Weekend burrito

Well here’s the long weekend wrap.

Things I loved this weekend:
– Hanging out at Newtown
– Badass truckie’s breakfast
– My new skate deck
– Daylight savings kicked in
– Fishing session out at the Hawkesbury River

Things I hated:
– Shitty weather
– Didn’t go for a ride
– Missed the MotoGP on TV
– My bike threads on Farkin Forum have gone to shit

Christina my Mum and I spent a day looking at Kitchen Appliances and bathroom fittings on Saturday. Damn my mum’s a trooper. Christina and I would have been out of there in 10 minutes flat if she wasn’t there, she just forced us to soldier on and at the end of the day we got a pretty good idea of what we need/want/might be getting for the new house rennovations (which start soon… I hope). The amount of money that’s going to be needed in order to get everything we want is scaring me a fair bit but I’m trying my best to be positive.

Saturday night we went to a house party in Newtown and mid way we ended up going for a stroll down to King St. Newtown was buzzing, shops were open and I was just loving the vibe. I’m just so glad Newtown’s still cool.

Clockwise from left to right: Christina, Blake, Christine, Shaun and myself.

Haha. The thing’s you do when you’re drunk.

Guzman Y Gomez at Newtown – I’d been meaning to try out this joint since I did a talk at Raffles College where one of the other speakers that night had designed this shop’s ID. After reading a good review on Mark’s blog I was determinded to get some in at the very next opportunity. What better a way to absorb some of that piss with a burrito?! It was damn awesome especially with some of their special sauce.

Kuletos are known for their cocktails and was an old happy hour haunt of mine years ago. Suga had a legless cocktail, we recommend!

Sunday was a bit of a nothing day, sleep in, brekkie, shopping and a movie (The Dutchess – slow, but surprisingly AOK.).

Seedy morning truckie’s breakfast.

My new deck which I’ll be building up and skating on (IE: this one’s not for the wall), the kids at SDS Bondi looked after me.

Awesome!

Domo-kun.

Random bike geek shot.

And today we spent the day out at the Hawkesbury River, fishing was attempted, but nothing was caught. I didn’t expect anything in any case as the weather was pretty strange (sunny one minute pissing down the next). We had a feast and a nice walk along the coast. The place reminds me of Sandon, in that it’s so remote and so fishing oriented. I loved the run down little shack of a house. I’m definitely the kind of person who can settle down in a place like this.

The house. A short boat ride to get there.
