tea time

For my birthday I was promised a high tea with a lovely lady. I can't wait!

Where in Melbourne shall we go? The last high tea I had was in Auckland at the Langham, it was lovely and grand, with men in tailcoats and gloves pouring our tea, and gaggles of ladies lunching.

Today has so far been a lovely start to the week, despite what might actually be a slight hangover and some bad late for work dreams this morning...

I am eating the most delicious, flaky, crisp on the outside soft on the inside french pastry - an escargot from Monsieur Truffe on Smith St. It was a reward for the lateness being only a dream and a consolation for the hangover, and half of it is now embarassingly adorning the front of my dress.

I've just watched these two videos which both made me very happy. The one above I found on We Love You So and below is via The Debonaire, who's also posted this trailer which looks funny!

speaking of SXSW

If you're there, go see my ex-flatmate, Graham, play in the Ruby Suns, and his co-conspirator, Hayden, play in Lawrence Arabia. They're good, I promise!

PS. Have included Graham's music video for his band, Panther and the Zoo, on the off-chance one of our readers is a music industry big wig (one who chews on cigars and finishes sentences with "seee?")who thinks that these guys have "a great sound" and should be flying on jet planes surrounded by mountains of the white stuff with babes in bikinis.

PPS. That is my old flat he's typing in. Farewell, dampest house in Kingsland.
