Bonnie Raitt concert
Yes yes this time I dogged Cat to go see a concert with Phil. I know I know. At least you got to have escargots with Ron Weasley ;)
Bonnie Raitt is an American country and blues singer, very famous in the states, more famous with the older generation of Aussies, and whom are interested in country and blues. I was very worried that Phil would be bored out of his mind *shrugs* but he listens to Simon and Garfunkel so I reckon I'm safe. I love listening to that kinda bluesy music, great for dancing, shame we didn't :( And she sung my favourite song in the encore (yays!) "I can't make you love me" (quite a depressing song, about a couple, the husband has fallen out of love with his wife, and the wife is singing, "just give me this night to let you go" to give up trying to make him love her. Very sad :( for some reason my favourite songs are all quite depressing...).
Anyways that was at Revesby Workers' Club, I know I know.
So Happy belated Easter everyone! Hope you had a good holiday, tonight's my last night of my longed-for 4 day weekend. Wooot! Really don't wanna go back tomorrow morning, but I have to dammit.
Had a roast lunch with the Morrins on Sunday, very nice, mentioned my change of plans for the future. I really have to stop releasing information about myself, it's dangerous very dangerous.
Bean's Holiday **1/2
For the people who've watched Mr. Bean growing up, another one of those movies, some people will hate it, some people will enjoy it, some people won't even consider seeing it. Cringeworthy in some moments (as it is Mr. Bean), and wildly unlikely, but it's a movie for all ages.
Lunch with Cat today, ugh wagamama, Jap food for westerners, ugh. Then went shopping in Kinokuniya and Abbeys and sat around Darling Harbour watching little kids play bumper paddleboats. Then back up to the Tea Room, Traditional arvo tea now bumped up to $30, now with lounge chairs and little coffee tables in the middle of the room, with the side tables and brown chairs still in its usual spots. Mmm... Assam tea is goooood, they now serve the tea in silver pots and much nicer tea sets rather than just plain white. Egg sandwiches, ham and mustard sandwiches (which I got to eat all of), raspberry profiteroles, chocolate brownie, sultana crumble cake, passionfruit cream sandwichy thing, strawberry tart, cheese and spinach pastry and of course a big fat scone with cream and jam. Mmmm... sooo full right now. Then a little shopping in Crabtree and Evelyn. Mmmm... I smell like *sniff* winter birch, *sniff* milk & honey, *sniff* olive, almond and myrtle.
We have find a time to go Yum Cha together, Phil has never been to (nor heard of Yum Cha... I know, I know...). He's making a great effort though, he's had mango, broccoli, gelati, strawberries, dolmades, tomatoes, ratatouille, fish since we started dating. Lift up your jaws ladies, no hanging to the ground.
By the way, my roster (to be amended apparently MY BUTT) sucks crap next month, if it remains the same, I get to go to Bible Study twice, I get to go to morning church, I miss out on girlfriend duty (Phil wanted me to go to his mate's 21st), BUT I MISS OUT PHIL'S GRADUATION!!! I'm gonna be put on night shift, you bastards!! 2130 to 0730, that means I'd have to drive over the Parra campus, stay awake for at least 6 more hours, then head home, shower, crash, and wake up at 2030, have dinner and head to work. Bastards! I might take sick leave that Wednesday night, go to Phil's graduation Thursday morning, then work on Thursday night. They better bloody amend this roster.
