What an amazing weather week we’ve just had – 9 days of the most sweaty, restless sleeps no thanks to the winter doona which we hadn’t quite migrated from the bed until yesterday. Not to mention the thunderstorms from an almost stationary trough plonked right over Victoria which sent blobs of purple all over the radar, and those stormchasers on the www.weatherzone.com.au forums into an absolute tizz. Northern Victoria did pretty well, and the thought that Bagshot has a dam that’s full and frogs in the pond at Christmas warms my heart. A few nights ago the GIS Christmas Party touched down at Feddish in Federation Square. We were early so we hopped Flinders St. and found our way to Movida (yet another bar on Kim’s list to visit) and grabbed a couple of wines and watched the bar staff in awe. Not only were they nice, but they looked good too! Sadly you need to book at least a week ahead for a Tapas meal, but I think we’ll do it because they played quiet music, weren’t chockers full of people and had very cool playing-card-style business cards. Kim says they’re famous for their selection of sherries – who the hell drinks that stuff besides nana’s and people trying to out-fashion the fashionistas. The Christmas do was OK, but I was tired from a busy week and after some erratic dancing moves, snuck out just before twelve.
