another busy week

As the week progressed I found myself in ...
the city to see a fashion parade for spring fashion in Melbourne, with the girls from the bridal shop "Catherine R Couture"we were disappointed that the catwalk display only lasted about 40 minutes.
The clothes were by Melb. designers and were a range for Summer with way too high heels ,very high skirts and not much to really inspire us.Except the full catwalk shabbang!....
....with cameras and loud pumping music and loads of crowd watching on my part .Plus a show bag with treats to explore;bottled water,magazines,chocolate,skin care products, ideas from the designers,even a profile of one of the boys in August's house who is trying to make it in the fashion world.
A small town version of Milan or Paris maybe....
with one small town girl watching it all in awe..

Then off to Wagamama for some dinner and delicious apple, mint and lime juice (so yummy).

Then off again to find somewhere for coffee.We found a restaurant in Burke street, very Italian,to have coffee.We had a lovely waiter called Fabio who went out of his way to be the waiter of the year for us.
We were the only people in the restaurant so we got lots of attention including all the glasses and napkins removed and then replaced with fresh glasses of water with ice and fresh napkins delivered with a spoon and fork-a la carte style...
then we had coffee and profiteroles and a complimentary plate of delicious chocolates.and I had an affogato(which is icecream with a shot of coffee on the side and a liquor as well)perfect for the end of the night. we all marched out the door at the end of the evening and in a syncronised line all said....
"ciao fabio" and giggled all the way back to the car .... what a lovely evening.
