window shopping

Saturay... in the city... busy city. Even thought there was o footy on. It was packed. not sure why. Mum and I were lucky enough to get a seat on the train. It was that packed.. being school holidays i guess thats why (plus a bairnsdale train)people crammed on.. i think some were even standing.

Met Louise at a cafe in crown.. good coffee... and had a bit of brunch.. which was a grilled sanga. We walked from there to Elizabeth street. Went to Clegs and looked at patterns for dresses. She was getting a little excited... but then again... i think she really needed Aunty Anna there to help her.As she is the one sewing hers and our dresses.

So then we walked to the antique jewelery store.. gosh some lovely pieces there. I tell you. The lady was lovely in there... she was an old Russian woman, very polite.. she knows her stones.. she knows what its all about and doesn't pass judgment on the way you are dressed as to weather you have money or not ( unlike a few of the stores we went to they wouldn't even serve you) (my gripe) she let us try on rings and everything. I would love to layby some things in there they were just stunning. Next door is still antique jewelery but more contemporary, they had some beautiful pieces too.. i saw the most amazing sapphire and diamond ring, necklace, and bracelet

So if i had of had ooh i don't know lets say about a spare 20 odd grand to play with..i may have bought some of the pieces! Yeah that will be the day! ha! Oh well i can dream. So after that went to have some lunch.. hmm i had grilled fish with salad. It was ok. Nothing to write home about. Louise had lasagna she enjoyed.. and mum had ohh i cant remember.. ill have to ask her! I think it was a good deal for $10 ish dollars each. The only thing we all bought was some chocolates from Haighs. ymbo there peppermint chocolate frogs still rock.

Then we wet back to the Halinkas house.. to stay the night. Had dinner... which was beautiful chinese food. Beautiful food. Mum did not whinge or anything. We watched tv for the rest of the evening and sat and chatted etc.

So thenI went to bed earlyish. Though i couldnt sleep.. so i was up writing letters and reading a rather interesting novel.. so then what?

Lights out...
