My week was full of up’s and down’s. I couldn’t wait to start the weekend.
The weekend started that little bit earlier than usual, coffee with a new found friend (during working hours – gotta love the property industry). No working back on a Friday, I ran down the road for drinks at The Clock Hotel with TC, a few glasses of red, talking about PD2 antic’s, why would he say to me ‘I didn’t realise you were friends with TC!?!’ She introduced me to an absolutely gorgeous hunk of man, a stock broker – I was only saying recently that I wanted to familiarise myself with shares hmmm
After the quick interlude with TC I was off to J and C’s place for a DVD and pizza night, I LOVE hanging out with them, low maintenance friends that I can throw off my shoes and flop on the lounge without hesitation (Chis and Jo are a product of my introduction, they moved in together over Christmas/ New Year after meeting at my birthday party 2 years ago), we watched ‘Goodnight and Good luck’ thoroughly enjoyed it, highly recommend it, sensational, but not to be followed by ‘Four Brothers’ two extremes.
Saturday morning I was up bright and early, coffee, danish and a newspaper, a wonderful way to start the day. A bit of shopping with mother dearest and I went home to relax in front of the TV. I’m so used to working on a Saturday I don’t know what to do with my day. I watched ‘Lover Boy’ an old ‘80’s fav and fell asleep on the lounge – oops! BIG OOPS! I was supposed to be at a S’s birthday party part 3 that commenced at 1:00pm, 5pm I turn up! Coova! I didn’t know many people, honestly I wasn’t in the mood to mingle in new groups, I’m great one on one, introverted in large groups, the conversation steered towards a topic I’m not fond of, so just after 6 I left.
Oh what a night! Started with breaking open a bottle of pink Champagne at V & R’s, M. updated us on his escapades with his ex-girlfriend, whom called 16 times in half an hour - Ick! Back up chicky!
The girls night out, we went to Coogee Bay Hotel, drank another 3 bottles of Champers @ $13.90 a bottle – bargain! We spent most of the night hanging out with the Queensland Police Footy Team! How did I get home?
Sunday morning, actually until the afternoon I was suffering from the hang over from hell, hair of the dog? Yep, was at M & Mz BBQ surrounded by 21 year olds drinking mixer drinks in true tradition of being young and carefree. I ate and ran (felt rude in doing so) I really needed that ‘sausage sanga’.
Met J. at our local, my local since she moved from the area, but its still ‘our pub’ watched Roosters v Rabbitohs - WE WON! We have been playing so badly, I'm thrilled we beat Souths, not by much, I know we struggled to keep up, c'mon boys - work it! Another couple of Vodka’s under the belt and extremely ‘interesting’ conversation. We’ll be back there on Wednesday to watch the State of Origin with a $6 steak and a bottle of red – CAN’T WAIT! Love the simple pleasures!
I’m feeling the affects of my weekend today – more coffee please! I started my working day with a smile, pleasantly surprised by the most beautiful rose being delivered to the office, what a way to start the week.

And you didn't watch the Eurovision Song Contest?! I got hangovers from both nights...
I already knew the winner :-( Next year...

i.
So did I :(. SBS showed it the night before in their news and a blogger posted the results before it started. Hmph!
i - yep, I got a rose, a beautiful, perfect long stem rose, having a flower on my desk sure does change the day...
cBabe - It's like the Oscars - hush hush! Don't ruin it. Always next year, besides i watched the ever fabulous 'Ghost Whisperer' *blush*
you like the roosters?
the clock hotel is the perfect landmark...'how do I know where it is?'
'it's got a big clock on it, imbecile!'
I've been a roosters girl since i was knee-high-to-a-grasshopper (except for that one year when i was about 12-13 when I thought Balmain Tiger players were cute, I know better now, they are my number 2 team)
Was it you that asked where the clock was or someone asked you? Who knows after the 'social work' comment ;-)
Clearly you made an impression on someone. Good for you. :)
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
er... I have to admit that, the first time, I asked where it was...
who knew?
It's not like there's an actual opera house at the opera house bar, right?
OMG! I was asked where the Opera Bar was!?!?! God help these people.
In all honesty, i had no idea where the clock hotel before my first visit its not a landmark hotel IMHO. The clock isn't Big Ben, the clock in QVB or Central Station :-P
