Lovely entertaining evening

Just had two wonderful mates over for puttanesca and honeycomb cupcakes (we ground up violet crumbles to use in place of the icing sugar; I assure you they were a taste sensation!). No pics due to too much chat!

Went to the Archibald prize last night and heard Tim Flannery give a speech on what it was like to sit for his 2005 portrait. Fascinating - he did fifty sittings, at 2-3 hours each, and spoke wonderfully about the intimacy and awkwardness of the relationship between himself and the artist. I adore him; he is a man who is genuinely interested and curious about every facet of life - even those that probably don't initially appeal. I think that is admirable.

Anyhoo Bryce and I polished off lots of vino and work it is a-calling tomorrow. Night!
