The Last Two Weeks

Time seems to have flown by and I can't believe two weeks have gone past without me updating my blog. So what have I been up to? Well work wise I had a launch for a new luxury limited edition beer last week at Cafe Sydney, which was very swish and nice to be able to enjoy a three course lunch at one of Sydney's top restaurants and not have to pay for it!.

Last weekend I met up with a friend and spent the afternoon at the Surry Hills food and music festival, wandering round the different market stalls and soaking up the atmosphere. Then Sunday Sam and I thought we would have a coffee and wander round Paddington, but the weather got the better of us and we got absolutely drenched on the way home.

In fact the last two weeks have been overall quite wet and miserable. Yet I am refusing to buy a coat as can't see the point of shipping loads of stuff back. So instead I am wearing a hoodie and waterproof to walk to work in. Very classy!

This weekend I went up the sky tower to admire the views of the city (as surprisingly it was a nice day on Saturday) and then yesterday I did the Coogee to Bondi coastal walk with a couple of friends and a lovely little terrier dog. However Bella (the dog) decided that after walking to Bondi and getting drenched along the way, she was too tired to walk back. No taxi driver wanted to take our wet dog back to Coogee so in the end Dan ran back to collect the car and Sam and I decided to get the bus home. We didn't expect the bus drivers to also refuse a wet dog too and only eventually, with a lot of persuasion, did we eventually get home.

I also went out with a few girls from work on Friday night which was nice, for a free cocktail and pizza evening, being held in a trendy bar in Kings Cross. Although there wasn't enough free booze for our liking. That said by the time I got home I was feeling quite merry.

Last night I went to the opera house to see Paul Potts (winner of has Britain's Got Talent). I managed to get some great seats and Paul was amazing. Although he did get quite nervous during his impromtu chats between songs.
