TGIF Funnies - Friday 31 May 2013

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 150 - Burritos baby!

Got the train to Macdonaldtown, picked up my Entertainment Weekly mags at Magnation, grabbed some books and a David Tennant as 10th Doctor Who bobble head  at the Arts Supplies store, some CDs at HUM (The Great Gatsby soundtrack and Kaki King's newie Glow) and signed up for a new internet plan with Telstra.

Phew!

Then met my beautiful guy for dinner at a new place called the Beach Burrito Company. Quite easy Mexican and a fun atmosphere. Definitely go back.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 149 - And yet more fog

Yes it was foggy again ... and no I didn't go walking ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 148 - Foggy thoughts

Such heavy fog today.

Interesting to walk through this morning with Fahmi and when I got to work you couldn't see the Bridge till well into the morning.

And here are the tweets the day inspired ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 147 - Zara and lovely praise

So here are some lovely shots of my gorgeous niece Zara ...

Cuddling a baby guinea pig. Fun day out.

Zara was chosen to go up on stage at Currumbin Sanctuary and hold the black headed python then help put it in the bag. She was so excited - made her day. This is one animal lover! (from Helen's Facebook page)



And some lovely feedback from an Australian Writers' Centre Twitter follower ...

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 145 - The (almost) end of Eurovision

Woke up this morning, and after a shower and Insiders, and while waiting for the toast to cook (Steve was still showering) I took most of the Eurovision decorations, largely because the decorations were starting to droop markedly threatening to choke us as we walk by.

It's always a sad day when they come down but I did leave some up for as long as they last as Aidan and I both love the colour and the different look to the place.

Then off to get a haircut and groceries at Marrickville Metro while Steve headed home to clean up - then he came to collect me about 2pm or so and I spent the afternoon napping, reading and blogging before an Oricco chicken dinner and home.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 144 - Happy Birthday Susie and Ian

Big fabulous birthday-a-thon today!

Started off with my dear friend Susie's birthday at St George Motor Boat Club in Sans Souci, just next door to where I lived when I first came to Sydney.

It was a gorgeous sunny day, the company was wonderful, we got Susie a giant Piglet and Winnie the Pooh foil balloon (as well as the first season of Grimm) and the food was quite delicious.

A wonderful, fun birthday lunch.

Then we sped off to Clovelly for a spot of bowling to celebrate Ian's birthday at Clovelly Bowling Club where we have been for the last 2 years. 

I didn't as well as normal, which is to say not very well, either undershooting or overshooting but we had so much fun that it really didn't matter.

Steve bowled the play of the day - SOOOO close to the jack! Amazing!

Then off to Thai Cathriya restaurant, after relaxing in the bar area at the Club with vending machine chips and wine, for yummy (if a little overpriced) Thai food.

Brilliant day and night ...
