Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 181 - Wet morning at work + Zara

Into work on a cold, wet Sunday morning to open up for two classes (with the help of my gorgeous guy) ...

Giving the day a wonderful sense of fun was this "silly face" shot of Zara ... such a gorgeous, delightful clown.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 180 - Baby croissants and "Fantasia"

Lovely brunch of baby croissants at my place before Steve left to work for the day ...

Then we got wonderfully surprised on a VERY wet night by Ian who had asked us MONTHS before to keep the night free. Turns out Steve and I had an early birthday present, and Fahmi a late one seeing "Fantasia" with the score played by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra ... absolutely divine animation ... and the music was beautiful.

Followed this up with dinner at Opera Kitchen - fish n chips for me, Ingo and Ian, burgers for Steve and Fahmi with wine - looking out onto a clearing night. Bliss.

Taken in lower lobby of Concert Hall after eating sandwiches and drinking bubbles.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 179 - Rain ... and pizza and wine

Lots of rain today on a busy day at work ...

Then to Waz's for pizza and wine - after a calorie-bashing walk with Waz in what turned out to be pouring wine about 1/3 of the way through - with Fahmi and eventually Steve when he got back from Bathurst. Talked a lot, watched some TV, played Xbox games such as bursting alien bubbles and water rafting on rapids then watched an episode of CHiPs on YouTube after I remarked on how hot I used to find the guys in their police uniforms.

TGIF Funnies - Friday 28 June 2013

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 178 - Road trip-ish!

Break from work today as Valerie and I headed to Alexandria to check out all sorts of products from a PR company ... fun to see them in person instead of on a website and they gave us fresh juice, sample socks, and jelly! #suchfun

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 177 - Cakes for Nicole

The new admin coordinator started today part time and we welcomed in the customary way with sweet yummy cakes from Kirribilli ... lovely hour or so of chatting and bonding ...

and while I was at Spiders Group tonight, Rudd challenged Gillard AGAIN and won ... the preamble to this elicited this tweet from me ...
