Peaches, No Cream

I've had a pretty good weekend, much better than my Friday anyways. Friday night I knocked over a bottle of wine and stumbled around Carindale listening to my iPod and smoking. Good times. When I finally made it home a read a little then crashed out.

I awoke Saturday morning feeling fresh and ready to take on the weekend. I had a plan and I was going to stick to it. This meant that I was straight into the jobs so I wouldn't have to worry about them later. I folded about a million shirts, I washed several loads of clothes, I stacked and unstacked the dishwasher, I threw out a whole heap of shit, I organised and redistributed things, I was a busy motherfucker. My room was now tidy as was all of downstairs. Dirty Dave helped with the downstairs which was good.

Once everything was done I jumped in the car and headed over to pick up Ria. We drove down to the coast and met my Dad. I had a cup of tea with him and then he headed home, and Ria and I went for Sushi Train. I've been eating that pretty regularly in the past month. It's like I've rediscovered it, so that's cool. Afterwards we had a bit of a lay down and whatever.

That night Ria and I headed up to Surfer's to meet some old friends of Ria's. They were fun people, with the girl 7 months pregnant. She still swore like a sailor, which is always fun. We had some trouble getting a bite to eat in Broadbeach but we ended up scoring some Italian type stuff. Broadbeach has changed a great deal in the last 3 years. And is continuing to change at a very rapid pace. There's a really interesting building going up at the moment. It's called The Wave and it's certainly different.

Much of the dinner was spent discussing babies and marriages and things. It was okay. I didn't freak. I held it together. Actually, it doesn't really worry me too much anymore, it's something that I figure will happen to me one day and that I shouldn't be too concerned about it. Not that I ever really was.

Today has been a lovely day. Even though it's May now the weather was still warm. We took a walk up the beach to Burleigh and after two venues telling us we were too late, managed to find some breakfast. I had some mushrooms which were fantastic. I've got a lot of time for mushrooms these days.

The rest of the day was pretty lazy. I'm trying to buy some new sunglasses, but with a head like mine it's kind of tough to find a pair that suits me. I'll get there in the end. Unfortunately the cross eyed girl wasn't working in the sunglass store today. She's a lovely girl, but talking to her can be slightly unnerving.
