My 3rd week is complete! This week was busy at work but great. My friend and colleague Stephanie had her baby early - Clementine Ava. Couldn't you just die with that name?! I adore it. So happy mum and baby are healthy.
I happened upon an adorable wine bar on Tuesday night. Its just around the corner from my pad, and its perfect. Great music (think Depeche Mode, Morcheeba, the Fray mixed), GREAT food, small and intimate. The bartender, Sam, is so nice; she is way cool and a great pour (maybe too good given I had a headache for 2 days afterwards)! She intends to take me through their wine and cocktails list, one by one. I met Jeff as well, who edits fashion photography. We talked for hours, and of course scooped on models and fashion and photoediting. I loved every second and am excited to hang at Sydney fashion week (with sample sales, natch) in May. I went back to the wine bar tonight. Had an amazing thing they called "sashima nachos". Tuna and whitefish sashima, with corn, creme fraiche, green chilis, caviar and a light vinagerette with toasted french bread crostini. yum!
I actually bought myself a ticket to the Madame Butterfly ballet at the Sydney Opera House for tomorrow night. It opened today and is essentially sold out for its 3 week run. They had 1 seat left for tomorrow night, so I grabbed it. When in Rome.....and yes, Tammy, apparently people do go there for shows!
It's turning to autumn here, but will still be 80 degrees tomorrow so I may venture over to the famous Bondi Beach. A ferry ride from the Sydney Harbour, a pitstop at Watson's Bay for fish & chips and a day at the beach is not half bad, if I do say so myself.
I'm homesick this week but getting excited for Bali in 2 weeks! Where should I go next? New Zealand, Thailand or the Great Barrier Reef? Opinions and suggestions welcomed!
Add that wine bar to the To Dos when Tammy is there + beach!
