“Max,” Daniel calls to him from the bedroom, just as he is rinsing the shampoo from his hair. Not wanting shampoo in his eyes or his mouth, Max keeps them all firmly shut.
“Baby?” Daniel says again, louder.
The warm water is a gentle relief running over his sweat sticky skin, nowhere near the scalding temperatures Daniel sets their shower to at home. It’s why Max had insisted that they clean off separately, the Austin heat far too much for Max to endure boiling water too, despite Daniel’s pouting and dramatic insistence that Max couldn’t just ‘fuck and flee.”
“Yes,” he calls when all the suds are safely sliding past his shoulders, but he didn’t need to shout. When he opens his eyes he sees Daniel leaning against the doorway with a smirk, still wearing his unbuttoned satin shirt, cowboy hat and nothing else. His wedding ring sits heavy on his finger, and Max thumbs over the matching one on his own hand.
Max’s come is a shiny presence he can still see smeared between Daniel’s thighs.
The sight of him makes Max’s dick twitch. Daniel notices and his grin only widens.
“Baby,” he says again, too sweet. “Baby, why is your most recent Google search is it weird that my husband saying yeehaw makes me come?”
And just like that, Max suddenly longs for a hot shower, an excuse for why his cheeks start to burn red.
“Why are you snooping through my phone?” He demands, forcing himself not to turn away casually and instead keep rubbing the hotel’s own body wash under his armpits.
“I wasn’t snooping,” Daniel says easily, “I was looking to get us some ribs delivered, my phone died at the track, remember?”
Max makes a noncommittal noise because vaguely he does remember Daniel saying he needed to put it on charge. That was before Max started pawing at him the moment the hotel door shut behind them though, and then it had been forgotten by both of them.
There’s just the noise of the extractor fan whirring for a moment, but Daniel doesn’t move. When Max sneaks a glance at him, he’s still leaning against the door frame looking amused.
“Sooo.” He drawls out the word in the stupid Texas accent that Max wishes he didn’t find so strangely sexy. “Are we going to talk about this, little lady, or-“
“Nope,” Max says firmly, turning off the shower.
Daniel nods. It makes the lights of the bathroom catch on his chain and Max- Max really wants to fuck him again.
“What about the one below it?” He asks, “Daniel Ricciardo Austin 2023 photos?”
“Nope,” Max says again, stepping out of the shower and reaching for his towel. He’s smiling now too, because he knows that beneath Daniel’s teasing that one will have made him happy to see.
“Okay,” Daniel says, then he unlocks Max’s phone. “What about how to ask my husband to-“
“Daniel,” Max interrupts, taking the phone from his hand and putting it into the empty sink. “Do you want to read more of my internet history, or do you want to get back on the bed and play good cowboy, bad cowboy again?”
Daniel grins, takes the cowboy hat from his head and puts it onto Max’s. When his arms wind around Max, the silky fabric of his shirt presses cool against Max’s shower-warm skin, his nipples.
“Well, when you put it like that,” Daniel says, leaning in to put his mouth on the skin just beneath Max’s ear. “Yeehaw, baby.”
Max laughs and pinches Daniel’s ass, at the same time as his dick twitches again. Backing him out of the bathroom, towards the bed, his phone is forgotten in the bathroom.
Google never had all the answers when it came to them, anyway.

Nanami whose a foodie 🤝 Love of his life who is also a foodie
I can imagine these two after having the fuck of their life in bed panting and then after the sweat cools, a damp washcloth has been used and tossed into the dirty clothes, water sipped and both curled in the sheets, it’s the type of lateness of night where everything feels softened and lax.
Then pillow talks go like this -
Nana-Wife: You know what I’ve been thinking about lately?
Nanami: What is it my love?
Nana-Wife: I’ve been thinking about that one cafe we stumbled upon in Seoul on that one mission? Where they had those-
Nanami, groaning: Amazing sandwiches…now IM going to be thinking about it for DAYS
These 2 instigating cravings in one another and making little weekend trips or exploring as many food spots as they can. OBSESSED 😭😭😭
Legitimately me and Mr.Haitch here 💀💀 Food Obsessed Couple™️, main reason that guy works out is so he can EAT.
We've taken whole weekend city breaks where we've chosen to visit restaurants instead of attractions.
He has, at highly inappropriate moments, said "Do you remember that restaurant in Perth? Got to work out how they made that sauce..."
Nanami Kento and Nanawife are 100% the same 👏
Anon, you are ON THE MONEY. I've had another Domestic/Food HC sent to me for Nanami, so maybe this will go in the Domestic series.

I was completely unprepared for the interior of this 1990s 5 bd. 2ba home in Jennapullin, WA, Australia. $499K. The description says it was "painstakingly crafted from the ground up by our visionary client who sought to blend the past with the present." Nah, this is a WTH House.
The realtor says, "Prepare to be captivated as you step into a world where magic and charm intertwine." So we enter. Uhhh. Okay...it's huge, but it does look like a DIY job. There are 14 stunning chandeliers, all sourced from Government House- you can see some of them in the hall.
What is up with the carpeting? It looks like he bought a bunch of area rugs on clearance. Forget the carpet in this house, it's too big for that- just roll it up. The columns are 150 year old dragon columns obtained from Foo Lok Restaurant.
It goes on to say, "the epitome of extraordinary living! If you're tired of cookie-cutter homes and crave a dash of pizzazz, sprinkled with oodles of character, then this property is your dream come true."
I'm speechless. It's gigantic and the ceiling looks like a bowling alley's. But the pressed tin formerly adorned the ceilings of houses and hotels throughout Perth. So, this is the main living area with kitchen. But, why does it look like the decor isn't secure- the ceiling looks to be peeling off. The phoenixes once graced the dining hall of the Hills Street Chinese restaurant.
Look at the proportion of that exhaust hood to the double sized stove. That's a commercial exhaust, but it's way too big. I kind of like the touch of fancy framing around the windows and the large black tiles.
Now, this could've been elegant, but it's grimy looking, not well crafted, and appears to be falling apart in places.
He tried to make an elegant bath, but everything looks so grubby. Of this, the realtor says, "Picture this: fixtures and fittings lovingly sourced from iconic buildings scattered throughout our vibrant State of WA."
So, he fashioned a double sink, but the counter is just a 2"x4" (see the knot in the wood coming thru?) with gold taps in the wall, exposed old pipe, and ornate metal grates on each side. The floor looks like remnants and the panels don't fit flush around the tub.
More pieced area rugs in the primary bedroom. There's some sort of pattern in the floor under those carpets. Maybe it was some kind of sports facility, but apparently he bought the tiles at auction.
Here's the 2nd bath. Mirror looks like it's shimmed up to be flat against the wall. Don't like any of this, with the possible exception of the floor and tub.
He must've gotten some deal on these rugs.
In this 1/2 bath, he fashioned an unusual sink. Clearly, he doesn't understand the concept of a pair of curtains, b/c the windows all look to be adorned with a single stretched panel.
Here's another bedroom with silk curtains that previously hung in the Melbourne Hotel, hangin' like rags. It all just looks like a real hack job, though. He bought nice stuff, but the execution sucks.
He tried, bought some cool architectural salvage, but he just wasn't able to pull it all off. Here's a cute sink, but what's going on underneath?
Even the pool looks DIY with corrugated metal.
10.29 acres.
The property's pretty messy, though.
There's a creek, too. The whole thing really needs work. Maybe a new owner can make something nice out of it, but it will take a lot of money. To me it looks like a knockdown.

Exclusive: Part Two From The Excerpts of Daniel Ricciardo’s Autobiography.
The Perth News, July 2035.
The former Formula One Champion talks about his wife, his family, and gives insights into his personal life like never before.
I know that everyone who reads this is more interested in my life and racing than in me praising my wife, but here’s the thing. She is my life. Her and our kids are my entire universe.
I’ve done some of the coolest things possible in my life. I’ve spent most of my adult life racing, I’ve driven the fastest cars in the world. I’ve sat into the ones that my heroes drove and driven them around the same racetracks they did. I went to hell and clawed my way back with Emma at my side and won a championship, but I can tell you that I’ve never felt as happy as the day I got to hold my kids for the first time. I’ve never been as proud as the day my wife brought our kids into the world and our family got a little bit bigger. But that’s a story for later. I’m going to tell you all about how much I love my kids in a few chapters, but before I do I need you to understand that they’re as amazing as their mother.
As I’ve been told countless times, everyone knows that we love each other. We’re the parents who are always holding hands at the school events, the ones that Lulu cringes about and tells her friends that “mama and dad keep kissing”. But the world doesn’t know everything that Em has done. They don’t know the things she’s sacrificed for me - her privacy, her solitude, her ability to walk down the street alone. That’s why I need to tell the world how wonderful she is. That’s why there’s some things you should know about my wife.
She is the coolest. Nobody in the world is as cool as her, not even me. She doesn’t believe in God, but she does believe in the power of Taylor Swift to solve world problems. She loves art, history, museums, and castles. And she brings me to a new one no matter where we are in the world. She loves crime shows and knows so much about true crime it’s almost scary. She can tell you which episode of Criminal Minds you’re watching from a single frame, and I can confirm that Penny wasn’t named after Penelope Garcia, but we did think about doing that.
She loves shiny things and Legos, and still says her best Christmas present was a Lego flower set we spent Christmas 2020 making together. She’d rather eat homemade food than dine at a Michelin Star restaurant, and she’s the sole reason we don’t have breakfast for dinner every day. She is the sweetest, strongest, most loving woman in the world. She is the most patient person I know. When we became parents we promised we wouldn’t yell at our kids, and our kids have never heard her raise her voice in anger. I know they never will.
She’s so smart and bright and I call her a genius at least once a day because it’s true. I wasn't going to mention this because it's not my place to say, but Em said I can. She's autistic. We found out after we got married, and a lot of things just slipped into place about her and our relationship. It's not a bad thing. It's not a negative. Her brain just works differently to mine, and she sees things I never would. It's one of the things I love her for, not in spite of it. But it's part of why the rumours and crap said about her hurt so much. Her brain picks up the patterns that everyone else misses and without her I would have been completely blindsided in Hungary in 2022. She was the first one to realise there was a chance for a seat in 2023.
She’s loyal beyond comprehension. She will never spill a secret if you ask her to keep it. She lights up a room as soon as she walks in. She’s so funny it’s unbelievable even though she insists she’s not. She gives the best hugs (as voted by our family) and kisses (as voted by me) in the world. She loves crocheting things and used to travel around the world with yarn and her hooks to make stuffed animals. Each one of our kids has a blanket that she made, and she made one big enough for me.
Every single thing she’s achieved in life is because she worked so fucking hard for it. Em has built herself up from the ashes more times than any person should, and more times than anyone I know could. She rebuilt us and me brick by brick when any other person would have walked away and nobody would have blamed them. And then she’s the reason we built up our family of five and she’s the one who keeps our family going. She’s the heart and soul of this family. She loves being a mum, and she was made to be one. She loves our kids - and somehow me because I’m a lucky, lucky man - more than anything or anyone in the world. She deserves everything in this world and the day we got together I made it my job to make it possible.
She’s the sweetest woman in the world and she couldn’t hurt a fly even if she tried. She’s selfless to a painful degree and trying to explain she can be selfish felt impossible. She still isn’t. She’s the kind of person who remembers everyone’s birthdays and has cards and a cake. She asks how everyone is because she really worries. She’ll stay sitting listening to you ramble for hours, even if it’s about things that she has no interest in or doesn’t understand because she knows it means something to you. She let me talk about wine, I made it my mission to create one that she’d drink and I did it.
Emma Ricciardo is the woman who puts everyone else first. She’s been willing to do things that make her life worse in so many ways because she thinks it’ll be easier for other people. She puts her wants and needs behind everyone else’s, and no matter what she still does. It’s just one of the reasons I always put her first in life because she won’t put herself first. You know the thing on flights, put your own mask on before helping others? Emmy doesn’t do that. She helps everyone else first.
She makes the hard days easier. During the worst time in our lives when I could barely get out of bed to go to work she was the one who made the noise go away. She’d wrap me in her arms because it was the one place I felt I wasn’t tearing myself apart. She drove me to and from the McLaren MTC and waited around Woking for me because she knew I needed her. She’s the only person who could ever quiet that overactive, anxious voice in my head. She still is.
And on top of that she’s fucking gorgeous. I know I’m biased, but have you seen her? She’s beautiful inside and out and Milo is so lucky he looks like his Mama. Don’t get me wrong, our girls are beautiful because they look like me but Milo got to take after Em and I love that we have her mini me too. She’s this tiny little British crazy woman who can verbally kick anyone’s ass but smiles like a child when songs she likes come on the radio. She grins at me and I forget what I was saying. I can’t count how many times I forgot what I was talking about during an interview in the paddock. I know there’s YouTube compilations of me losing my train of thought, and I can confirm any of them after mid 2018 were because I saw her.
I can’t count the amount of times my brain went blank and I stopped listening to whatever anyone was asking me, simply because I saw her passing by. She would walk anywhere in my eyesight with Blake and Michael and I could recognise her no matter how far away she was. And then my brain turned into a mess of rainbows, hearts, and glitter. That’s how terribly in love with her I am. She grins and her nose wrinkles and I remember seeing her in that kitchen and wanting to kiss her. It’s how she got her instagram username, I started calling her Wrinkles that night.
I seriously don’t know how I got so lucky. I’ve tried working out how but in the nearly twenty years since we met I still don’t know. Somehow the strongest and most beautiful woman in the world agreed to marry me and call me her husband and let me call her my wife and my baby mama, and I still don’t understand it. She loves me and more than that she likes me, and how cool is that?
I could go on for this entire book to talk about all the things I love about her but I’ll keep most of that to myself to get to the point. There’s a really small circle of people who are lucky to be liked by her. You should feel lucky if Emmy calls you her friend. But there’s this even tinier circle of people who Em actually loves, and if you’re in that one you can call yourself a blessed cunt. If you’re in that very closed circle you know exactly what I’m talking about, and you also know that there’s absolutely nothing that woman won’t do to protect the people she loves.
When I tell you that, what I really mean is she will become lethal. If you mess with the people who she loves, Em turns into a different person who will rain destruction on you. I always say that she turns into Mama Badger, and she calls me a silly and kisses my nose, but it’s true. It’s very rare and I’ve seen it a few times since I met her, but the worst was the last time she publicly turned into Mama Badger. Why?
Because she gets mad when you mess with anyone in that very small circle of people she loves. But guess what happens when someone messes with and publicly betrays the one she loves the most in the world?

---
Part 25 - Normal peoples.
Maggie's relationship with Monaco was weird. She always felt like an outcast while being there. No matter if she wore fancy clothes, if she spoke perfect French, or if she went around with the cool kids, she always felt like somehow, she didn't belong. Even if she spent the last four years having dinner in fancy restaurants around the world and staying in some of the coolest hotels that existed, she was too used to being just little Maggie from Dublin who lived part time in London.
But even if she had a weird relationship with Monaco, she did like the place. It was the place where Jas and Daniel met; it was one of the places they could call home and where they could stay in a familiar bed; plus, she had too many memories there with Michael, so she liked it. Besides, the place was beautiful. Between the blue ocean and the mountains, it was nothing but a cute tiny paradise.
But nothing ever compared to the beauty that she was witnessing from the balcony of Daniel and Jas' apartment. Once the race, the partying and the weekend were over, their friends and family left Monaco, leaving just the six of them with their regular family schedules, spending some days there before they had to go to Baku. That's why Blake was sitting behind Olivia, holding her so she would practice sitting down all while Daniel sat right in front of them, holding her favorite stuffed kangaroo and speaking to her so she wouldn't get bored of being there. And if it wasn't enough, Michael was looking at them from the kitchen door, going back and forward from making dinner to looking at how Olivia was giggling. Meanwhile, Maggie and Jas were on the balcony, glasses of wine in their hands as they were just ignoring the Monaco lights and the view simply because the sight of their family was way better.
That was another of the reasons, even if Maggie had a weird relationship with Monaco, she liked being there. There was some kind of familiarity being there, knowing they could have a regular life even if for just some days. Jas always joked, saying in Monaco they were normal people, which was weird but kind, true. When they were there, her sister and future brother-in-law were just Daniel and Jas; they were Olivia's parents and nothing else. Besides, those were one of the really counted days where they could have a normal routine, which for Maggie felt like a blessing.
She was dealing with too much stuff altogether, but the worst was trying to get used to being on the road and living out of a suitcase all the time. She was still dealing with missing London, Dublin and Perth all together, but more importantly, she was still trying to deal with the 'talk to Michael' issue.
It was supposed to happen that Sunday night in the bar, but after their bathroom meeting, they didn't talk. They got out of the bathroom pretending nothing had happened; they said Maggie was feeling sick after too much tequila; they stayed all night hanging from each other like a normal couple and, they went back home to make a mess of the sheets and then get some sleep. She had no idea if someone believed in their excuses, but she couldn't care less about it as Michael held her close to his body, arm resting around her waist and hand on her hip, stroking the purple dress. He was making sure everyone in the room knew she was all his and Maggie had no a single problem with it. But after that, Maggie had no idea how to bring up the conversation. They were too into their own little bubble of hugs, kisses and touches to break the atmosphere with that. Instead, Maggie promised herself to talk to him as soon as they had some time alone, but that didn't happen in the last two days.
At that point, she wasn't even sure it was going to happen at all. Maybe she shouldn't try to push it. Maybe it wasn't the right timing. Maybe they should keep going that way. Maybe everything was going to fall into place on its own time. Maybe she should just wait until Michael brought up the conversation.
Maybe and maybe and maybe.
She was starting to hate that word.
Whatever was going to happen, Maggie decided to drop it for that week. She wasn't going to try to talk to Michael that week. She was going to spend her days enjoying family time and that was it. She was going to enjoy her days playing with her niece, going to the beach and maybe even letting Michael drag her to go for a run or some hiking in the mountains. She had no idea why, but that week she was extra clingy. She didn't want to be a pain in the ass, but she had an extra need to be by Michael's side. She felt like Olivia in the days when the only person that she wanted and who could calm her was Daniel, which in Maggie's case was nothing but pathetic. But that need to be by his side was the reason she smiled all happy when she saw Michael walking up to them. Not that she didn't smile every single time that he walked up to her, but that day Maggie was in a really good mood. That night everything felt different for some reason. Maybe it was the music playing in the back mixed with the adorable sound of Olivia's giggles, the summer breeze, the red wine, and the smell of homemade food. but she was feeling better than she had in a long, long time.
But Maggie didn't need much reason to smile that night, just like she didn't need reasons to snuggle by Michael's side as soon as he stood right besides her. She didn't need reason to hug him with her free arm as Michael held her as close as possible and kissed her head, all while their eyes where fixed on Olivia.
But not all of their eyes were fixed on Olivia. Maggie didn't need to turn and check to know if her sister was looking at them. Twenty-seven years were enough for Maggie to know Jas was looking. She could practically feel the burning sensation of her sister's eyes on them, but this time Maggie decided to ignore it.
"How's possible that she loves that kangaroo so damn much?" Michael asked, making Maggie look up to see him smiling, a smile that she knew would be enough to light up a whole room.
"She's half Aussie, mate" Jas answered, shrugging as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You're Aussie but you're a dog person"
"I am, but we also have a cat. And what does that have to do with kangaroos?" he asked while stealing Maggie's glass from her hand to take a sip. But Maggie couldn't care less about any of it. Her brain disconnected from the conversation, thinking about the way he said 'We have a cat', which made her smile even more as she rested her head against his chest. In those weird crazy times there were counted things that kept her going, and that little 'We' could be counted as one of those.
"I mean, maybe Oli's a kangaroo person. Or maybe she just falls in love with Elizabeth and she becomes a cat person" Jas explained, which was the most ridiculous explanation Maggie heard in a long time.
"Can you not talk about my baby Liz? I fucking miss her" Maggie complained, closing her eyes as she hugged Michael with both arms, squeezing a bit his waist as she did it.
"We are going to Dublin at the end of the month so you'll see her" Jas laughed, just like she always did when her sister complained about missing her cat, simply because she found adorable how much Maggie loved that golden ball of fur.
"That's right, just some weeks and you'll hug the hell out of her" Michael nodded, kissing the top of her head again. "Also dinner is on the oven, so give it like 20 minutes and its done"
"Thanks for making dinner, old man" Jas stated, and she didn't have to look at her sister to know Jas was smiling at her own comment.
And again, another kiss on her hair before Michael spoke. "Reckon you're older than me, ma'am" he shot back, and this time Maggie laughed because seeing them fighting as kids never got old.
"Ah but those white hairs on your chin say another story, bro"
"They say you got 120% hotter since they decided to show up" Maggie suddenly jumped, joining the conversation and letting go of his waist with her right hand to be able to stroke his chin.
She wasn't joking when she said Michael just got hotter since the morning she realized suddenly he had white hairs on his chin. That terrible morning in Italy, Michael had no better idea to wake her up after his workout session. It wasn't anything sexy; he just went, sat on bed besides her and called her name a couple times while he kissed her forehead and stroked her hair out of her face and neck. That's when she opened her eyes and saw it. Maggie never got out of bed fast. She always took her good five minutes to be able to open her eyes and be a functional human being, but that time she flew out of bed. She knew Michael was still trying to keep his distance because he was on his last days of Covid; besides, he was all sweaty after working out, so there was no point in begging him to fuck her. That's exactly why Maggie went straight to the bathroom, getting in the shower as fast as possible so the cold water would hit her skin. But she should have known better. Maybe Michael was trying to keep his distance, but there was no way in hell he was going to miss his chance to get in the shower with Maggie. The little grown that left her lips as soon as she heard the door open was nothing compared with the moan that escaped her lips as she felt his hands on her waist.
She had always been a sucker for Michael. From the day she first met him, Maggie was absolutely a sucker and a goner for him, but that morning was just a new level. She was even ashamed to admit how turned on she was for something as silly as white hairs on his chin, but Michael covered her in kisses as he assured it wasn't silly. He promised it was more than nice to know she liked it, and to close their promise they left behind the not-so-distance distance that covid put between them as Michael fucked her as slowly as possible against the cold shower walls.
"See? She loves it" he smiled all proud, kissing Maggie's forehead as she kept looking at him. "I'm gonna go play with my niece who doesn't judge me like her mother and then finish dinner"
"No, don't go" Maggie purred, not ready to let him go, not even if he was going to be in the next room.
"Because she can't talk, that's why she doesn't judge you" Jas smiled, slapping Michael's arm as they both laughed.
But just when Maggie thought Michael didn't hear her request, he looked down at her again with the most adorable smile on his face. "Let me finish dinner and I'm back" he whispered, before he went back to the conversation with Jas. "She doesn't talk yet, but as soon as she starts, she's gonna have us running in circles and bossing us in no time, but I gotta tell you I've no problem with that. And before you say anything, yes, I like when this one bosses me around" he smiled, pointing at Maggie with his free hand.
"Sucker" Jas stated, shaking her head as she looked at them.
"I love you" Michael whispered, now with his full attention on Maggie, both of them ignoring everything around them for a minute.
"Love you too" Maggie murmured back, getting in her tiptoes when Michael bent down to give her a kiss. She couldn't help but smile against his lips, sharing peck after peck, trying to keep it as PG as possible, even when all the people in the room have seen them in way worse situations. But it wasn't about that; it was all about softness and love and having a little reminder of their love for each other, even if just for a second. "Finish that and come back to me" Maggie purred, letting him finally go off her arms.
"Yes ma'am" Michael affirmed, stealing one last kiss before he left the balcony, taking her heart and her glass of wine with him. All Maggie could do was look at her with a silly little grin on her face, once again not believing that such a wonderful man was in love with her. But all her happiness was gone as soon as Jas opened her mouth, ruining the moment.
"What's going on between you both?"
There we go again.
Maggie wanted to slap her face as soon as she heard those words. Damn, she regretted letting Michael take her glass when she heard those words. Just when she got rid of Lily and her question, there goes Jas with the same stuff in the moment Maggie needed it less. "You talked with Lily, didn't you? Because you coming out of nowhere with this has a name and its Lilian"
"Of course I did. I talked with her, with Cam and with S, Danny, Blake, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa. I even spoke with Ben and Dom. We're all worried, baby"
What the actual shit.
"Did you seriously spoke to Ben and Dom? What does they have to do with this?" Maggie wondered, not really believing what her sister was saying. The fact that she spoke with Daniel was obvious. Same with Blake because they were together all the damn time. Knowing she spoke with their parents and grandparents was a bit of a worry, but still understandable. Maggie could get that she spoke with Lily because she was Maggie's best friend and was worried too. She could almost justify the fact that Jas spoke to Sara and Cam because they were like Maggie's oldest sisters, but the fact that she spoke about it to Ben and Dominic was insane. Sure, they were their friends and Sara and Cam's boyfriends, but it was too damn much, even for Jas. "Look, Jas, I get it, you're worried, but it's fine. We're grand"
"We've known each other for donkey's years, Maggie. They're like our brothers, not just Sara and Cam's boyfriends. And stop saying you're grand, kid" Jas insisted, turning around to look at her sister instead than at her husband and daughter playing. Jas was right on that. Just like Sara, Cam and Lily, Ben and Dom were their chosen family. They have known each other for more than ten years; they have been together through thick and thin; they have met every single one of Maggie and Jas' boyfriends, and they were some of their favorite people, but it was her problem to fix. It was her relationship with Michael and in that case, it was her issue to talk with their friends. "You know what makes me mad about this thing going on between the both of you? You two together could run this goddamn world but goddamn you're two stubborn goons. You love each other but there you are just playing around like teenagers"
"We're not playing around" Maggie protested, not even daring to look at her sister. She didn't want to have that conversation. She was in a rather good mood for once in forever and she didn't want to see it all gone just because Jas wanted answers.
"Sure look. You definitely are"
"It's complicated, Jas. It's complicated but we're trying to work on it" Maggie murmured, trying all so in vain to see if her sister would be happy with her answer. "I still don't know how you and Danny do it. I know it's not easy, but it does look easy from the outside"
"It's everything but easy, ciaróg" Jas breathed, taking a sip of her glass before she continued. "We talked about this more than once. Their job its fucking insane so it takes a shit of love, patience, dedication and trust. It also took us a ton of pillow talks, organization and flexibility from my side if you wanna call it like that. I'm a lucky bastard that we make it work. We're jammy"
"And it has nothing to do with the fact that you dropped everything to be with Danny, right?" Maggie chuckled, looking at Jas for a second and then back to Olivia, trying to keep herself calm.
She knew perfectly fine the effort Jas put into that relationship from day one. She knew it took Jas no time to decide to follow Daniel around the world because they wanted to make it work more than anything. She knew how they both were doing everything in their power to make it work together, so she knew it took everything and more to make it work. It was everything she and Michael put into their relationship, but clearly, they failed at something. She failed at something.
"That was my choice, but it takes patience and love too, Maggie. It’s not easy but damn, it’s worth"
"Yeah, I know" Maggie whispered, looking for a second to the floor. She had no idea what to say. There was really nothing much to say. She knew all those things Jas told her. She had thought about it for months, probably years. She had that clear from the second she started to see Michael, and she has been repeating it all in her head every single second of every single day, so she knew. And what she also knew was that part of her good mood was all gone and she wanted to go back to Michael, but running from that talk was useless. But what made her feel a little bit better was when she looked up and found Daniel looking at Jas. He was pointing to something that Olivia was doing, and he looked nothing but happy and excited. "Did I ever told you I love the way Dan looks at you? The silly expression on his face it's just too good"
"Y'know it's the exact same way Mike looks at you, right?" Jas asked, and she didn't even let Maggie speak, knowing perfectly fine she was going to say something. "Hey, c'mere to me. Don't you ever dare doubt it. I'm tired to tell you this, but he really worships the floor you walk on"
"Can we just- How are you?" Maggie suddenly questioned, changing the subject so they wouldn't keep talking about her love life.
"Leefs. Just grand" Jas lied, but the way Maggie suddenly looked at her was enough to make Jas talk. "Stressed as fuck"
"That's more likely" Maggie laughed, knowing that her sister was also hiding everything under her constant 'I'm okay' face. Everyone knew that was one of Jas' superpowers, so it was more than hard to read her on counted occasions. "Are you gonna punch me in the face if I tell you it's gonna be okay? I mean, if someone can figure this shit out its him. He'll make it work"
"I'm not gonna punch you, but damn kid, you sound a lot like coach Michael when you say that" Jas joked, making Maggie smile, even if just for a minute. "And I don't doubt Dan, I doubt about everything else. He's working his ass off but he can't do a miracle with that orange tractor"
"I've seen Danny making a lot of miracles in a race car. And in case that doesn't happen, y'know he's not gonna fall from the top of the mountain because he has you. He knows you're right behind him to catch him. We all are" Maggie affirmed, even when it wasn't really necessary to remind Jas or Daniel about it.
"We all are, except his dear beloved boss" Jas murmured between the teeth, and suddenly her expression changed completely.
To say Jas was pissed after Zak's last declarations was an understatement. She was more than happy for the fact that he wasn't in Monaco that weekend; in other ways things wouldn't have been pretty. But knowing Jas, Maggie wasn't sure if it was for the better or for the worst, the fact that she couldn't face Zak. She wanted to give him a big piece of her mind for saying that Daniel wasn't 'meeting the team expectations'. She wanted to sit down with him and remind him how he had promised Daniel a fast car, among other things. She wanted to tell him to better keep his mouth close before he spoke about her husband, but none of that was happening, at least not for the next couple of days. But even if it took months, Jas wasn't going to forget it.
Even Maggie wanted to go and have some words with Mr. Brown, but there was no point, especially considering she was just Daniel's future sister-in-law. "God, don't make me think about that shit. What are you going to do about it? I mean, he's an eejit, but he's still Danny's boss"
"I don't know. But what I know it's that I shouldn't get close to the paddock because if I see Zak things ain't gonna be pretty. I really wanna eat the head off of him"
Not that Maggie didn't want to do that too, but it was more than useless. "That's not the solution"
"You think that I don't know? What would you do in my place? What would you do if we were talking about Mike instead of Dan? You would go around trying to kill people. I gotta protect my husband, baby. It’s my job to look after him. I promised Grace and Joe that I was gonna look after him and I'm not breaking that promise. I owe them that. God, I owe Dan and Oli that" Jas affirmed, finishing the glass inside her glass with one sip.
That's when Maggie felt another bucket of water hitting her. "I made the same promise to his Nana and I just keep fucking it up, but I get it" she whispered, turning around to look at the city lights in front of them.
"Hey, you're always looking after Mike"
"Did I fuck. I'm always making him suffer" Maggie insisted, playing with the ring that Michael gave her in Perth, making it turn around her finger like she always did when she was nervous. "What if he doesn't want to go back?"
That was the question that had been eating her. That was the one thing that had been keeping her awake, running in her mind night after night. That was the one question that had been inside her chest, making it a hole bigger and bigger every single second of every single day. That was the one thing that she was too scared to say out loud, and she had no idea why she just said it.
"What? 'What if he doesn't want you back?' Maggie, we're talking about Michael, your Michael. This is not some random guy. He told you he loves you not even ten minutes ago. Goddamn, he's the guy who laced your damn Convers the day you met his family because you wouldn't stop shaking for how nervous you were. He's the guy who was more scared than you were about you meeting his family because everyone always loves you, but y'know, shit can always go wrong and big boy was worried something would go wrong. He's the one who got his ass on a plane to see you on his birthday, Mags" Jas exclaimed, and it was a miracle if the boys didn't hear in the inside of the apartment.
Maggie could feel her heart melting just thinking about Michael telling Jas that. But the fact that Michael was as scared as her that day was what surprised her more. She remembered perfectly fine that day and how scared she was. She remembered perfectly fine how she tried at least ten outfits because none of them looked good enough. All the dresses looked bad, all the shorts were ugly, all her shirt were wrinkled even if they weren't, her hair was terrible, her makeup was a mess. She hated every single thing about her that day and her hands wouldn't stop shaking, but then Michael stepped in. He helped her pick an outfit that made her feel comfortable; told her again and again that she looked beautiful in it; he insisted that her make-up was perfectly fine, made her let her hair loose, tied her Converse, and then he grabbed her hands and promised her that everything was going to be fine. He promised that everything was going to be fine because his family liked her even before they knew her. That day he looked so put together, so serene and so calm, that not in a million years Maggie would have imagined he was terrified as her. "He told you that? I mean, about that day?"
"Yeah he did" Jas nodded, a little sad smile appearing on her face. "Maggie you need to understand that he loves you"
"I know he does, its just-"
"Just what?" Jas interrupted, and Maggie could see how the patience was leaving her sister. "Y'know what- Did he ever told you what happened after you two decided to take a break?"
"No. We never talked about it" she whispered, taking a deep, deep breath, imagining what was coming her way. There was no way Jas was asking that without telling the story.
"He came home after dropping you at the airport. You know, I've seen Michael practically every single day for the last 4 years. We've been thought hell and back again and again and again. We spent so many hours together and have talked about every single thing and I think I've seen him in every single possible state that there is. We've seen each other in our better and our worst, but let me tell you one thing, kid, I've never seen him as broken as that day. Heartbroken doesn't even describe how he was"
That wasn't a bucket of cold water; that was a complete punch in the stomach. That was the last thing she wanted to hear, especially in that moment. "Why the hell are you telling me all this?" she whispered, trying to fight the knot in her stomach and her throat.
"Because I need you to understand how much he loves you, Maggie. We know him, but you know him better than anyone and you know he's capable of doing anything for you. Michael loves you so damn much that he decided to give you all the time you needed even if it broke him down into pieces. He did that even when knowing he was going to live a nightmare because of it. Everything he does its thinking about you, and I know for a fact that it's true. He loves you more than anything or anyone in this world, and I know you love him too. You love him so damn much that your arm is a tattooed love letter to him, that's why you have to stop running away from happiness, babe"
"That's blarney, Jas. If I were mad I would, but I'm not running" Maggie whispered, taking a deep breath as she looked at the little opal in her hand.
"Oh, baby, you are. I know you are because I know how is it and I also know how it feels when you finally stop. Its fucking terrifying, but I swear it's worth the pain" Jas insisted, all while Maggie was biting her tongue to not yell at her to stop talking. Let me tell you one last thing. I know you. I've seen that face since I was five years old and know you. Under that smile and that 'I'm okay' lie you're heartbroken and you're dying to run back to him, so please do it. You both need it so do it"
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, stall the ball, Jas" Maggie insisted, turning to focus on anything that wasn't the lights outside because they were doing nothing to help her calm down. Normally it would help her, but this time it was like nothing. But then she turned around, and there was Olivia, playing with Daniel, who was making her stand on her little feet while holding her so she would bear her weight. Olivia, who was a little sunshine giggling at everything making the room brighter than any light and making all the bad things disappear every time. Or almost every time.
"You're lucky, Maggie. You still have each other. You'll always have each other no matter what happens" Jas stated, but it wasn't enough to make Maggie look away from her niece, too focused on that and on trying to not cry. "You could have that, y'know? I know you want it. He wants the same with you and you both could have it all and more. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, next month or next year, but some day. You could have every single thing you guy want, so please stop running because he wants you"
But this time the big question wasn't what she was supposed to do if Michael didn't want her back. This time the question was how the hell did Jas know, what she was thinking. But this time, Maggie wasn't planning to admit it. There was no way she was going to say anything. "Just drop it, okay? Cut the crap and stop getting in my life. If you care about me then do that for me. I'm gonna see Mike" she growled, keeping her voice down as much as possible because there was no need to let the rest of her family know about their conversation. The last thing she wanted was that.
Maggie didn't give Jas time to say anything. She didn't want to hear anything. She just wanted to build a bubble around her and Michael and forget about all that crap. She wanted to go to bed and sleep, but more than anything, she wanted to hug Michael. She needed him, so she walked straight to the kitchen and without any questions or permission, she hugged him. She placed her arms around her waist and rested her head on his back, trying to cure her wounds with his warmth and softness.
"Hey, that's my favorite girl. Everything alright?" Michael asked while he was finishing she didn't know what about dinner. All she cared about was the feeling of his body against her and how incredibly good he smelled and felt against her.
"Mmhm. Just wanted a hug" she simply lied, placing a couple of kisses on his back, and moving her hands under his shirt and right again his stomach. "Can we go to bed after dinner? Too jacked to watch a movie"
Maggie knew those lies and that weird questions were going to make Michael doubt. She knew it was going to make him feel something was wrong. He knew her too well to know there was a change in her mood. "Sure thing, sweetheart. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm okay" she whispered, closing her eye and letting another lie leave her lips, because maybe, if she kept saying it, it would become true. "I'm okay"

Day 6 - Sharbot Lake to Perth - 42 km
Trail: Mostly flat
Last night I stayed at the Charbot Lake Inn. It's on the lake with beautiful views, a dock, kayaks, and a BBQ. I cooked my own steak for dinner. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. There is a pub next door, but it was closed. I tried to stay at the Rock Hill B&B, but it was full. Both are recommended.
I stopped to take a picture of this turtle and immediately noticed that the air was filled with sounds. The marsh was alive with the sounds of bullfrogs croaking, birds chirping, the pecking of woodpeckers, the flutter of ducks. I saw flowers, bees pollinating flowers, birds flying in all directions, and trees that have died and fallen, creating a very creative landscape. I have been riding through marshes every day of my ride and only today did I notice this beauty. I need to slow down and smell the roses. Apparently something I forgot when I lost my sense of smell.
I noticed a lot of markings along the trail. I finally concluded that it must be turtle nesting time and that the trailside mounds were nests. That would explain the turtles along the trail. Also interesting was the fact that turtles climb up a steep hill about 10 m to the location of the nest.
The trip was only 42 km but there were no restaurants between Charbot Lake & Perth so I packed a second breakfast and snacks.
The trail was good today and once I reached the start of the Tay-Havelock Trail (about 15 km from Charbot Lake) the trail became much better. The trail wandered past lake after lake with the odd marsh and wooded area. Definitely lots of opportunity to cool off on a hot day. Interesting sites included a deer on the trail, a giant beaver dam and a number of 100+ year old wooden barns.
Perth is a quaint little town with beautiful old stone buildings, parks, a coffee roastery, a couple craft breweries and some cool restaurants. There's even an opportunity to splurge at the Parkside Spa + Salon.
Tomorrow is Day 7 of my journey and it will be my day of rest.

Australia 2023
27th-28th January
It’s time for the final blog of this trip unfortunately as we return home to a slightly cooler climate tomorrow.
We’ve spent the last 2 days in Perth having travelled up from Albany including an obligatory stop at the town of ‘Williams’ for a few photos next to the sign! We had to really as Tom did the same on his 2007 trip here.
We’ve explored the old town and the harbour area and visited the Catholic Cathedral.
Today we were considering visiting the Australian Mint but quickly decided that, with temperatures over 30c again, a trip to the beach was much preferable, if less educational! Perth is overrun with beaches so we just went to the nearest one, which is the first of many in a 20 mile plus stretch running up the coast. Really nice morning with regular dips in the sea to cool down.
In the afternoon we visited a large park which had loads of attractions but it was just too hot to work up the energy to do anything so we headed back to the beach, Scarborough Beach this time, for a nice cup of tea whilst watching the kite surfers do their stuff.
A final celebratory meal of lamb and beef skewers in a nice Perth restaurant was a fitting finale!
A truly epic trip with so many memories to look back on. In particular we are so grateful to have been able to spend time with Lydia and Ellie - everything else has been a bonus!
Special thanks to Wishabago, Sue Gray, and others for showing interest.

What is a Crib Bag?
A crib bag is essentially a heavy-duty lunch bag designed for the harsh realities of mine sites and industrial environments. Unlike your typical lunchbox, crib bags are built with rugged materials like extra-strong polyester and PVC tarpaulin to withstand daily wear and tear.
Why Use a Crib Bag?
Mine sites and industrial settings can be far from amenities like cafeterias or restaurants. Crib bags become a miner's lifeline, ensuring they have access to proper nutrition throughout their long shifts. These bags are designed with insulated, heat-sealed linings to keep food and drinks at the desired temperature, whether it's keeping your lunch cool in the scorching Australian heat or ensuring a warm meal during colder months.

Storage Capacity: Consider the amount of food and drinks you typically pack for your shifts. Many crib bags come in various sizes to accommodate different needs.
Durability: As mentioned earlier, the material is key. Look for bags made from high-quality, extra-strong polyester or PVC tarpaulin that can withstand tough environments.
Pockets and Compartments: Multiple compartments and pockets can help you organize your food, drinks, utensils, and personal items efficiently.
Cleaning: Opt for a crib bag with a wipeable interior for easy cleaning, especially important for maintaining hygiene in potentially dusty or dirty environments.

choking on grapes
Hi Ana,
Happy new year!
We should really write to each other more often as so many things keep happening that they add up so quickly. Now I can't even figure out how to properly update you.
I got sick over the holidays but was okay exactly on New Year's Eve, so I went to watch Novak Djokovic's match here in Perth. Can you believe it? I've been watching the guy play on tv for over a decade, and I remember my countless embarrassing tweets about him especially around 2013-2016 (not that I ever stopped). I thought the match would last a few hours, but there were actually 3 matches for Serbia vs China so I ended up spending until a bit over midnight in the RAC arena. We did the countdown there and everything.
The best part is I was alone. I was sick all week so I didn't make plans - but when I got cleared that afternoon, I didn't even hesitate. I got tickets and planned my day regardless of whether I would have company or not. It was a dream come true and I was so happy.
At midnight I called B (my engineer bestie) to show him the arena fireworks, N (my lover) to greet him a very happy new year and see what he's up to, and Alecks (one of my best friends in Canada).
The next day, N picked me up so we can spend the first day of the year together. I got us grapes so we can eat 12 each - to have good luck for each month. I knew this boy was special because when I said, "Well, I figured if it was indeed lucky then we get good luck all year, but if it doesn't work, then it can't really do any harm."
He so quick-wittedly said, "It can if you choke on a grape."
So instead of going with our plan of just having the grapes slowly and talking about the things we want to do this year, we challenged each other to scarf down the grapes and eat all 12 at once. He had zero problems with this. I on the other hand, almost choked on my 10th grape. I think it's a sign that I'll have a pretty good year.
I know we also caught up on the 1st of January over the phone so it's not like you missed a lot of my updates - but it's been 10 days since and I have recently also just turned 29.
I also spent it with N, who very thoughtfully organised a dinner with me at this beautiful beach restaurant. Then in the morning made me homemade crepes with blueberries and agave syrup. I spent half of the day embracing him and the other half just giving him kisses. He even said, "You've had at least a hundred kisses today. Minimum."
He was not wrong. And these were very innocent, affectionate and really adorable kisses. I just like being with him. It's always so peaceful and relaxing. We also played Lego Fortnite and watched Scrubs while I rested my head on his chest.
For months, my friends have been calling me out about not being open or likely being too cool or too scared to take it to the next level with N, but if I'm being honest, I like where things are with us currently. Like I have zero complaints. He is the loveliest boy, and if this ends up being the most we can do with each other, then I still have zero regrets. And I mean that - cross my heart & hope to die - I love N but if this is it, I know for certain that we both will be okay.
I actually think it's one of the more beautiful things about our relationship. Neither of us are necessary for each other. We both have plenty of choices, and our pool only continues to grow as we do. And yet - we choose to stay with each other in whatever capacity we can.
I've had a lovely start to the year and one of the online things I've been doing lately, is actually being quite active on Instagram. Every few days, I would post a story or photo collage of things I have been up to, and little elements from this life I have here and I keep getting replies and messages of people saying they love my aesthetic, and how my life looks like it was lifted from pinterest.
It's not. And it's messy and rough around the edges and I have so many problems I don't even want to think about, but you know what?
I think I like this little life.
So no big plans this year. I just want to do better... drink more water, love more, generally be kinder - to myself and to others. and hopefully, not choke on any grapes.

LED Strip Lights in Australia: Illuminating the Future
Australia, a country known for its awe-inspiring landscapes, diverse wildlife, and innovative technology, is now embracing a bright addition to its palette – LED strip lights. A popular choice worldwide, LED strip lights in Australia have seen a surge in popularity due to their energy efficiency, long lifespan, and versatility. From urban homes in Sydney to rural spaces in the Outback, these lights are illuminating the way Australians perceive interior and exterior design.
What are LED Strip Lights?
LED strip lights are thin, flexible lighting solutions that come in a strip form, embedded with small LED bulbs. Available in a myriad of colours, these lights are often used for ambient lighting, accenting spaces, and even as primary light sources in certain design scenarios. Their adaptability and range of colour options have made them particularly popular among homeowners, designers, and businesses alike.
Why LED Strip Lights are Gaining Popularity in Australia
Energy Efficiency: Australians are globally known for their environmental consciousness. As a nation that feels the direct impacts of climate change, opting for energy-efficient solutions is a priority. LED strip lights consume considerably less energy than traditional bulbs, leading to reduced electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Flexibility in Design: Whether you’re illuminating the poolside area in Queensland, adding a cosy touch to a cafe in Melbourne, or giving an artistic flair to a gallery in Perth, LED strip lights offer unmatched design flexibility. They can be cut to specific lengths, allowing for personalised designs suitable for any space.
Durability: Australia’s diverse climate demands products that can withstand varying conditions. LED strip lights are not only energy-efficient but are also long-lasting. Their robust design ensures that they can endure both hot summers and cooler winters.
Safety: Unlike traditional bulbs that can heat up considerably, LED strip lights remain cool to the touch. This makes them safe for use in children’s rooms and in areas where there's a risk of contact.
Using LED Strip Lights in Australian Homes
From urban apartments to sprawling suburban homes, the use of LED strip lights in Australian residences has taken interior design to a new level.
Kitchen & Living Spaces: Installing them under cabinets or around kitchen islands offers a modern touch. In living spaces, they can be used behind televisions or as accent lighting on shelves and niches.
Bedrooms: LED strip lights are perfect for creating a serene ambiance. They can be placed behind headboards, around mirrors, or even along the baseboards to offer a soft glow.
Bathrooms: These lights can transform an ordinary bathroom into a spa-like experience. With appropriate waterproof ratings, they can be used near bathtubs, showers, and sinks.
Commercial Use of LED Strip Lights in Australia
Businesses across Australia are realising the potential of LED strip lights in creating memorable customer experiences.
Retail: Shops are utilising them to highlight displays, attract customers, and even guide foot traffic.
Restaurants & Cafes: From fine-dining establishments in Sydney to beachside cafes in Gold Coast, LED strip lights create the perfect ambiance for diners.
Offices: Modern workspaces are incorporating LED strip lights to improve aesthetics and ensure a pleasant working environment for employees.
Choosing the Right LED Strip Lights in Australia
When considering LED strip lights for any project, it's essential to consider the following:
Purpose: Determine whether they are for ambient, accent, or primary lighting.
Colour: They come in various colours and even in RGB versions that can change hues with the help of a controller.
Brightness: Ensure the luminosity is appropriate for the intended space.
Waterproofing: If being used outdoors or in moist areas, always choose waterproof variants.
Conclusion
LED strip lights in Australia are more than just a trend; they are shaping the future of lighting design across the country. Their myriad benefits, coupled with the nation’s focus on sustainable and innovative solutions, ensure that these lights are here to stay. Whether you’re redesigning your home or establishing a business, consider LED strip lights as a bright option for all your lighting needs.

Perfect place to celebrate, dine and create lasting memories-Fraser’s restaurant.
We are ready to give you an exclusive dining experience, are you ready?
Whether you’re travelling down the road for an impromptu visit to your neighborhood or heading somewhere elegant for a special event, the past year has made us appreciate Perth more than ever. We’ve pored over the archives, recommendations and long-time favorites to bring you the highlights (according to us) of our beloved city’s world-class dining.
Let’s talk about some unmissable experiences in Perth, Australia’s underrated capital of cool.
Indulge in a picnic at Kings Park.
Situated very close to the central business district, Kings Park offers over four-square kilometers of native bushland, perfectly maintained botanical gardens and open grassy spaces. It also has some of the most spectacular views of Perth and its neighborhood. Visit the DNA Tower for amazing sights as far as Rottnest Island. Or you can take a 620m walkway through the eucalyptus canopy to see the city’s beautiful skyline just before settling down for a bite al fresco from some 3,000 species of Western Australian flora.
Take a dip at Cottesloe Beach.
This immaculate white sand beach, a 30-minute drive from the city Centre, has been the favorite local coastal place for generations. Whether you want to swim about in the bright blue waters, snorkel amongst shoals of silvery fish or give paddle boarding a try – you can do it all at Cottesloe. Are you not much of a water baby? No problem. It’s worth visiting here to experience the laidback, calm vibe and spectacular coastal vistas alone. Grab a chair at a beachside bar and watch the sunset over the Indian Ocean.
Stroll the banks of the Swan River.
“It was made by the Rainbow Serpent Waugal” is an Aboriginal belief about the Swan River. Extending 60km through the heart of Perth, the Swan River has long been a hive of activity. Choose whether to take a long walk or bike ride along the Perth Esplanade. Jump onboard a river cruise and appreciate the scenic journey to Fremantle over lunch or by twilight. Clamber into a kayak; you might be fortunate enough to spot a few dolphins. Join the locals for fishing or head for the Crawley Edge Boathouse, one of the most photographed sites in the city.

Give it your best shot—both in life and liquor. You see, adulting is complicated; some days can get worse than others. Not to restrain your current lifestyle, but we think it’s fine to let loose once in a while. And the best way to go around it is by surrounding yourself with people you love and… of course, alcohol.
Australian cuisine is an amazing combination of different popular cooking methods worldwide. Although it is a well-known truth that Australians like bottled wine, a person can get many alternative popular alcoholic drinks. Here is a list of Famous Australian best alcoholic drinks you want to try in-country, the most liked boozes to try, on hitting Perth city restaurants, bars and pubs.
Ginger beer
Bundaberg beverage aficionados, rejoice! Australia is the place where this beverage originated; therefore, there is no way you can leave without trying some of their local ginger beer. If you’re feeling brave, you can sip it straight from the bottle, but mixing it with other beverages and cocktails will give you a different taste.
While you’re at it, it’s beneficial to understand the history of this beverage’s production. It is made from locally sourced dried ginger, sugarcane, and water and fermented using a particular yeast.
To make the flavour stay longer, they use dried ginger. If you dislike the flavour of ginger, trying Bundaberg’s rendition of ginger beer might convince you otherwise. There is simply no other option.
Local Craft beer
Did you know that Australia is ranked number two when it comes to beer consumption? A recent study found that Australians can drink 304 beers a year per person. Australia would have been recognised as the country that consumes the most beer worldwide if it weren’t for the Czechs, who can consume 419 per person yearly.
One of the most well-known brands in Australia is Fosters. You wouldn’t have a problem finding a bottle because it can be found practically everywhere in the nation. You can also sample some of their regional brews.
Australian Wine
Now, for people who are merely reading this in order to obtain the best wines in the nation, there is no need to wait any longer. Since Australia is a wine-loving nation, we included a list of the top vintages to seek out while there.
Australia’s well-known red wine grapes include Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. There are more varieties of red wine than you can ever imagine. However, the selection of its white equivalent is considerably wider and includes Sauvignon Blanc, Verdelho, Semillon, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio, among many other varieties.
Espresso Martini
Although the drink originated in London, Australians have a passionate relationship with it, and after trying it, you will too. Never forget to stock your cabinet with the velvety, calorie-dense espresso martini shot. High-quality coffee beans, vodka, and chocolate are used to create the coffee-flavoured cocktail. If you want to experience the mysterious yet beautiful flavour of coffee and vodka, sip it straight without adding ice. Espresso martinis should not be messed with because they may not be the best choice for a restful night’s sleep. Never pass up the chance to order the Australian cocktail bars that sell the most.
Red Wine
Australia has a reputation for producing high-quality red wine and has many wine regions, each specialising in a specific type of wine. Finding a top-notch red wine is easy because there are so many micro and macro producers, local retailers, and local growers. Choose Shiraz, a fiery, , flavourful red wine to keep the night cool. Nobody could possibly dislike Shiraz. A powerful scent with spices and dark fruits is to be anticipated. After taking a sip, Cabernet Sauvignon will reveal why it is known as the “King of Red Wine.” A large glass of Cabernet is undoubtedly the most excellent red wine to gulp with the finest slice of spicy red meat.
The best way to unwind after a hard day of sightseeing and exploring new places is with a pint of your favourite cocktail drinks. You can choose from a wide variety of drinks in Australia.

Here are the advantages of the best Bbq Kitchen
The days of an outdoor kitchen consisting only of a grill, a side burner, and possibly a refrigerator are long gone. Homeowners with large yards are creating larger outdoor kitchens with more components. This is part of a more significant trend of consumers investing more in their home's exterior, converting their backyard into another living space. If you enjoy outdoor cooking and entertaining, have ample outdoor space, enjoy spending time outside, and have a healthy budget for home improvements, you should consider upgrading to an outdoor kitchen. Building an outdoor kitchen is a great way to enhance your outdoor experience, whether you want to spend more time outside or entertain friends and family. Buy Outdoor Cooking Bench Perth at the earliest.
Here are some compelling reasons to build an outdoor kitchen for your home.
An outdoor kitchen can take several forms.
It can also be much larger and more luxurious, with stainless steel appliances, ample granite countertops, multiple grills, pizza ovens, and even dishwashers. Furthermore, if your outdoor kitchen is constructed with high-quality materials and components, it will last a lifetime. The best Outdoor BBQ Kitchen Perth will certainly help you.
Reduced Energy Bills
The electric bill rises when an indoor kitchen is used during the hot summer months because the extra heat inside forces the air conditioner to work harder to cool the house. I am cooking and preparing meals outside saves energy by keeping the air inside cooler.
Excellent Way to Have Fun
Outdoor kitchens are ideal for entertaining guests. While the food is being grilled or cooked, outside guests can socialize around the grill while the dinner or meal is being prepared and cooked. Since there is less space in an indoor kitchen than outside, it can get crowded hanging out with the cook. You can provide mood music, lighting, and outdoor furniture to make your guests feel at ease and create a mini paradise. Homeowners who have outdoor kitchens enjoy entertaining more. It's a complete social gathering area.
Keep Doors Outside
Cooking outside keeps all doors at bay. Some foods emit unpleasant doors, and rather than bringing them inside and staining furniture and clothing; they will be left outside. Foods like fish or deep-fried items emit a door that can linger for days. Scents appear to be stronger in the summer due to the heat. Another advantage is that the smells from the garden or the neighbour’s garden or farm may completely dissipate into the air.
Increases the value of your home
Adding an outdoor kitchen is more of a home improvement project. This is especially true if your outdoor kitchen is constructed of high-quality materials and appliances. Since most outdoor appliances are built to withstand harsh weather conditions, they can provide a lifetime of enjoyment and entertainment. The Custom Concrete Benchtops Perth are the best.
Spend Less on Restaurant Meals
An appealing outdoor space with your cooking and dining area will give you the impression that you are already going out to eat. Eating in your outdoor area saves money and provides an easy "drive" to and from.

Came here for pre-dinner drinks and bites and returned again (after a disappointing dinner at Bread In Common: tldr: bad service) intending for desserts but the kitchen had closed. They gave us Tim Tams and whipped up a complimentary dessert with what they had at the bar which was really appreciated. Thanks Max, Joshua, Richie, Tomas and the team for your warm & amazing hospitality - thanks for the complimentary last round of drinks and helping me charge up my phone too. Looking forward to when the full restaurant opens in October. ❤️🙏 #RepublicOfFremantle #Fremantle #Cocktails #Bar #PerthCocktails #PerthBar #PerthFoodReview #PFR_Cocktails #PFR_RepublicOfFremantle (at Republic of Fremantle Distillery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2Oq7Dv1wU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
