Sidoney

Headed to Sydney for Sunday birthday drinks to celebrate Mim's 30th. It was a lovely afternoon/evening, however I should have eaten more than a bowl of gelati. But it was a huge bowl of gelati. And it was free, sort of. I took a bottle of wine to my gelati man to say thank you for all the free gelati he gives me. So he gave me a bowl of gelati - the meringue gelati was a pleasant surprise. Does this now mean I owe him more wine? Ah the dilemers of receiving free stuff. Dad's suffering from the same issues - he recently sent a customer a free 6 pack - with a requested delivery, because he is ordering so much of our wine. But today he received another order and now wonders if the free 6 pack will be expected. I think not.

Anyway back to the weekend. It started quietly enough, Friday night I was at the vineyard, Saturday Xanthe came back from Griffith, Saturday afternoon I drove to Sydney and had a quiet evening (what is with the quiet weekends?) with Boppa and Nanna. Sunday I tried to find some warm clothes (I hate shopping), visited my cousin - which coincidently was his daughters birthday - she thought I was visiting for her birthday.... wish I had remembered then I would have taken a present.... oh well. I then headed to Newtown and had aforementioned gelati. My gelati man told me he loved me. Arriving on time meant I got to catch up with Mim and Chris and Matt at The Bank before everyone else arrived. On Monday I drove back to the vineyard. Not a very long trip, quiet short really for a ll the driving involved, but it was great to get away.
