Dinner, Dinner, Dancing and Drinks

On Thursday night I took my dad out to dinner at Peacock Gardens in Crows Nest, in my humble opinion the best Chinese restaurant in Sydney. We ate till our belly's were full of great pinot noir and seafood. I bumped into an old buddy of mine whom I haven't seen for a year or so and jumped back into each others life as if we hadn't skipped a beat of course the topic of conversation consisted of the hype of Australia making it into the world cup! As soon as N left the table Dad and G asked if he had "a friend".

Friday night was J's birthday dinner. G works at Chez Rene it was magnificent! I had for entree Escargots a I'Ail (snails served with champagne garlic butter sauce), main: Filet de Buffle au Vin Rouge (Buffalo fillet, served medium-rare with a French mushroom sauce) for dessert we shared: Vacherin Glace (Three layers of homemade icecream on a meringue base) - My mouth is watering thinking about it....

After dinner we went to join S's celebrations! He finally graduated from Uni! Congratulations! We were dancing to ol' 70's & 80's classics (I usually enjoy this tunes after many alcoholic beverages, but I was designated driver).

Saturday morning I was up bright and early to watch the World Cup 2006 draw. So exciting! 178 days to go!

I then met L and her mum for day number 2 wedding dress shopping. L had been flicking through numerous wedding magazines and always been drawn to a specific designer. She slid the dress on and was dancing around the store - happiest I've ever seen her... L put the 50% deposit on the dress right there and then! We discussed the dress for the next hour over brunch at 5 ways. I'm so unbelievably happy for L.

Saturday night was at Cargo Bar for drinks. V's birthday celebrations. V and her friends are so beautiful I so enjoyed spending time with un-pretentious girls and guys with plenty of pink faux champers flowing (no one was asked to leave this weekend).
