Shopping, running and meal work

Thursday 2nd May woke up this morning and Sharon texted to say booked flights coming 9th-26th September, woohoo so exciting. Got up 9.30 and cleaned the place as due for inspection tomorrow morning. Fire alarm went off whilst cleaning didn't think needed to evacuate place but the fire brigade arrived and eventually alarm stopped. Went for a run only did a short one 1.69 miles then came Home and went to spinning class was good. Then came home lunch, washing and then thought I best go do something instead of staying in flat all day. So went to city to get my hand cream from the rosehip pharmacy in Surreyhills which was unfortunately shut yesterday when in Surreyhills. On way up went to Sherdians outlet as wanted a European pillow but will have to come back as had some nice quilt covers. After getting my hydrating cream which is supposed to help with dry, sensitive skin and fish oil tablets to work from inside to the outside. Also tried to recommend me to get other tablets to help with eczema but declined as said would see how this works first. Then went to Messina and got lovely sorbet 'salted coconut and mango salsa' yum yum, sat in park and finished my chapter. Decided to then walk to Paddington and browse round the shops as never been there before and supposed to be some nice shops. Paddington is a trendy inner-city suburb that has a reputation for great shopping whether its function or fashion you are after, there is something for everyone in Paddington. Ask anyone about their first impressions of Paddington, or Paddo to the locals, and they’d probably say ‘sophisticated’ or ‘cool’. Paddington’s designer strip is all about exclusivity, luxury and bespoke shopping. Was some nice shops but at nice prices aswell but found a nice boutique shop 'Pearl' with some lovely skinny jeans. Went to country road to get Ellie's Xmas present so can take home with me but sold out in store but luckily one store had one so did phone order. I also something else to buy her from there didn't have in her size here but had in city store so got bus to the city. It took them a while to find in the QVB store and ended up buying 2 items so nearly got Ellie's Xmas present sorted. Then home have tea only had pasta and chilled in front of TV for abit.

Friday woke up 7.30 and waited around for them to come and inspect the place at 9.10 but by 10 still not turned up. Thought best to phone them up to see what happening as this ridiculous nearly a hour waiting for them to turn up. Only to be informed that the inspection been cancelled due to a emergency and didn't have my number to phone to let me know. So went to Rhodes to get a few cards for Samuels 6th and one for Nanna then sat outside in sun and wrote them. Then go look in target for sandwich toaster non left, ikea for picture frame but not sure which one and Coles for groceries. Home and decided to try making something new for lunch so made egg fried rice was nice but somehow managed to break a glass. Then to gym ran for a hour did 6.05 miles which is 9.7km so happy so less than 5kms more to do then distance off city2surf run. I then did the stretch exercises which I was shown last week but can still not do the weight behind my neck with lunges think its as afraid of dropping weight. It was then time to get ready to go out as off out with work tonight to Hurricane's grill steakhouse restaurant at Top Ryde. May kindly picked me up at 6 with Michelle and we were their in plenty of time was actually the 1st there. Was only 7 of us but was good night me, Michelle and May shared full pork rib, BBQ chicken and borewors. As the girls both not had Borewors before which is a traditional South African sausage which was mildly spiced with mash and Spanish sauce. Was very fun as we all had bibs on due to the messiness off the the ribs which I think we definitely needed. Everything was declared to be delicious and most went for us had the ribs which are usually good, have a really nice sauce on them and generous in size. But unfortunately their never came back with the drinks menu so never got one of the delicious cocktails their do, will just have to go back again. It took us abit to get out of car park and when May dropped us off showed her and Michelle my flat which their thought was lovely.
