Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 222 - YUM! Cha + trip to the flicks!

Quick early brunch with Steve at Noemi's Cafe - interrupted twice by a good natured, handsome but totally stoned guy called Mason who wanted to know where the "day clubs" are and do we have cocaine - before he went into the City for a day's work ... on a Saturday! ... but they had a Go Live on Monday so it was all hands on deck.

Ah the Morning Glory juice ... yes they really call it that

Then I chilled for a while before heading into City via train for Yum Cha with Ellen and Tracy at The Eight Chinese restaurant at the top of Market City. Food was tasty enough but not the best Yum Cha I've ever had I have to say. Afterwards we headed to Paddy's for a shop but lasted 10 minutes - it's lost all its character now and feels like a giant $2 shop ...

Finished off the day watching Behind the Candelabra with my gorgeous guy, Steve, Waz, Ian and Ingo at Hoyts Broadway followed by dinner at Himalayan Char Grill in Glebe.

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 116 - Lest We Forget

A mid week public holiday is a glorious thing, interrupting the busy flow of work for one precious span of 24 hours. But we can never forget what it means and the men and women who sacrificed much so I could relax and chill on a day off in a peaceful, prosperous and free country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great things you did for me and all Australians.

The only outing was to the movies to see a military-themed Hollywood blockbuster - it was not picked because of that and I only realised the symbolism later on - "Battleship" and really wished I hadn't. (See my review here.) But loved hanging out with my gorgeous guy, Stepehn and Fahmi and stopping for pastizzis in King Street on the way home.
