Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 193: Dulwich Hill and Leichhardt

Chilled day at Dulwich Hill which started with me getting vittels from IGA including croissants for Saturday brunch, pancake mix for Sunday brunch and rolls, meat and salad stuff for lunches while Steve attended to a mountain of tax work ...

Then off that night to see Still Life at Palace Cinemas in Leichhardt - were going to see Yves St Laurent or Lunchbox but both sold out! - and since this session was about an hour later than we'd planned, time for dinner at a club next door with yummy food.

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 299 - Carolyn, brunch and second hand fun!

We kicked off the day with croissants and juice for brunch which I got up at IGA before heading off for shopping at Rozelle Markets where I bought some cheap socks, a $5 bio on Judy Garland by Mel Torme and a $2 Christmas teddy bear holding a gift.

So much fun and finished all that shopping off with lunch at the Rosebud Cafe where we had Persian Mint Juice (mint, OJ, pineapple juice and ice) and burgers. Awesome day.

Then we dropped Carolyn at the airport and headed home for a nap. Steve wasn't feeling particularly good so he ended up sleeping for 4 hours, getting up around 6.45 so I blogged, read etc. Then we stayed in and had party pies and sausage rolls for dinner.

Zara, and friends Andre and Anton doing their best to loosen the wheel - Zara and Anton succeeded in their quest!

Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 196 - Sick day 1

Off sick today.

I couldn't stop coughing and felt utterly miserable.

Spent much of the day in bed - bar trips to the kitchen to get food and 1 hour setting up tweets and Facebook posts for work - napping and watching TV including of course Ellen.

And I finally got to eat the croissants that Steve got me to mark Bastille Day (which was yesterday).

Mmm croissants with Berocca ... and Bisolvon ... and Aspro Clears ... delicious!
