What A Week

What a week for adventures! Girls night adventure on Monday, Horse day adventure on Tuesday, Ladies day adventure on Thursday and Ugly Dress Up 80's adventure last night. All topped off by a work adventure today.


We shall divide this into sections,


Girls Night Adventure


As may become a theme, this was meant to be a quiet drinking night, ie not getting smashed. But even after Eri promised me she'd get me home for a good night's sleep in my own bed we started on the Jager, then I got us kicked out of Bimbo's, then we had cocktails, then we crashed with three of us on a mattress on the floor in Kate's empty house, then it was four hours later and we were up and on our way to breakfast at Alta Vita.

Not a quiet night at all.

This night also began our new phase of relationship with the Souvlaki King.

As usual we went for our post booze binge on 'lamb' and 'chicken' and 'garlic sauce', no wait. I'm pretty sure the garlic sauce is actually garlic sauce. But one can never be too certain.

Lo and behold when we walked in there though, not only was there the Souvlaki King, but also the Souvlaki Princess, with a pretty gold diamond ring on her finger. After much debate we decided she must be marrying Cranky, and we told them as much.


Horse Day Adventure

Before Monday I had no clue of a single horse running in the Cup this year, and even then i knew nothing about them. I was happy to just be going out for a roast style barbecue. And man was it good.

Pete and Ev's new place is awesome. Very much like a proper house, and so close to so may good things. Conveniently close to places where I might get myself drunk and stranded.

As usual Ev excelled himself in the kitchen. Roast pork, lamb and beef. With a healthy dose of high heeled hack thrown into the equation. (By me, not Ev.)


Ladies Day Adventure

As much as I was so over the idea of going out to the races, as soon as I had an outfit sorted, especially one which didn't require any new purchases, I was suitably excited.

All I have to say about his one is;


"No, no, no. Not into the chip bucket with you."

This day also brought about our next meeting with the Souvlaki King. I don't really know how it happened, but as we were walking past we decided to go in and have a chat. He remembered us from Monday night, and much hilarity ensued.

Then on to Bar Open, where we caused offence with our overdress. So much so they put a sign up on the door with a 'No fascinators" decree. They loved us though, so look forward to seeing us up on some sort of Bar Open wall of fame/shame.

When we'd had as much beer as our fragile little forms could hold we headed back to Souvlaki King for sunstenance and photos. Cranky wouldn't come out from behind the counter for a photo. He said the Souvlaki Princess would get jealous, but the Souvlaki King let us behind the golden rope to realms never before dreamed of by mere plebs such as us. So we got a photo with him.






Ugly Dress Up 80's Adventure

Again this one started out with a 'no getting smashed' policy, as I had to work today. But B was driving all the way from Elwood and needed me to help her get to Bundoora. So I had a few beers, and the obligatory West Coast Coolers and then out came the Jager. So much dancing I thought I might pass out. Everyone looked so fantastic though. I shouldn't be surprised. We're not really ones to hold back when it come to making fools of ourselves.



Work Adventures


Not too bad today. It is midday though, and all I've done is vacuum and change the window. I just got lunch delivered to me which makes the day infinitely more bearable. Now all I need is coffee before my one and only appointment of the day arrives at 2.30.


Keep up the adventuring kids.
