Hitting the town

Hope you enjoyed Scott's little outburst. I certainly enjoyed having a night on the town last night and coming home not smelling of smoke and not having red, stinging, eyes. One of Scott's friends from work heard that his poor wife was stuck in an apartment with only Scott for company. So she invited me to go on a girls night out. We met in a very cool bar called Hippo that is in Civic (the city centre). Fantastic cocktails, mellow music and lots of low padded stools to sit around on. The girls were very nice and a lot of fun. Then we went to the much less classy "King O'Malleys" where a band was playing such hits as "oh what a night" and the 21 year old blokes were trying to pick up. According to my new female friends, there are no attractive blokes in Canberra, and they suggested that it was a wise move for me to have imported my own. We had a bit of a dance, which was fun... but no one goes off on a dance floor like Zosia!

This morning we went to see an apartment that we have been getting excited about all week. It is in the inner south in a nice suburb, close to where we will be working. When I spoke to the landlord over the phone earlier this week, he indicated that a cat would not pose a problem. It is across the road from a cricket oval and has a large leafy garden. It is a red brick duplex, and we were looking at the ground floor apartment. It was very us. Older style but clean and large. Plenty of light coming in, good heater and gas cooking. Now we have to wait...
