As of last week, on a Monday you will all be treated to a rundown of my weekend. I know that you are excited about this, last weekend would be very hard to be topped, this weekend whilst not topping it was still extremely enjoyable, and here it is.
It’s always a nice feeling to finish work on a Friday. This week I headed off to Newtown to meet my girlfriend, have a superb Turkish dinner, then watch Stephen K Amos as part of the Sydney Comedy Festival. He was brilliant, my cheeks were hurting at the end which is always a good sign after you have seen a stand-up comic. On the way home we stopped off at my favourite Gelato place where I helped myself to desert and I was one happy guy. When at home we watched some Come Dine with Me and the final episode of the Walking Dead series 2 and then off into the land of the Z’s, wunderbar.
Saturday. After a very enjoyable lie in, a nice relaxing morning was had. I took my girlfriend to the station so that she could meet her mum and spend a day shopping in the city and I went off to rugby. The ground we played at was superb, the man that manicures the lawns of the SCG also does the grounds of Drummoyne Rugby Club and let me tell you, you can tell. The pitch was immaculate if the performance wasn’t. After the rugby, again, was the only negative of the weekend – the bloody Sydney traffic. Honestly, the person that staggers the traffic lights should be shot, they just don’t have a clue. Add to that the people that queue across the junction and you get gridlock, but hey I had some good old dance music pumping out of the radio to keep my spirits up.
After a nice shower when I eventually got home, it was dinner time. We went to the very Italian suburb of Haberfield. Now apparently you don’t go to the restaurants there for great service, it doesn’t exist, but when the food is that good who gives a rats arse!!!! I even bought myself a superb biscuit to enjoy when at home. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing, tending to my wounds and watching Mad Men with the accompaniment of my better half and a quite sumptuous biscuit. Superb
Sunday. Another lie in. again not a ridiculous lie in, but just enough. The pair of us arose at about 10. The usual Sunday morning pottering about was then undertaken which involved a bit of washing and hanging out the washing and taking some clothes off the rack and putting them away and then we were off on our travels again. Watson’s Bay was the destination, Fish and Chips was goal. The sun was out, the ferry crossing, quick and uneventful, the queue for the fish and chips – monstrous. Fortunately for the establishment the 25 minute wait for the take away fish and chips was worth it, the fish was excellent, the chips damn good.
After gorging ourselves a nice walk in the sunshine was needed and undertook. Our arrival back at the ferry terminal coincided with the arrival of the express ferry service back to Circular Quay – perfect timing. 25 minutes later the two of us were in the Guylian restaurant indulging ourselves on a waffle and a milkshake, hell yes.
After this extravagance a bit of a reality bump was waiting for the train home amongst 1,000,000 families with kids, nothing that a brisk walk down to the other end of the platform couldn’t fix, sorted. Groceries for the week purchased on the way home, dinner cooked and demolished, it was relaxation time. Very needed. The only way to end a Sunday night, yes that’s right Homes Under the Hammer, Ace. That this the thought for today, tune in tomorrow for something else. Laters
