Had a dreadful night’s sleep. I was beginning to think – Yep I know why Bluddy Mary loves living in this part of Sydney so much… nice cafes, close to the beach, cool sea breezes, and plenty of surfer eye candy to be had while sitting on the patio of a trendy cafe sipping a civilized chai latte….. BUT!! Last night, some of the neighbours were having a rather noisy get together that literally lasted until day break. They were all hanging about on their verandah smoking and drinking and it went on all night – their voices echoing around the buildings, waking me up whenever one of them laughed a little loud. So I had a dreadful night’s sleep and gave up around 0515 – nothing like a sleep in on your weekend away.
Anyway, when the others got up – we went for brekkie at yet another trendy Dee Why beach hang out – Stella Blu – all this eating out makes me feel like I am going to have to be rolled onto the plane tonight. After brekkie we went shopping down at Warringah Mall to look for some perfectly impractical shoes that would make Dita von Teese green. Didn’t manage to find any cool shoes, but picked up some groovy stationery and some bits and bobs to bring home.
I also found what I think might be the most unpolitically correct book ever – “Where’s Bin Laden” in the Where’s Wally genre. Appalling – but fuckin’ funny… so naturally I had to buy that for some entertainment on the flight home home.
