Good Company

This week has been a good one. I was finally well enough to go places and so we did. Monday night was date night so Daz and I went to the Macarthur Tavern, a fairly new place with decent food less than 10 minutes away. I had a veal risotto and I really can't remember what the Dazzler had as I was too busy devouring my own which to my dismay I couldn't finish because we'd ordered an antipasto starter plate for old times sake.

Antipasto- the zucchini component was my favourite and its oil was a great bread dipper

We finished off the evening at the movies to see Johnny English. I love Bean (Rowan Atkinson) and he was funny but I wouldn't write home about this movie.

On Tuesday night, we went into the Shire for dinner at the Gymea Bay Hotel with friends and then dessert at Nulla Nulla in Cronulla. We really enjoyed catching up with old friends. We didn't have any kidlets tagging along so the conversation flowed (something that is not possible with a Noah and Flynn in tow).

On Wednesday, I met up with another good friend, we ate at Turkoise and despite them having changed hands since I last visited, the Turkish food was as good, possibly better than last time. We chose from the tapas, eating a selection of both the hot and the cold. Afterwards and without time restrictions for a change, we wandered around the shops and bought a couple of little trinkets for ourselves.

On Thursday night, I went out with yet another old friend in the Shire yet again at the INC. Cafe in Cronulla. A very funky setting, another newish establishment and the prosciutto pizza accompanied by rocket and cherry tomatoes was great. But better yet, the company was fantastic, a lot of reminiscing, a lot of laughs, a few glasses of bubbly thrown in the mix and the type of conversation where there is so much to be said and shared that the earlier concern that it may have been slightly stilted or with possible awkward silent moments, it just slipped away into oblivion.

Every moment I shared with these people this week was fulfilling, it was definitely a week I needed and I'm glad the Dazzler was able to benefit too on his second and last week of the holidays with both our date night and our friend catch up earlier in the week.

P.S., Peeps! Everyone is currently well in this house, we have some fun times planned for the week/s ahead.
