Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 182 - Cocktails and Sherpas

Night out on King Street with the gang.

First stop was going to be Kuletos for cocktails but crazy busy full so we moved 2 doors up to Corridor, a new micro bar that is three very slim stories tall with a cool outdoors area on the roof. Yes we were all up against a thin narrow wooden ledge but we were able to talk, and apart from start cigarette smoke from the "cancer chasers" aka smokers, it was a delightful evening. The cocktails were delish too.

Then just down the block to Sherpa Kitchen for dinner. Peter and I grabbed the wine and met everyone else there giving us time for some chit chat about the life, the universe etc. The food as always was divinely good - love the momos and guess what their butter chicken was awesome (colour me surprised!) - the conversation fun and the service was fabulous. Love the place.

We bid farewell to Steve M and then Peter, Waz, my gorgeous guy and I wandered home via Gelato Blue for gelato on a very cold night. But they were doing a brisk trade!

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 181 -

Rushed home, changed into nice dressy outfit and into the Masonic Club for the retirement party of James a friend of my gorgeous guy's. Met up with a lot of Steve's old work friends - Jeff and Ann, David and Scott, and the lovely Lisa (as well as James's partner Brian) - then off for a late dinner at Mamak's, a Malaysian food place on the edge of Chinatown. Great roti, and great conversation with two very lovely guys.

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 180 - Zara is a TIGER!

Looking like an adorable extra from the film of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, Zara is loving getting out and about in her tiger outfit.

So very cute (and yes I have ABBA's "Tiger" playing in my head now!)
