+ Friday night drinks at Double Bay for Iggy’s farewell, his invitation/instructions for the event:
Step 1). Arrive at The Oaks pub in Double Bay at 5.30.
Step 2). Arrive at bar at 5.31.
Step 3). Down seventh beer at 5.41.
Step 4). 5.45 Meet willing (and unwitting) female and serenade her.
Step 5). 5.45.30 Receive slap in the face and a knee in the jugglers delights for trying to serenade her.
Step 6). Time undetermined. Walk home alone (again).
Background to Iggy: I went on a couple of dates with him April 2005, I was swept off my feet by ‘cute navy boy’, went overseas for 6 weeks and didn’t see him again. THEN when I was retrenched late last year the temp role I got over Christmas / New Year was at his office. The world does get smaller, cute navy boy was one of the offices tenants.
+ My inadvertent Seinfeldinisim: Iggy asked me to scratch an itch and as you would guess, he did a ‘Kramer’ dance!
+ A very late dinner at a pizzeria, hungry, starving, a kiss on both cheeks from the owner, he was a customer many moons ago when I was working at *whispers* Franklins while I was at school; he also knocked $20 off the bill!
+ A revelation occurred towards the end of dinner – I must set up R with Iggy! It would either be the best set up in history or Chernobyl.
+ I received a greeting from a dear friend, I called immediately on receipt of message saying ‘do you want to have a hot chocolate?’ she was excitable (as excitable as you can get for a hot chocolate in winter) I then said ‘damn I don’t have me car’ – yep, drunkity, drunk, drunk. If I couldn’t remember I didn’t have my car with me is a real sign I shouldn’t be driving any car.
+ Being woken up bright and early from a text message when I’ve had a big night is not something I enjoy
+ Running late to an auction on Saturday morning speeding through Sydney’s suburbs talking on the phone with what I could imagine my blood alcohol being over the limit from the night before – with double demerits in force. I made it to the auction as the auctioneer was calling last bids.
+ Having a spur of the moment lunch at Danny’s La Perouse with V. and Mez where 2 girls were wearing bibs for lunch, fantastic hearty seafood chowder for me...Yum.
+ Blowing your entire long weekend spending money on one lunch was totally worth it :-P
+ Getting a new mobile phone and the first phone call is from someone who isn’t saved yet and having to ask ‘who’s speaking?’ and pretend it’s bad reception.
+ I told my former BB he is no longer allowed to see he’s new girlfriend because ‘you can only have one in your life!’
+ Introducing my dear friend to one of my favourite ‘50’s movies and she liked it!
+ Dancing around the kitchen cooking dinner:
- It’s raining men – The Weather Girls
- Jeremiah was a bull frog (Joy to the World) - Three Dog Night
+ Sending the first text message from my new phone and finding out the ‘clear’ button on my old phone is now the ‘send’ button – I hate mobile phones!
+ People asking the spec’s of my phone – can I make and receive phone calls and text messages? Yes. That’s all I care about! (Can you see my hate for mobile phones?)
+ Not getting out of my PJ’s until 2.30pm on Sunday – YAY!
+ Having a cry when I found a note left on my car, I didn’t have a goodbye hug from my dearest friend before she went away because she didn’t have her mobile and my house bell isn’t working
+ 3 course dinner at Dad’s place on Sunday night, started at 5.00pm entrée: creamy chicken, mushroom and white wine in a puff pastry shell. Main: the most delicious steak with béarnaise sauce, sautéed spinach with potato and onion bake. Dessert: crème caramel. And we went through 2 bottles of red wine. (Daddy used to be a chef in the late ‘70’s early ‘80’s, the man can cook!)
+ My dad still has a photo up of me with my ex-boyfriends arms around me up on his mantel. If it was my last boyfriend I’ll suggest laziness but it was Dom, we broke up 3 and a half years ago! He told me he used to take the photo down every time my last boyfriend and I would come over for dinner!
+ Mother dearest giving me the silent treatment on Monday morning and criticising me for ‘reading in my room’ for most of the morning. I worked it out later that she would’ve been upset about me having dinner at dad’s place meaning dad’s girlfriend would be there… It’s been 23 years – GET OVER IT!
+ Dinner and DVD’s at V and R’s place on Sunday evening, my new home away from home (after my local pub that is)
+ Going to a “World Cup Party” at N’s place (the cool kids) and screaming obscenities at the television – the ref was being paid, so many bad calls! Australia winning! Priceless!
+ Being stuck in city traffic for 45 minutes at 1.30- 2.00am on a Monday night due to street parties.
+ Still wide awake when I got home, I settled in to watch Czech Republic win 3-0
+ I’m coming second in our fantasy football competition! UPDATE! I'm FIRST!

Sounds brilliant...I cooked a roast dinner for the LLs, we watched DVDs, walked in the rain (puddles), read books, baked a cake and generally veged out. I watched Aus V Nippon in the wee hours and glad I stayed up till the end :)
Heh. Maybe your Dad just thinks it's a nice photo? I have one or two ex-photos floating around the place which I can't bear to take down simply because they're damn good photos (emotional attachment aside).
Sounds like you had a good weekend. ;-) Waking up and saying, "Dude, where's my car?" is always an indication of a good weekend! Hahaha.
I want to hear more about this lunch that you spent all your money on... what was the deal, yo?
Scorpy - Okay, this is sad, the DVD we watched was 'singin' in the rain' your post tickled my funny bone ;-)
SO happy the socceroos came through. How bad was the ref?!?! Did you watch any of the Czech game? It was awesome (I really needed coffee this morning)
Tim - I'm going to give dad some photos of us on holiday - big hint to replace! Too many occasions I've wondered how I got home - bad Nat, bad.
Cibby - We went to Danny's at La Perouse, yummy food and a bottle of wine on the tight budget I gave myself for the long weekend...
Sounds like a brilliant weekend! How are you holding up today? :P
PS I haven't been to Danny's for years after I was disappointed with the quality/service. Must check it out again...
long weekends are fantastic!!
it's a pity i spent the majority of mine studying or renovating a mates place!!
i.
I'm doing okay, 2 coffee's and a couple of chocolates are seeing me through ;-)
Danny's isn't as good as it used to be, the company and doing the unplanned made it special.
i - studying, not a fan - renovating, its all worth it in the long run ;-)
