in the lower half of the world today is summer solstice. year 9 geography tells me that this means the earth’s axial tilt will be at its maximum inclination towards the sun. childhood memories tell me that this is the ‘longest day of the year’… and what better day to launch brunch?

that’s right ladies and gentlemen, sea circus is no longer nocturnal. no longer do we have to wait for the sun to set. now we are up in the day!

open from 8am everyday for breakfast, lunch and brunch.

purveyors of coffee and croissants, eggs and oj, salads and smoothies. take a glimpse at the brunch menu here. then come and say selamat pagi. or bonjour. or gutentag. or buenos dias. or…

p.s. i just have to say that it feels really antipodean saying that today is the ‘summer solstice’ when we all know that really it should be the ‘winter solstice’. whatever it is in your hemisphere, enjoy!

last sunday we opened the louvers for our first brunch & beats party

there were some old familiar faces…

and a few new ones too

we chowed down on some yummy breakfast [ricotta pancakes with banana & palm sugar caramel]

and tried out the new hangover happy meals [detox: poached eggs on toast, pink fruit salad, herbal tea, coconut water, wheatgrass shot, orange slice & happy game / retox: full english fry up, coffee, oj, berocca shot, pandaol & happy game]

hangover happy game option 1:

hangover happy game option 2:

as an unqualified nanny, i can certify that playing kids’ games is THE best hangover cure

hair of the dog works too…

look forward to seeing more of you at the next sunday brunch & beats…

sunday brunch & beats - every sunday [11-5]

sunday brunch & live dj beats - last sunday of every month [11-5]

i loved every bit of last sunday’s brunch & beats… but my favourite bit was probably this…

in october 2010 australian cricketer ricky ponting described the young english batsman - alastair cook - as the team’s ‘weak link’. 766 runs and an ashes win later and i think it’s safe to say ponting’s point [like his team’s performance] wasn’t his strongest. weak link? yeah, not so much.

yes, that is an australian sporting the union jack flag as a cape. yes, he is doing the royal wave. and no, you should never bet against an educated english girl. la la la!

[slightly worried about the rugby now… but looking forward to watching england talent jonny wilkinson and danny cipriani nonetheless]
