Fond and happy memories of Bondi Beach - last time I was there was with Simon Bates in 1989!

Good grief..winter??
well it was 40 degrees here in Oz and Thank God (I know him personally) I am now living in Bondi Beach which is both wonderful at times and often ghastly (100s of drunken Irish, German & British backpackers throwing up on the footpath by mid-night. God bless them)
But today was wonderful as my American scientist friend who is visiting from the northern QLD took me to lunch at the Icebergs which overlooks Bondi Beach.
I settled for a simple smoked salmon salad which was superb although the chef & owner of Icebergs, charming Italian (aren't they all?) Maurice Terzini recommended something else but also sent a bottle of bubbly on the house.
It's great having been a life-long Ligger that people forget and think you were once a paying customer !
The last time I was at the Icebergs it was for a party a few years ago for Paris Hilton and the launch of a new beer. I got a bit tired and left early and as I left I found a Japanese tourist sitting in the back seat of Paris' waiting limo and going through her shopping (he didn't steal anything- just nosey)
I also got my young excitable German assistant to stay behind, not that he needed prompting, and he took some snaps of Paris snogging a few blokes and we made a packet from those ghastly UK tabloids and Hello!. Love Hello!
And I even popped down to the amazing pool today below for a quick swim but was shocked by the 5000 Japanese tourists there. They have discovered it. What a nightmare.
People say I name drop. So rude.

Chopped two Lamb Steaks into chunks and banana shallots into chunks too; boil a large potato chopped into about ten pieces; fry the lamb and onions in olive oil; add white wine (a splash of very good Puligny Montrachet) with two stock cubes and garlic; splendid.
