Divided by a common…..

I seem to have lost the dictionary section of this blog. No matter, I have been collecting Aussie-isms:
For budgie smuggler see below (h oho).  Also spotted – a women’s magazine for Western Australia called ‘Sheila’. I am anxiously scanning the shelves for the brother mag – ‘Bruce’ but no luck yet.

I was reading the board outside the Indiana Tea Rooms in Cottesloe (so different from our own dear Cutteslowe) and famous in a Heath Ledgerish sort of way. Seeing if I could possibly afford anything they offered and noticed they were proudly announcing a new chef – Ben Cremates. No doubt pronounced differently but put me off – couldn’t afford it anyway.
