how fabulous!!!

had a great weekend.. how about you? friday was a night on the couch... oh how i needed that. there was doctor who and there was peppermint chocolate. and a deep blue sea doona to drown in.

cafe bagatelles was the place to break my fast. eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. had to set myself up for the day. a hair appointment later i was on my way into the city (thanks soph) to catch a class at CAE. i had signed up for a talk on the history of the camino. it was fantastic and i'll be back to take the practical guide to the camino later this year. but sitting in the room with all these other people reminded me how much i loved to be surrounded by other people with similar interests, all passionate to learn. there will be more classes to come, and soon.

this eve was the "meet the scene" ball at the prahran town hall. got all gussied up for the event. i was surprised there weren't more people themed up but it was a fabulous evening of dancing to the pearly shells and catching up with people from all over victoria who are swing dancers.





sunday was the first day of winter and also the third anniversary of my dad checking out. i won't say passing away because it would just remind me of flatulence - and yes, he was prone to that. i miss my dad immensely. a good travelling companion, could talk crap for hours, and a bloody fantastic dad - the absolute best.

this day i watched the fourth indiana jones instalment, indiana jones and the kingdom of the crystal skill and even with all the bad press i have to say i enjoyed it. it kept to the indy formula and i liked that. i remember watching raiders of the lost ark as a family when it first came out - yes i know, i'm getting past the young stage. in age maybe, not behaviour or attitude. :)

onto a bookstore and a late lunch at pellegrinis - canneloni and a granita. mmmmm.... this is one of my favourite places in the city. then a late sunday arvo, sitting on the stoop in the sun at home reading frankie. these kind of sundays are dreamy.
