Friday, 19 September 2008

yes, i know it's not friday but there's such thing as retrospective writing. i'll try not to get carried away and write sunday's post next.

so i worked yesterday but only for half the day or so, i was feeling super sick and could barely stand. i feared the worst for my date that night but after a bit of a rest and a shower i was up for it.

i didn't really take any photos, here's one of theo on our way back home.



he looks glum, maybe the night didn't go as well as i thought it did hahah.

we went to lucky's for dinner then freestyle for dessert, now that i think about it, why'd we never go to freestyle? it's delicious. then we went to some club to see his friend. then home. i kind of just collapsed and fell asleep within five minutes of getting home =, not very romantic but i was feeling sick earlier that day. whatever.

i wore that dress i wore when we went out to dinner in sydney, the italian place (coincidence!). the black shiny bubble dress, you know the one. and about five necklaces. and my zipper socks and your new favourite shoes.

i said we're going to freestyle for our anniversary every month, there's twelve things on the menu so he's locked in to this relationship for the next year hahah. i should choose the best one for the one year mark, we had the flourless chocolate cake last night. the menu's seasonal anyway, whatever.

White Chocolate Raspberry Brioche Dumplings with chocolate dipping sauce, berries & chocolate ice cream

it's a dessert restaurant, that's all they do. do you even read what i write? geeze, half a dessert a month isn't going to kill me.

p.s. you used the wrong desert/dessert. who's doing the phd now? dessert has two Ss because you always want more!

p.p.s why fly me over there when we could both fly to melbourne or sydney? we need a melbourne apartment.

of course i read everything you write, but you did not say anywhere that freestyle was only for desSerts. thanks for the spelling tip. that is a good idea, for us to meet up in melbourne (although it's J territory. we don't have to buy apartments everywhere, there's such a thing as hotels you know. anyway, wld we get to use it? dad doesn't like losing rent, we might get to go places more often if we're free to use hotels.

hotels!

i don't even remember the last time i stayed in a hotel. we had high tea in a hotel, but before that i don't even remember being in one. maybe when we were at the whitsundays. wish you were coming over with dad.
