Had my second blind (blog) "date" this weekend with sweet Helena at The Brisbane where we sat under swaying trees, drank dark ale, ate our nice lunches followed by a dose of op shop browsing. This got me thinking of how these cute internet meetups are kinda like united nations delegates coming together. Each one representing their own (we)blog nation, forging new friendships and exchanging welcoming gifts, giving props to the way each others' lives are being run. Well, at least we(blogs) are doing our bit to make the world a little less ignorant, and getting instant celebrity goss ain't too bad either! (Excuse the tragic analogy, i've been obsessed with finishing my West Wing series). The winter laziness have settled in. I spent saturday night on my couch, watching tv, furiously knitting my new navy scarf in the hope that it will get finished before winter does, and in preparation for what i thought was an indian food fair today, which turned out to be a nice sitdown meal at the Hindu temple serving homecooked masala dosais cooked by the moms and dads. It was delicious! And slightly awkward as it was obvious we only came for the food.
