving. Not because I wanted to kill my boyfriend necessarily but he wanted to do it, and it seemed like a good present. Guys, don’t do this. Don’t buy a really good present for your partner’s 29th birthday, because it … Continue reading
Pizza Heart gets a lot of love in the Blackburn-Box Hill area. “Oh, you’ve moved in around the corner? You have to try Pizza Heart in the Kerrimuir shops.” “The best pizza around here has to be Pizza Heart.” Big calls, all… can it stack up to the other contenders? Mr B and I had … Continue reading
At work we like to think we’re on top of the laneway openings and closings near us – after all we work in property! But I must confess that Bowery to Williamsburg snuck up on us unawares. By that, I mean it was at least a week after the initial blog posts went up on … Continue reading
For a special occasion Mr B sought out some tips from his workmates and booked us in at Josie Bones, in Smith Street Collingwood.

Bordello Pizzeria 61-63 Railway Road Blackburn http://www.bordellopizzeria.com.au/ – not very informative as of yet… hence I’ve uploaded the menus during this post if you have a magnifying glass to read them. There’s a famous site in Blackburn, just on the roundabout, on the ‘wrong side of the tracks’ – well, the northern side. It’s hosted bad … Continue reading
Father’s Office 249 Little Lonsdale Street Melbourne CBD http://www.fathersoffice.com.au/ Corporate lunches for $15 including soft drink, and an extra $2 for wine or beer?
