An Intoxicating Anzac Day

We started Anzac Day rather early with lunch at James Squire Brewhouse at the Docklands. It was a brilliant idea for Princess Model to throw a huge birthday celebration over lunch. Being a public holiday it was a bonus. It was an afternoon filled with food, alcohol, friends and plenty of laughter. What more could one ask for?



What a coincidence that Cute J and I turned up in the same colours! He's too cute. Ball Breaker, Princess Model and myself must've had atleast half a dozen bottles of wine that day. The three of us were blind when we left the pub. Swing Sister came for lunch too although she was on call at work. She was spewing she had to work that day but atleast she managed to sneak out for a couple of hours. She wasnt allowed to drink though and James Squire has a rule that if you're the designated driver, you can get a "designated driver" card from the bar and have soft drinks for free. We made Swing Sister go up to the bar to get the card and she did. Good work!

Princess Model's friend Mr I was there too. Swing Sister and Princess Model have been dying to set him up with Ball Breaker. But any which way I looked on the day, I couldnt figure out which part of him was good looking. He was so geeky looking, not at all Ball Breaker's type. Swing Sister believed he would make a good match with Ball Breaker because they're both from the same profession and he's a decent bloke. Well, like Ball Breaker says, he cant be that decent if he "wont miss Armin for the world". Someone who's so into raves really isnt the type she's looking for then.

The food at James Squire was not too bad. I thought it was better than The Elephant & Wheelbarrow. The tomato risotto I ordered was brilliant. Following in on Cutey's footsteps, I got the opportunity to pretty much sample everyone's food that day. And most were quite yummy!

VB turned up unexpectedly. For some reason, this guy never rsvps his invitations. He likes to just show up to parties unannounced. Not that this is a bad thing. But bear in mind some parties are dinner and lunch affairs where table and seats need to be booked. The reason people send out invitations requesting for an rsvp is so they can confirm numbers right?? Everyone was surprised to see him. He doesnt call to inform anyone, he just shows up. What the?

It was a good day, relaxing and intoxicating at the same time. The atmosphere at James Squire was beautiful by the water. A little chilly on the day but still bearable. Six of us stumbled across to a Chinese restaurant at Docklands after leaving the pub for some cheap Chinese food, not that I can remember much of the night. I do remember it was a good day though. Best wishes Princess Model. Hope you find your husband soon. And dont forget to spend the Louis Vuitton voucher wisely!
