Can you believe on Sunday I was in such a delicate situation I couldn’t stomach a cup of tea until 9pm? True fact.
It all began with a bunch of friends flying down to Melbourne to surprise my cousin who’d moved back from the UK. I got the callup for a drink or two in the afternoon, and off I trotted that night, determined to bypass that bit where this happened last time and I got home at 4am.
Cut to Sunday morning and I’m getting friendly with nothing but a box of Nurofen and a heat pack because somehow I now cannot dance without my body just straight up quitting. Apparently it’s not only my face that’s falling apart, it’s …. everything else too. Oy.
I emerged from my stupor (barely) to visit Smith and Deli and bought basically half the shop before they’d even been open 10 minutes. You can read about how much I love Mo and Shannon in yesterday’s Kickass Chicks post, and how much I love their food next week when I write about exactly how many times I died looking at their wares on the weekend. Another home run, of course, and I woke up the next day thinking I must have been more hungover than I thought that I didn’t even think to try the handmade vegan mozzarella my friend bought.
And yes, that is the UK version of House of Cards I was watching up there – whoa, what a show! There aren’t many episodes, and I love British political thrillers (hell, any political thriller really) but I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF. I tried to give myself the afternoon off on Friday, but I have so much travel coming up I needed to pack in some extra work. But Sunday afternoon at about 5pm I finally admitted defeat and got into my electric-blanket heated bed with my laptop and another heat pack (and possibly a container of olives from Smith and Deli) and watched until my eyes nearly fell out of my head.
Today Bigs and I are off to an event in Sydney, headed to Taronga Zoo to watch Dragons: Race to the Edge, which is a new Netflix original TV series (speaking of, has anyone watched BoJack Horseman? I saw an ad for it the other day and couldn’t stop laughing. Next on my list). She doesn’t even know, so I can’t wait to see the look on her face when I tell her we’re catching a plane today, just her and me!
Meanwhile I should actually pack. I may be very last minute, but I seem to always get it done. Are you a last-minute packer too?
I love British thrillers too, oh and the US House of Cards…really great drama…I’ll see you tonight…have a good flight (I can’t pack last minute – although I’m getting closer to that, used to be weeks before , now its days…) x
Haha I’m terrible. I find when I packed early I always ended up having to take stuff out. So now it’s last-minute, and I still survive! I should probably find a better balance.
The US House of Cards is so rad! I’ve been watching it with my husband… very slowly… haha. Still on season one.
Will be great to meet you!
You don’t want to see any of my recipes. Ever. It would make you lose your faith in humanity.
Can you buy me a bucket of chips then? that’ll do.
I think I am going to try out BoJack Horseman too. We have just watched the season of Unbreakable. Hilarious!! Enjoy Sydney and Taronga.
Now that Game of Thrones is over and Masterchef is making me too hungry I may well have to get on the Netflix Train. Bon voyage!
MasterChef is the only thing I cheat on Netflix with, haha
I nearly needed the tiny white bag as I landed from Melb to Bris on Sunday, it wasn’t pretty. Maybe if I had thrown some awkward shapes on the dance floor I wouldn’t have felt so ill! x
Ha I need one now after that Sydney trip
We’ve had Bojack in our list for a bit- must get around to watching it! I LOVE surprising the kids- that look of excitement? The fervour? Never gets dull. Enjoy. x
Do! It’s stupid but funny
Hope you and Bigs have a great time…………………sounds like fun!
We had a ball. Thanks Tina!
A movie at Taronga Zoo? That sounds awesome. Hope you had a blast. xx
We did! great view 😉
Marshall loves BoJack, he made me watch it, hilarious!!!
I actually can’t stop watching it now!
