Pink Weds on Hamilton Island!!!

Posted by pesky | June 29, 2009 .

The heading requires some explanation. Your intrepid FatC’er Pesky made a solo trip to Hamilton Island in Australia’s beautiful Whitsunday Islands in mid June 2009. I was fortunate to enjoy the hospitality of family and friends there for a week, thus escaping Melbourne’s rather chilly winter for a short while.
Almost upon arrival, I [...]

The “Apple Isle” again lured the FatCWalking club to its attractions, with the intrepid trio staying once again at Bruny Island, and in Hobart. On Bruny we took an “Eco Tour” boat trip around the southern coast of the Island to “The Friars” – an outcrop of rocks south of Bruny on which live [...]

Diva Dina’s Declaratory Claptrap

Posted by pesky | April 15, 2009 .

Well, I could have said “drivel” for alliterative completeness, but somehow “claptrap” seems better!  Here is a pic of Dina and Pesky at the Observatory Hotel in Sydney last December with the two most famous Iron Chefs (Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi and Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai).  Both are thorough gentlemen, complete “hams” and [...]

Quirky Forgets His Pills! – IRON CHEFS ARE COMING!!!

Posted by pesky | December 5, 2008 .

Well, its the only explanation I can come up with for his latest offering. I don’t know if everyone else was as mystified as me about Quirky’s babblings on mini lettuce leafs etc? In any case, I HAVE BIG NEWS! On behalf of the FCWC, Dina and I are visiting Sydney’s Observatory [...]

Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper!

Posted by pesky | November 16, 2008 .

I suppose one of the reasons we are fat “c’s”, dear fellow bloggers, is that we LOVE our food. As anyone with a basic grasp of maths and biology will tell you, the amount of energy being expended should be equivalent to the amount of calories being consumed. In the case of us [...]

3 Fat C’s Hit Sydney Restaurant Scene

Posted by pesky | November 15, 2008 .

Sorry for the long time between updates. We decided during our recent trip to Sydney to visit Billy Kwong’s restaurant in Crown Street Surry Hills. As Melburnians, we are very dubious by nature about the claims made by Sydney restauranteurs. After all, everyone knows that Melbourne is Australia’s cultural capital, and is [...]

Don’t forget the incontinent canine…

Posted by pesky | July 17, 2008 .

At last!  Dina has debuted!  She did omit one thing about this morning’s walk however.  Despite my Mon Oncle references regarding yesterday’s walk, & the attentive Monsieur Hulots poncing about the place, today a trail of doggy do left me hopscotching my way along the foreshore as some incontinent canine and incompetent klutz conspired to [...]

Jacques Tati Lives!

Posted by pesky | July 16, 2008 .

Quirky, Dina and I ventured forth on a 7km circuit around Canadian Bay, Drummoyne, Sydney this morning.  Quirky had his sister’s Golden Retriever “Tom” in tow.  I was immediately struck by the beauty of the riverine environment – boats, blue water, Moreton Bay fig trees and stretches of mangroves.  However as the walk progressed I [...]
