Well, slight exaggeration on the headline...but they are putting in their 2 cents at least...the story:

A few weeks ago, both my beautiful bodum coffee glasses were smashed (first by John and then by me.) Whilst I love these, for $20 each and so easily breakable I was kinda reluctant to buy another pair. I started thinking it might be handy to have a thermos like coffee cup to take with me (since I am forever running late because I love to have a nice latte in the morning!) But they are so ugly normally...
Then I found the most fantastic, ecological and very cute little product called KeepCup. My credit card practically leapt out of my wallet. A few days later and I have just received my 2 very beautiful and durable coffee cups. The arrived in lovely 90% recycled packaging with soy based inks printed using a waterless technique; complete with the fantastic quote:

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead 1901-1978

This weekend we are going up to the north coast to a little place called Bombah Eco Cottages in Myall Lakes for my birthday. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to be getting out of the city...after the weekend in the Hunter Valley I really don't need much else apart from beautiful views, quite, my laptop, good books, good company, a kitchen and delicious fresh food.

Speaking of birthdays...I can't decide what to bake for my birthday cake? Some help please!

a. Chocolate Almond Torte
b. Banana Nut Layer Cake
c. Lemon Chocolate Oat Tarts
d. Something else?
