We spent most of the time playing dueling computers (i.e., working... but doesn't it look like we could have been playing battleship??). Ani was even roped into helping - she helped proof-read drafts of papers for both of us (despite her argument that it was more important for her to try to hold down the bed.)
But even working is more fun when you're together. And then there's all the basic 'living-together' things that you get to do together: long evening walks with the dog, going to the gym... and then having pec wars, cuddling on the couch and watching tv, laughing, cooking (in our own kitchen, where I don't have to worry about sharing the space with house-mates or making a mess or taking up too much room in the fridge).
And we had an eating adventure - we went to a Hot Pot restaurant with Maria. So for those of you who don't know, there's a big pot on a burner in the middle of the table. It's divided in half, with a mild broth on one side and a spicy broth on the other. Then there's this huge buffet of uncooked meats and fish and veggies and noodles and sauces, and you cook everything and mix it all together and pretend to be creative and have a lot of fun. It's kind of like a cross between Mongolian Barbeque and fondue. And it's a bad idea for anyone who's particularly possessive/picky about their food, because everything gets mixed together in the pot. Now we've developed a plan of attack for next time - so come on over and we'll take you there!!
But now I'm back in Dubbo. :-(
[Although on the bright side, the weather in Sydney was getting cold and rainy and winter-y, and for right now the weather in Dubbo is still pretty nice.]
You had a good week together, and my day's a little better for it! Go figure! XO - popTT
