MORSELS

Posted by dina | November 25, 2008 .

Whilst Pesky has been ruminating on the memories of tasty morsels which have passed through his lips, Quirky and I have expended actual energy in keeping the club flag flying with our walks along the Yarra.  We are not distracted by the recipes for double cooked pork belly.  Give us a salad roll from Kenny’s [...]

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 [...]

Man’s best friend

Posted by dina | July 17, 2008 .

It’s glorious weather in wonderful Sydney, and the FCWC are making the most of it.  Another stroll around the bay this morning saw Pesky take off and make as much distance between himself and Quirky who was walking Tom.  Pesky is very sensitive about his olfactory senses, particularly when they collide with doggy doos. Of [...]

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 [...]

Pavlov Strikes Again!

Posted by pesky | July 14, 2008 .

As I am sure most of you know, Pavlov was a scientist who discovered that he could trigger a predictable response in a dog by associating feeding it and ringing a bell. Pavlov was able to condition his dog so that it salivated every time he rang a particular bell (because he had rung [...]

Predictable and droll

Posted by Quirky | July 14, 2008 .

Well Pesky makes another entry. Its about time dear readers. If the truth be known I have been carrying the site waiting for him to make a constructive entry. Unquestionably I will be waiting for sometime if his most recent instalment is any indication ! Sloth and ennui. I must confess to a slight weariness [...]

Sloth and ennui

Posted by pesky | July 10, 2008 .

Sadly, both Dina and Quirky must be suffering from these afflictions given their lack of updates.  Dina has no excuse since she now has a computer and an internet connection, but is yet to make her first appearance despite numerous false starts.  As for Quirky, it is a case of “all bum and no fluff”!  [...]

Dina on line at last!!

Posted by Quirky | June 30, 2008 .

Stay tuned for the first exciting instalment from Dina detailing Churchill’s developments and everything else.

Reflection on Bruny

Posted by Quirky | June 6, 2008 .

It has been over a week since we returned to Melbourne from Bruny Island in Tasmania. The green peaceful surrounds of the Island supplanted by the harsh grey tones of the city landscape in Melbourne. During the walk today Pesky was lamenting the fact that the reality of city life ought not impinge upon our personal [...]
