Ninderry Manor lunch

Last Christmas season, some good friends, my husband and I had a magnificent extended lunch at Ninderry Manor around the pool. I’m recording the menu to jog my memory in times to come as to just how wonderful Aki’s cooking and the occasion was.

Blue Moon cocktails and canapes
Chilled cucumber soup with mint accompanied by rolls with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Chinese dumplings on bok choi with chilli sauce
Snapper croquettes with rocket salad and sundried tomatoes
Chicken and ham rolls with peach and mustard sauce, leeks, onions and garlic
Poached peach in red wine with bleached lemon sorbet
Special blend Ninderry Manor coffee

To treat ourselves, we imbibed several bottles of Moet et Chandon … a perfect day!

Again, Maleny Manor has excelled in the ABIA awards, taking out the Golden awards for 2005 for both ceremony and reception venue. This top wedding venue was also finalist for Best Function Co-ordinator. Congratulations to Marlene and Simon!

Pirate Pete

For several years, I played in Pirate Pete’s band, entertaining children at venues throughout South East Queensland, writing and recording songs. Pirate Pete is now based in New South Wales where he brings his pirate magic to schools and parties throughout the state.

I gave me old mate a hoy and recoded the splash page of his site to w3.org standards.

The Medicine Room

Talented health writer and natural therapist, Dominique Finney, now has a new site for her popular Medicine Room, where you can obtain health advice, herbs and purchase her botanically based Auradom organic skin care and beauty products.

Accessibility Survey

Results of the ENABLED survey on web developer usage and knowledge of designing sites accessible for the disabled are now available.

58% of respondents were not aware of the Web Accessibility Initiative, and only 36% attempt to make their sites accessible. I’m not surprised, because to do so requires gaining knowledge and skills way above the use of a WSIWG program.

WordPress upgrade

I visited the WordPress site and grabbed the latest update. Installed 1.51 with no issues at all in about 2 minutes flat. Next time I change the look of the Sibagraphics site, I’ll develop my own blog theme. Using themes makes updating even less hassle.
