Oops. Sorry ... fell off the blogging map for a while there. My bad.
Blame it on my birthday, blame it on a busy week, blame it on a scratchy, sore throat. Hopefully it's resolved now (well, all save for the throat) and I shall bounce back in to posting. Thank you for your patience!
Actually, my birthday was funny because my boy took me to an 'undisclosed location' in Pyrmont, Sydney, for dinner. As it turned out, we had an amazing dinner in a building that used to house an old sugar mill.
While we were looking for a park, though, I still had no idea where we could be headed.
Pyrmont was a puzzling suburb to be taken to for dinner (athough very much my scene as it has great post-industrial vistas out to the water over old shipyards and factories) and it gave me cause to ask Andrew,
Darling, are you taking me to Star City Casino* so that we can eat at the buffet** with Shop-a-Dockets***?
To which he admirably replied, without missing a beat,
No, I'm taking you to Star City's buffet without any Shop-a-Dockets.
Editor's note: *) Star City Casino is also in Pyrmont. It's shockingly hideous; **)Buffet is very, very dodgy. Maybe one step up from eating at Hooters; and ***) Shop-a-Dockets are coupons that you get on the back of supermarkets receipts in Oz. They give you discounts on crap you didn't want in the first place.
All this was amusing to me for one key reason: we have, on more than one occasion, actually eaten at said buffet and used Shop-a-Dockets to do so. Oh, my beautiful life!
At any rate, I am working this afternoon and then have class from 6 to 9 this evening. After that, I reckon I'll need to name my five Blog Day '05 picks. Bear with me!
Thank you for reading,
Tiffany
