Caught up with a friend from high school on Friday night. We did the karaoke thing at a place on Pitt St, close to Liverpool St. Haven't done this in years. They had a security person at the door who looked through our bags and waved a sensor type device close to the body from head to toe. I guess it was supposed to beep if it sensed something. We were then let through.
We just selected letters of the alphabet at random and just selected any song we recognised. Lots of golden oldies. Didn't see any really new ones - but it probably takes a while before they turn new songs into karaoke releases.
Went to the Cube bar/cafe on George St afterwards for some coffee and cake.
Had a quietish weekend - did some repotting of some plants that were leaning over, did some cleaning, washing, admin type things, cooking etc.
Had a nice teriyaki chicken dinner box at Asakuse - costs approx $20 for two people. Tasty food. Great value. Followed up with a hot chocolate at Cinque, King St, Newtown last night.
Had dinner at the Drummoyne Rowing Club tonight with the folks. It's nice food with water views. Pretty reasonably priced too. Had the grilled seafood plate and a passionfruit creme brulee with ice-cream. Would recommend both dishes. The friend I caught up with on Friday night and I keep a mental list of places that serve creme brulee. So will add this place to the list.
