Along with BrownPants, SadieandLance and a bunch of other friends, Friday night formally farewelled the lovely Shazmina Bendi who is going to live in London for a year...or two...and then meet Lord Looks-like-Mr-Darcy and move to live in his castle in Wales right near Colinette. As Shazmina is a huge Elvis fan, the venue was Elvis Pizza on Bayswater Road at Rushcutter's Bay. All you can eat pizza, pasta, salad and garlic bread, followed by a live Elvis show. Just make sure you finish your pizza quick smart because Elvis is the pizza cook! (or something...) It was TOPS!
Saturday the lovely Bells came to Sydney to visit, so we made a day of it and caught up with Shazmina and BrownPants again (boy, I was just a bit seedy...oh dear), Nora and Donni. We bought buttons, had many coffees (and in my case, a bacon and egg roll for lunch...mmmm hangover food) and had a great chat.
Home so Bells and I could exchange our anniversary gifts (why yes, we are a pair of gumbies!). Here is my loot:
A rose red tea cup! A red metal bucket/yarn container! Cookie cutters! and mmmmmmmmmMalabrigo! Two skeins in Sealing Wax...you can only see one, because after our dinner on Saturday night, Bells and I had a Kooltime Kasting on our Koolhaases using our Kmalabrigo (Bells' is Vermillion, mine is Sealing Wax)! In fact, Bells enjoyed it so much, she ended up casting on 3 times (whoops...)
Lovely lovely weekend, thanks Bells and Donni for driving up to Sydney to visit, thanks Bells for lovely gifts and WILL MISS YOU SHAZMINA! Good luck lovey, you will have the best time and I am very envious of you!
