AMY.

Yesterday marked one year since Amy Whinehouse'e death. I was living in London when she passed away, and the atmosphere in London when she died was dismal. The day of her funeral a couple of my friends and I went to her home in Camden, basically to have a look around etc.

Here is a pic of one of the many signs around Camden covered in graffiti with messages and poems to Amy.

That Little Mexican Place

Last night was my good friend Adrian's birthday. I met Adrian while living in London and since both moving back to Perth we have gotten rather close.

The boyfriend met me straight after work and we went to the Aviary for some wine and waited for our friend Sarah to arrive (Sarah & I also lived in London together, and did a bit of travelling around Europe together). After a bottle of red we jumped in a cab and off we went to Adrian's birthday dinner.

We went to That Little Mexican Place (http://tlmp.com.au/) on Fitzgerald Street in North Perth. There were about 12 of us all there to celebrate Adrian's birthday. We ordered the banquet which consisted of 5 courses! First we had guacamole (it was to die for, I love guacamole so much!), Mexican dips, cheesy dip, then meatballs and deep fried cheese and jalapenos things, then black bean soup, followed by the main meal of enchiladas with either chicken, fish or pork, and finally churros with chocolate and vanilla dipping sauce. This was all washed down with lots and lots or red wine, I don’t think I have ever been so full in my life!

I will definitely be going back to this little place, great food, great wine, great service. If you're in the area definitely give it ago :)



TED.

So last week the boy and I went to the movies to see Ted.

I hate to say this and give the movie such a bad review, but to be completely honest I though it was going to be so much funnier than it actually was. I found the funniest parts of the movie where shown in the previews and were played within the first ten minutes of the movie. I have seen many people say of Facebook and spoken to a lot of people that said it was one of the best movies of all time. Me personally, was expecting so much more, maybe that’s where I went wrong, I had such high expectations of the movie and was really disappointed.

My boyfriend even fell asleep - and he NEVER falls asleep during anything!

Has anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Stereosonic 2012

Weekend down south

So on Saturday I went down to Dunsborough for my cousin's birthday celebrations. We stayed in the most amazing houses, it was like our own little OC, swimming pools, tennis courts, three story houses over looking the beach, it was amazing.

At 11am Saturday morning about 30 of us pilled into a coach and off we went to Margaret River.

The theme of the day was wigs! So everyone had to wear a wig.

Here is a pic of me and the boy posing in our wigs.. I attempted the Marilyn look while he went for the more hardcore rocker look haha

We went to two breweries, the first being the Colonial Brewery in Margaret River. I really liked the atmosphere here and the food was great, I had the peri peri chicken pizza for lunch it was delicious. Being a brewery and being one of those people that don’t actually drink beer, I was on the cider. They have a cider called Scrumpy, Custard Cider, you can either have it plain or infused with ginger. I tried both, the ginger one was nice, but it would get sickening quite quickly so I stuck to the plain one ((http://www.colonialbrewingco.com.au/brewery).

The second brewery that we went to was the Bootleg Brewery. This was lots of fun, we grabbed pints, sat out on picnic tables over looking a lake in the sun and taking silly photos ((http://www.bootlegbrewery.com.au/).

Both breweries were really family friendly with play equipment for the kids and large areas to kick a ball etc. but at the same time were great for a group of 30ish 20 something year olds running around like crazy wearing wigs!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
