A wasted few days

Excuse the pun but this last few days has been a culinary desert. I was in Sydney for two days and had a very ordinary Chinese meal with friends then over the past few days I have suffered from some form of stomach flu with difficulty in keeping anything in the stomach.
Saturday was my birthday and Justine and family came with a blueberry and nut tart from Flute of Fyschwick. Jade and Jonty helped me with the candles and with the eating.
