Sink done

Phil took out the insinkerator that was leaking. Decided I didn't want another one. Pipes put in instead. Boards will be replaced soonish...

Chocolate souffle

Doesn't this look delicious! It's a chocolate souffle. No one has ever made a souffle for me before. :)

Tarts from Alberto's

We shared them. One lemon tart and one lime and something tart. Both were tasty. A treat for when I got home from work.

Red Roses

I started this blog because Phil keeps giving me presents and doing things for me. He is just toooooooo sweet. These were from today. I had just done the shopping and he arrived to collect me.. I was just talking and talking and opened the door to get into the car... and there are these things sitting on my seat. Of course, stopped talking right away and made a girly noise.

Strawberry mousse

Having two punnets of strawberries needing attention, I threw a number of suggestions at Phil who turned to his iphone for help. Strawberry mousse it was. But this is the day after he made them as they had to set for 4 hours and he made them around 9pm.

They were delicious.

Fixing the pelmet

I lost the end caps to the pelmet. Also I've never had it up there since I moved in 5 or 6 years ago and painted the wall. He measured it up and put in new caps for me.


Love Letter badges

These are made by a designer called Madz has Runaway. I lost mine so we scoured the Internet for them and Phil located them in an online shop called Georgie Love. They arrived in cute packing with some free postcards and another badge.

Chocolate Seashells

Present from Phil that he got while he was doing the shopping. I had been sick and this was a kind of get well gift. "I love seafood!" I said.

Chocolate souffle with chocolate sauce

So this is the third time he made souffles and badly this was actually our dinner. I couldn't try and eat something else after this. No one I know has ever made souffles for me before.


Silicone kitchen and strip lighting

We took a drive to Bunnings and came back with the goods, then spent the afternoon fixing and installing. I helped with the grout but he did all the lights and silicone. I was so happy!

Cheese souffle

Phil said he would make me souffles. Well his first attempt at my house before he bought the oven thermometer turned more into chocolate scones. This was his second attempt. They were puffier before I got the camera out. We had two each. They were delicious!

Slicer from Marcia's

I was complaining about julienne carrots. We went shopping at Marcia's for a slicer and he bought it for me. Now I can shred, slice and julienne my way to happiness.

Cleaning my room

He is such a sweetie. He was concerned by the level of dust in my room, so while I was on holiday he took everything out of my bedroom then he vacuumed and wiped down the surfaces and reorganised all the boxes under my bed.

Orange roses and lilies

I was picked up from the airport by Phil who even cut work early to do it. And he was standing there at the luggage carousel bearing this enormous bunch of flowers. I had no idea and it was so sweet and kitsch I gave him a big hug. Yes, people were looking all the way to the car.


Tidied my room

While I was away he tidied my room, dusted everything and washed everything!

Beautiful roses and lilies

He surprised me with these when he came to collect me from the airport after a family visit. Awwww... so beautiful. :)

The clothes stack

I had this stack of clothes for an eternity. They were things that needed to be hand washed, ironed or otherwise put away. When I first met Phil, I described it to him and then sent him a picture. He got to see it in person after a while but it always remained there. A few months after he first visited my home, I went on a family reunion and while I was gone he took care of it! Yes, that meant washing, ironing and putting away. He even organised all the various paperwork and shoes hidden under it.
