Restaurant of the week

Spotted on my way out of Marrickville last night, a new restaurant called:

"Goat Meat Restaurant"

Not a word of a lie - the sign has some chinese characters above it and then this delightfully straight talking translation below. Needless to say it wasn't exactly heaving with punters when I drove past.

Truly a vegetarians delight.

the difference between men and women

This morning - 8am

Me: bleary eyed, dressed in pj's, hair a mess, clutching Ivy as I watch the telly showing a report on the Australian Premiere of Sex and the City movie at Fox Studios. I watch a bevvy of tv and movie a and b listers prance about drinking cosmos, dressed to the nines and raving about the movie with envy wondering why I never get to go to fun events like that anymore.

Ed: wandering past towelling his hair. "Oh we could have gone to that last night. I had tickets."

Me: open mouthed.............speechless..............

Ed: looking scared...."I, err didn't think we did things like that anymore so I said no"

Me: ........................... mouth even wider............still speechless

Ed: "oops, was that wrong? Sorry......." Gets on bike and heads quickly to work.

Me: ............................... gaping..........................still speechless...four hours later....................
