Tonight Andrew & I attended a wine tasting dinner at our local Cafe Orchard. I believe it is the first time they have hosted such an event, and it was very successful. As collaboration between the local wine merchant, the cafe and a small grape-grower in the Yarra Valley, it provided excellent food, lovely drink and new aquaintances.
It was also nice to be able to go out to dinner in our little village. There are two wonderful cafes at the shops, but they close at 4 pm and 6:30 pm respectively, so there isn't really a nice restaurant option close by. There are fantastic restaurants all around Melbourne, but they feel very out of the way by the time I get home from work. Even picking up Maccers is a bit of a schlep.
We arrived home to a rather unexpected guest: the neighbour's cat managed to sneak in at some point, and we discovered a black, furry warm spot on our bed upon our return. Neither Andrew nor I saw her dart through a door in our comings and goings -- unless she's perfected breaking in through the chimney. I suppose the soot would blend in to her fur. Other happenings this week included a two-day work-related software class for me in Hawthorn.
It was easy enough to get to (nevermind that I forgot and headed straight for work that first day...and had no clue how to get there...), but both days I kept missing turns to get home. I succeeded eventually, although it took me longer to get home the second day than the first! Time to study the Melways a bit more.
