Last day in Melbourne

It's looking pretty sunny, so I think we'll be heading out for a day of exploring soon.

Since I last updated Vic and I had a glamorous night out in Fitzroy, the party suburb of Melbourne. We met up with Liz, my friend from school, went to some posh bars and drank exotic cocktails. It was alot of fun, particularly when we got to this bar called Polly's, ordered the Polynesian Mojito that someone-or-other had said we just HAD to try, and realised it was about 80% proof. Liz refused to drink it on the grounds that she would get drunk, so Vic and I split hers.


Me and Liz

Following that, the classiness of the night rapidly deteriorated. We ended up in a markedly less classy and more scummy pub, I spilt red wine on my new, pale-pink top, and Liz spotted someone who used to be in Neighbours which caused Vic to actually squeal out loud. (Liz: "Shh, calm down, don't react so much, they're looking...") Then I broke my flip-flop (sorry, thong) so altogether, a brilliant night out!

Liz says that me and Vic speak EXACTLY the same and have all the same mannerisms. Hmm, she's probably right. Maybe we should spend some time apart. We're trying to integrate some new phrases into our vocabulary, as everything being "amazing" is getting a bit old.

Yesterday we decided to put something back, so we cooked dinner for Uncle Andrew. It went...ok. We were making veggie lasagne (it was always our signature dish at uni) so we went out and bought all we needed in the way of vegetables, wine, etc. However, whilst cooking we realised we hadn't got milk...and decided to use soy milk in the cheese sauce. (I'm SURE that I've done that before and that it tasted FINE...) It tasted absolutely yuck. Luckily we caught it before we actually added it to the lasagne dish, which would have been an absolute DISASTER. Instead, we had to make lasagne with NO cheese sauce, just grated cheese on top. It was ok, a bit dry, but hey. There was no way we could compete with Uncle Andrew's cooking.

I've had a bit of a cold for the last few days, ew.
