This is the first chance I've had today to relax a bit, it's been quite busy at work.

Yesterday mc_shamo and I took his mother to visit his father's grave and then to the Collingwood Children's farm for the farmer's market, which provided a nice contrast. There were kids! As in, baby goats! They were very cute and it was obvious after a little while why we nickname small children with the same name.

We got home, packed away the shopping and then headed over to impostinator's house with a picnic basket, combined it with her picnic basket and she, Oscar, Seamus and I went to the St Vincents Gardens for a lovely picnic, then wandered up to Jock's Ice Creamery where I got a chocolate milkshake with gingerbread flavoured ice cream. Yum yum yum.

In the evening mc_shamo and I walked to jpom40's house via Cafe Legender for awesome bbq pork bao and spent a relaxing half hour with James and his wife Katie chatting and eating spanokopita before everyone else rocked up (everyone else being vivienne_aster, clappamungus, cows_might_fly, _audhumla_ and rage_dc) to make4 it a proper pub gathering. Unfortunately we were the first to leave as I started work early this morning.

So, an unremarkable day, but one full of sun, friends and food. Very nice.
