Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 49 -

First up, after a luxurious sleeping, I returned my plates for storage to the RTA since I no longer have a car to put them on. They charge me $50 a year to put them on a shelf!

Then we took Fahmi to pick up his new bike from Cell Bikes on Parramatta Road, Stanmore (insanely hot - it's very own hellishly hot micro-climate.. Parramatta Road that is, not Cell Bike,s which was beautifully air conditioned), which he rode home...

Then I got a shot of my gorgeous nephew Bodhi riding his new bike at my parents' place...

Finished off with a delightfully non-rainy night at the Open Air Cinema. It was closing night so jazz band playing, free ice cream, and a night club atmosphere and fireworks afterwards (we stayed for about 1/2 hour). We think they were testing the waters for possibly doing the nightclub thing next year. We shall see. The movie, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, was quite touching and I loved it.

What I loved most though was sharing a romantic meal and some wine with my beautiful guy looking over to the Harbour. Just gorgeous. Gorgeous!

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 48 - Perfectly wonderful TGIF ruts

Some ruts are good.

Specifically the ruts involving champagne/white wine, great friends - in this case, Fahmi, Waz and Ian - my gorgeous guy and either pizza, or tonight in the spirit of not clogging our arteries, burgers (healthy self-made ones with loads of vegetabley goodness!)

Do it all on a balmy breezy Summer's night out on the balcony.

Bliss.

Waz drinks LOTS... just kidding

Fahmi's fabulous dessert

To Waz - he's off to Perth for 4-6 months work. We will him (although he's back every second weekend).

More toasting!

More calories!

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 47 - Loudly yelled Japanese phrases!

My guy got back to town, tired after negotiating delays on both the roads leading across the Blue Mountains and so we had a simple dinner of sushi in Newtown.


Yummy on all levels.
