Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 203: Goodbye Magnation, hello Ellen ...

After working on copy for Jane this morning, off to Newtown to pick up last lot of Entertainment Weekly mags from Magnation which is closing tomorrow :( No mags - got two others instead Total Film and Sci Fi Now - before heading to meet Ellen for lunch at Cafe C, followed by gelato and a nice slow walk back to St Peters station. Fab to see her but sad another store I love is GONE.

Tempura battered fish n chips

Oh and got the 300 days till Eurovision tweet from Kerry one day late (poor thing is snowed under at work) ... wow 65 days gone past since Eurovision 2014 already ... LOL

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!
