fishmouseI'll make this a quick one. Weekend was bizarre, what with finally visiting my Nono in the nursing home. Not as depressing as I thought it was going to be, but still heart wrenching walking in past a room full of chair ridden, frail looking senior citizens. Still, it's has pretty gardens and shade outside. He's walking better (with assistance of a walking frame) but still can't stand by himself. Which is bad, 'cause my place is all staircases and he's 6'3" & 120kg. My grandma and I can't care for him if he has severely limited mobility. Worst thing is that I saw this comming for some time now.
The upside: SATASIA! Seriously, if you are ever hungry, have a spare bit of cash and looking for some truely fantastic asian cuisine while in Sydney (Balmain specifically) I wholeheartedly recommend this place. It's not super cheep or anything, but well worth it. Saw Uncle Maurie, who is soon to move back to Queensland & drove him home via my dad's old high school. Didn't loose my bed to visiting family! Very relieved on that account.
Hung out with Jenn for a bit on sunday ate at some cafe (apologies for forgetting it's name) with great breakfast food (apricots on french toast *drools*) then saw Blood Diamond. MUST SEE! Spent most of it curled up on my seat cringing at the violence because the whole thing is real. Far to real. Compelling, with brilliant cinematography and accents that are both lasting and accurate *worships gathered crew*
Alas, it's work for the rest of this week, which i'd better be getting back to,
Mishka
ps: On the upside, I should have enough cash monies for a laptop soon, which means i'll soon have internet too. At home. Methinks i'll go berserk for a while, it's been too long since i've had a home computer. Ah.
