First stop was my birthday cake, thanks to Katie, a chocolate and carrot torte with muscovado cream. The Wrights were on hand (they stayed several days with us) to ensure none went to waste :)
Jai and I discovered a chocolate shop on Bondi Road, which was open late into the evening - very convenient. It reminded me heaps of the Renown in North Hobart.
Now we get serious. The salt and pepper squid at Doyles (the wharf take-away, only, not the restaurant, alas!) was exceptional. Definitely among the best seafood takeaway we've had.
The best coffee -and we tasted a few- was from gertrude & alice. Campos beans. Brilliant. Lily spilled my (almost full) piccolo, and they kindly made me another, which was bang-on the mark again.
Bondi is a bit of a Jewish enclave, and that mean bagels. Glick's All Seeds bagel was a bit a stand-out. It boasts cumin seeds (!), unless my taste buds (and eyes) deceive me.
I also followed Nick's example:
Back home now: the snow peas are still alive and growing. A few flowers herald the happiness to come.

Nice work! We haven't really spent any time at Bondi but it looks great.
Was it the hop rocker?
Yup :)
