Well we went to our 2 for 1 Tuesdays which expired last week so last week was double discount Tuesdays only to find out that they cancelled that and it was only single discount Tuesdays. So I think we are off the buffet until the new year. We met some friends there and they didn't know about it either and the consensus was that we wouldn't have gone if we would have known that they'd jacked the price up.
Since it's so close to Christmas we get to go to 2 parties this weekend. L's is on Friday and it is a roaring 20's theme. There's gonna be a lot of ladies dressed as flappers. For the guys they really dressed quite dapper in those days. The only obvious fashion statement they had was very baggy pleated pants. Unfortunately for me they went out years ago and I don't have a pair so I'll just wear a hat. On Saturday my company has invited us to their dinner which sounds pretty good. The great thing about Darwin is that all places are only 10 minutes away. L's party should have dancing so we are expecting a good time. Mine is at a bar so I'm not sure if we'll get to dance later or not.
While I write this it is raining. It is bucketing down really hard. I can see blue sky at the same time. Because the roof it corrugated metal it is really loud in here. I think the cloud is right on top of the building or it seems like it.
We're gonna have to work out where we are going to eat next week. We will probably try fish and chips at the warf which is really reasonable, but they charge for ketchup. Yup a $1. If you want tartar sauce another $1. But I have a plan before we go. I'll drop in the grocery store and get a $1.97 bottle of cheap Tomato sauce, as the call it here. I'll also bring my own Coke. It'll be kind of like a picnic but with hot food. We've been there before and fish come up and people feed them. We have some stale bread at home, it goes off so quick here, and we can feed that to them as well.
Croc sightings have increased quite a bit lately. Yesterday the paper had a picture of one on a bike path and today the paper has an article of a dog being eaten. But I think crocs are the least of our worries. Here in Darwin there is a lot of impared driving going on or as the say "DRINK DRIVING". Considering the size of the cities population the problem is pretty bad. Needless to say we all must remain very careful, while driving, no matter where you live during the holiday season.
So I not to leave things on a bad note, it's Domino's pizza night tonight ..YEAHHHH. I'm gonna have to check Facebook to see what the special is for today.
It's a simple life up here and we have to make big of the little pleasures we get.
