Monty's Miscellaneous Musings...

Firstly, it seems to be International-Meander-Slowly-Down-The-Street-Day today. Walking around at lunchtime was highly irritating, with everyone seemingly intent on wandering all over the footpaths, stopping at random occasions and just generally being as slow as possible. Drove me INSANE! Can't these people move over to one side to allow those of us who actually have somewhere to go, get there in the most time efficient manner possible???

Anyway, I purchased a couple of lovely shirts and a gorgeous tie from DJ's today...part of my little bonus splurge...the bulk of it I've been sensible and saved, but I did allow me a small amount to blow on whatever I felt like (plus an allowance to blow on my gorgeous McBrad).

I've also read that it's going to be 24 degrees Celcius and sunny on the weekend - it's almost summer weather! How fabulous is that going to be! I can't wait - it's practically beach weather. It's rather exciting actually...I was just thinking that I've not enjoyed an entire spring in Sydney for several years, having been in the UK/Europe for Sept/Oct of the last couple of years...in 2006 for "Monty's Shagging Tour of Europe" and 2007 which was basically "Monty's International Bloggers Meets" (and a few shags thrown in for fun - errr, not with the bloggers...just some random British boys). Anyway, it will be lovely to enjoy the change from the bare trees to the first buds (already happening) to the full blown bright zesty green leaves. I can't wait.

My brother Mark rang me from London yesterday...he and Sim are flying out Christmas day and will arrive Boxing Day morning and so we'll be having a slightly delayed Christmas down at the beach house which will be fantastic. But what he was ringing about was NYE. He wanted to know what we were doing, if we were going to one of the big dance parties, where we'll watch the fireworks from etc. The thing is, I couldn't really tell him what I was going to do as I need to talk to McBrad first. It was the first time that I couldn't just commit to something as I would've done 6 months ago. I don't mind, let me hasten to add, it's just different now that I'm one half of a couple. I'll have to chat to McBrad and see if he has thought about it, and we'll need to come to a decision as a couple. It's kinda nice actually.

So there's the few things that have been on my mind.

Spring part II...

Forgot to mention in the previous post...

I went to David Jones yesterday at lunchtime (their Castlereagh St store). It's their Spring Flower Festival and seriously, go and have a look (if you live in Sydney). It is gorgeous! The theme this year is "A riot of colour" and it is - magnificent arrangements of orchids and oriental lillies, with parrots perched on the branches! Exotic and amazing. When the florists were given the job, they must have wet themselves with delight at the sheer scale of it, let alone the theme. Wonderful.

TGIF...

It's Friday and thank goodness to that! It's been an up and down week so I'm glad that there's only 3 or 4 hrs to go and it's all over! Thankfully, my gums have settled down nicely...though silly me decided to celebrate (and I was also just being plain lazy) by purchasing KFC last night for dinner! OUCH! Note to self: Stick with the softer foods for another couple of days.

Tonight, I have my one-per-week allocated date-with-a-new-guy so I'm excited! I like this new dating paradigm! After my slutty weekend, I'm back on track...he he he!

Yesterday, I decided to wander down to David Jones', my favourite store. You know, DJ's to me is like Tiffany's to Holly Golightly - if I could, I'd grab a takeaway coffee and croissant and window shop there every morning! It's just a lovely place to be! I actually was there last Thursday - extremely stressful day, needed to punch something really hard, so instead hit DJ's - what a way to work off stress! And work up some serious credit card points! LOL. Anyway, I did have a purpose in going to DJ's yesterday...I had in mind tracking down a certain hot young Kiwi that I met on my trashy Saturday night out...he mentioned that he worked there. Another note to self: Next time, ask which department he works in! Trawled up and down the escalators, but there's so many sales assistants there, it's impossible! Hmmmm, will have to attack this another way! Now, just to work out how precisely I'm going to attack this another way! ???

Anyway, a minor glitch. Tonight should be good fun - this one is a teacher so the conversation should be interesting and varied at least! Anything more than that will be just a bonus! ha ha!

Have a great weekend everyone!
