Australia Day Long Weekend Rewind
Friday
After actually being able to sleep in, I pull myself together and meet Skye and Tash at Summer Hill for a late breakfast at Plunge.
The big breakfast there is delicious.
I make a fruitless journey to Birkenhead Point.
Go back towards Tash's place and we head to Cabarita Pools for a lay in the sun and a dip in the freekin freezing waters. "Hey everyone.. Kebabs are heerreeee!" - Hahaha.
On our way back to the car, the ice cream can drives past us into the park. So we get to the car, drive back into the park to buy some whippys.
She had to wait for one guy to buy about 30 cones till we got ours. Not before some kid called me a "terrorist" for sitting in my car taking photos.. then having his mum walk up along the car and have a good look inside. You 'right?
Friday night was when Geoff (from my office) had organised his 40th birthday party in the city. So Tash & I decided to "dress" up!
Bit of a crazy night with my work colleagues.. and Chad + Tai joined us a bit later. The night went pretty fast.. but our feet were killing and we still needed to catch a bus (yes, public transport!).. ended with us walking along Glebe Pt. Rd. and Parra Rd with our shoes in our hands.

Saturday
2 days off in a row? Unheard of!
Had another breakfast meeting. This time with Tracy (check out the rock!) at Majors Bay Rd in Concord. We just picked a cafe off the rank.. but I wouldnt recommend the Majors Bay Cafe. Our meals (we both ordered a variation of Eggs Benedict) came on a big white plate with nothing but 2 halves of a muffin, topped with our variations, 2 poached eggs and hollandaise. Would it have hurt to put a bit of green on the side? I would've even settled for parsley. And the service was really povo - they didn't ask if we needed anything else or wanted more drinks after they took our plates away and gave us a cup of water each, where they gave everyone else a bottle. At one point, a waitress came over and started laying down napkins and cutlery and I had to say "umm.. we've already eaten" and she embarressingly picked them up and ran off. *bum-bowww*
I popped in briefly to see Nicass, Kosta (who was working), Isabella and Jorge (who was sleeping). Watched worm eat 2 of Nicass' homemade fruit puree iceblocks.
Went to Harvey Norman in Auburn and bought a microwave (its so swanky)
And then I went to Ikea and.. suprise! My TV shelf was there! I eyed it off and was a bit weary as it was pretty big. After a quick look that noone was in the aisle, I somehow (probably really unattractively) manoeuvred it onto the trolley and paid for it. It took 10 mins to actually be able to get into a lift, but shit hit the fan when I got to the car:
The stupid box didnt fit.
So I had to call my Dad to bring the ute all the way out to Rhodes and help me take it to the apartment. Tash came along with her mum and sister.. and they actually helped me put together some of the things. What little champions. We also turned the fridge on.. so its almost liveable now! Which is a bit scary.
Sunday
.. is usually boring because of work. And doesnt really need to be talked about.
Except I gossiped a lot with Sue about her Fiasco dates last week. That was pretty cool.
