I may have to move to Melbourne just so I can be in the same city as these stores - lavender cupcakes! Cosmopolitan cupcakes! Carrot and cream cheese! Caramel toffee! TURKISH DELIGHT CUPCAKES!

So...Sydney tomorrow...

...to pick up a certain friend of mine with a certain funny accent.

Should be fun - Cupcakes on Pitt, Taronga Zoo (!! - pretty sure this is the most exciting thing of all), proper sushi & gelato... oh, and seeing him again of course ;)

Hehe I'm not sure if any of you read the Stay in Touch part of the SMH every day like me (best part of my morning, no kidding), and if you have read today's I apologise for repeating parts of this particular story, but it's a corker!
