Holding the Reins of the Runaway Extrovert 2013: Day 250 - Vote away your troubles ... or not

Federal election day and so Steve and I, Waz and Fahmi walked to Erskineville Public School to vote, and buy the fundraising cakes that are as much a part of the day as the voting ...

Then off to Cafe Sofia for brunch which was surprisingly not packed with voters ...

Then back home stopping to admire some street art, have a nap ...

Day finished off in the best way possible with dinner at Shenken Cafe in Enmore - such delicious lamb and chicken skewers, and divinely yummy zucchini and tahini dip - and then we got to see the incomparable Cyndi Lauper in concert at the Enmore Theatre! It was Steve's 50th birthday present from me along with a hardcover copy of her memoir and her first 5 CDs in a box ...

She was amazing!!

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 252 - Voting and brunch and roast dinner ... OH MY!

Up and at 'em for a semi-busy day of voting and buying fundraising cakes, biscuits and sausage sandwiches "for the children!" with Fahmi ...

Then to brunch with Fahmi at Cafe ism ...

Then a walk back to Erko where we dropped off Fahmi before heading to Broadway to buy Hallmark ornaments and groceries and then back to Steve's to nap - for 2 hours! OMG (but I needed it) - and then a delightful relaxed night in with dinner by Steve (a gloriously lush roast chicken dinner - YUM!).

Street art in Erskineville

Roast dinners. Delicious ...
