Two Dates and a Group of Mates

Four days at work zipped by quickly after the long weekend at Wilsons Prom. I had to pull together and organise some filming for a corporate video quite quickly which involved getting people to places with permission and we even did some of it at our apartment. Hard work but fun.

Friday came round quickly and it seems like it was ages ago that I had set the date with Kim but how fast days pass by! I finished work promptly and had time for a couple of vodkas before heading to meet Kim. We had such a fun evening giggling away whilst seated at the sushi bar. A mojito each and a bottle of wine each certainly helped conversation flow. After dinner we had espresso martinis before heading home.

It's been in warm in Melbourne the last few weeks with temperatures over 30. Our air con broke last weekend which didn't matter too much as we were away but Monday night was horrible. We even tried to buy a fan but they'd sold out! I slept with an ice pack under each arm!

Saturday was spent recovering from the night before and then followed by another fun evening this time with Ling, Noah and Stef. We had dinner in Camberwell followed by dessert at a frozen yoghurt place. We stopped to admire a gorgeous sunset en route to dessert. The girls were on good form as always and the boys just put up with our inane chatter about men, Valentines Day, make up and fashion.

It's only 3 weeks until our 3 week trip back home! It has come round so soon and we're really excited. Between now and then we have lots on - dinners, catch ups, Melbourne Food and Wine Festival... When Steve and I go out we talk a lot about this trip. My second date this weekend was with Steve and we had a lovely Sunday lunch in a cute courtyard in Fitzroy.

Amelia is beginning to experiment with food and she's definitely a Chinese baby as she goes mad for rice! Here she is enjoying bread for the first time.

    We are Steve and Minda and we've been given the opportunity to move to Melbourne for two years. We arrived November 2010 and passed that two year milestone and are now Australian citizens! This is a blog of our experiences as we move to this new country, settle in and have fun!
