Weekend in the City
17 May 2009, 18:10
Fab weekend – had our groovy ex-Tokyo (now Melbourne-based) friends Kat, Daz and Jake over for dinner on Saturday night – they crashed on our sofa bed after imbibing one too many Sidecars (me having basically no impulse control when it comes to lemon, triple sec and brandy) and introducing them to Absolute Balderdash – our absolute fave board game. They were both amazing bullshitters. We were impressed.
We dragged them out for Brunch this morning (it was really hard…) at Pearl Oyster, our new local retro cafe and this afternoon McG and I went to see Star Trek, thanks to wonderful local friends who babysat Scout. Sigh. Friends. Good.
I actually thought Star Trek was fabulous – I’m not a Trekkie at all, haven’t seen a single episode or movie, but I don’t think you needed to be a die-hard to get into it. I enjoyed it much more than I expected. It was cute, big-budget escapism and that’s what I needed today.
We haven’t done much social butterflying during the past few months as I always feel tired and can’t be bothered (nana naps taking priority), but I think I’m turning a bit of a corner in terms of being able to entertain beyond 8 pm.
Good to be back on the wagon…
