Of chocolate and coffee

This weekend was quite exciting! I've come home with sooo many bruises all over me...

Went up to Spring Hill for Easter Working Bee fun with the family. It rained most the time which was actually lovely, and we relaxed and enjoyed the cool crisp weather, and got fat on good food and lots of chocolate. I was originally going to go home Monday, but Sunday night Nicholas went back to Sydney so he could move Monday, and asked me to go with him to help. So I did, and it was lucky I did because it took a while for the people who said they'd help to actually get there to help (and one piked). So it was me and Nicholas' brother and Nicholas and their mother packing and moving and stuff, and we got it all done in 2 hours, which isn't too bad!

The new house is really cool, a 1 bedroom apartment right in the heart of Mosman, and literally 15 seconds walk from a wonderful Italian-run coffee shop which makes just awesome coffee! And there are real Italians that show up and sing along with the baristas and it's just awesome. They do a great jam donut too ("bombe"? I think they call it).

Definitely going to be going there a lot! Nicholas needs more "stuff" though. 4 noodle bowls, a wok, wine glasses, and a rice cooker do not a kitchen make, no matter what he says!

4 bowls? Wine glasses? Pretty ritzy... I've got a pot and pan, 2 plates and a couple of regular glasses, am borrowing cutlery from flatmates.

What gives, didn't Nicholas only move a couple of months ago? Or is this the same place and he's just a slow mover?

Yeah, he moved again, due to his housemate (although being a lovely person and we'll miss her and her cats) having somewhat odd hours and the walls in the house being paper thin leading to Nicholas not getting enough sleep.

And as for your lack of "stuff"... well! Maybe it's just cos I'm a big girly girl but I like a reasonably well-stocked kitchen ;P

Far out! Another move? Poor Nick. :(

Sounds like he needs a housewarming party!

I don't know. I think the lack of stuff lends it a certain austerity. Otherwise, I completely agree. Very cool place. :-)

Sounds like a pretty well-stocked kitchen to me. Are there chopsticks? Or I guess you could do the south-Asian eating with your fingers thing. That works.
