We had a cold drizzly morning and the power went out at work around 12:30 PM. We were just on our way out for lunch anyway, but when we returned from a quick lunch down the promenade, the power was still out. A co-worker Belinda and I decided to head across the river for coffee. We went to the alley way pictured above, Degraves Street, and enjoyed the heat lamps in the street. The alley spans two blocks and is full of cafes, with shops around the corner. While we were chatting, one of the guys I met at "Friday Night Drinks" came up to say hello to me. On my way home Friday night, I also ran into a guy from salsa dancing the night before. Me! New person! Running into people - I love it.
Next Monday is a holiday (the Queens birthday), so we have a long weekend. I told the guys at work that I was contemplating taking a train to Adelaide this weekend with Phill, and they scoffed incredulously, in utter disbelief that I would even consider spending 9 hours on a train to go "there". They were so entertained that they kept repeating the idea to others, who all responded with the same reaction. Maybe I won't go there.
