The Incomparable James Hannan

Last week, Laura, Menos, Lili and I went to have some dinner… We wanted to try something different, so Menos picked a place.

The Bentley Restaurant and Bar, on Crown St, near the corner of Oxford St, was very very good. I had never heard of it, but it does have two chef’s hats. Big wine list and very tasty menu. I would reccommend the Wagyu.. was delicious, and everyone on the table was jealous.

Give it a try, she is pretty good…

Open Tuesday-Saturday lunch and dinner

Well, I finally did it. I have been thinking about it for a while, but last week, I got a good price, so I placed an order. A brand new Holden SS, black, with black leather is on its way from Adelaide by rail, and should be in my garage by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I will let you all know how it drives later in the week, but from the reviews I have read, it is apparently a pleasure to drive, and I must say, I do like the new shape…

I recently made the transition to a Mac at work, a 17inch Mac Book Pro, and have been loving it. They offer a cleaner and easier to operate OS, as well as a consistently fast environment - PC’s used to slow dramatically if you were doing too much, but this Mac always flies. The new OS is available in a few days, and it offers some awesome new features.

As I have posted before, some of my shots have been making Flickr Explore - a collection of the day’s most interesting photos. Only 500 photos make it on each day, so the fact that 24 of mine have made it is pretty good….
