Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 61 - Not so much Mardi Gras

Raining was a-threatenin' the Mardi Gras parade - in the end it didn't rain on the parade so I felt guilty that for the second year in a row we'd cancelled on going (Peter wasn't keen at all, Ian and Fahmi on fence so in the end I made the call not to go, not wanting a repeat of last years 2 hours of horrible indecision) - so we headed to Dendy instead in Newtown and watched a new movie, Side Effects, by Steven Soderbergh, which was excellent.

Back home King Street to Pastizzi Cafe for pasta and veal. Having only had pastizzis from there before, the food was delicious, divine and just plain gorgeous. YUM. (Ian and I went down to the union to get red wine.)

So we might have missed the parade, but had a brilliant night of catching up together and lots of laughs.

Loved it (so much so that by the end of the night my guilt at missing the parade had almost disappeared).
