Christina and I did more nesting this weekend (hehe). Valentines day rules out any riding in any case, not to mention the crappy weather.
On Saturday we checked out the plethora of designery interior shops in Surry Hills. Rugs at $4,000, lamp shades at $750 (on sale too). Hey we didn’t buy any of it but it’s always nice to drool and dream.
We caught up with my good mate Liz (Happy B’day Liz!) and she took us to The Book Kitchen in Surry Hills, an awesome little cafe that reminded me a lot of Melbourne.
Suga and Liz.
Oven baked Spanish eggs!
The day was pretty successful as we scored an Aeron chair for Christina from Living Edge who really looked after us on the price, and a nice little bin too (slowly but surely!). The Ikea desk is already bowing in the centre so I’ll be refunding that this week.
Speaking of Valentines Day: I had no fucking idea what Valentines is all about. I asked Chrisinta and she said something along the lines of “you know, St Valentines?” and that was the extent of it. Liz said the same thing. I did some Google on it and there were a lot of references to this St. Valentines, and apparently many saints were called Saint Valentine back then, it’s all a bit confusing (the info that is) but I gather that it’s got something to do with some nice saint who helped to pass on love letters between two people who weren’t meant to be seeing each other, or something like that (now it’s sounding like Romeo and Juliet?!).
Anyways, Suga and I are falling into this pattern where one of us drives, and the other gets drunk. So for Valentines we booked in to our local restaurant, the Pool Cafe, we walked there and after a great meal and nice bottle of Momo (NZ wine!) we stumbled home. Perfect!
