Getting together for a norgy

I know, technically speaking, a norgy is when news breaks and everyone jumps on the norg to be the first with the story (such as when Steve Irwin died and then Peter Brock). That was a wierd time in Australian history, but I digress.

But I couldn’t help but use the word, when myself and my fellow norg bloggers - Matt(insert mystery surname here), Justin Middleton and Busybee - got together this week.

We’ll call it a norgy gathering. It was great to get together and have a chat about the norg and all our hopes for what it will come to mean to the Perth community. All of them are doing such an excellent job and I really have to thank them for their committment to my own little dream that is the norg.

I even scored a hot tip on where to get the best fruit mince pies in the lead up to Christmas. I thought Matt was just boasting about his mum’s cooking, until Busybee nearly wet her pants in excitement over the fact that Matt’s mother was the one who supplied her own grandmother with the best fruit mince pies ever.

So, if you are in need of some yummy fruit mince pies the place to head is Corrigin. I’ll have to get Matt to pass on the name of his mum’s cafe. The other thing Corrigin is famous for BTW is its dog cemetery, so the trip will be well and truly worth it.

Another food related tip, is that I highly recommend Ria restaurant and in particular the shredded beef dish. I’m having cravings for it daily. It was the perfect restaurant for a small gathering.
There are some photos of the get together, but I think I censored most of them after a truly unflattering photo of me found it’s way on to Flickr  (no I will not direct you there!) But I’ll see if there are any photos that make the grade and post them if there are.

The blogs are something I hope to expand in the future, so if anyone has a blog they think belongs on the norg or a request for a particular kind of blog let me know.

Hope to see you round the norg ….
