First day of work today and it was pretty cruisy. We decorated the foyer of the Metro Arts Building which was good fun. We'll finish that off tomorrow after the cafe closes so that we don't annoy their customers too much. Wow does the food at Verve (the aforementioned cafe) smell good! The scent of bacon and eggs in the morning when you've missed breakfast and have already started work is just too cruel.
A bit of unloading gear and a whole lot of spray painting today and that's essentially it! Tomorrow is going to be a semi-paperwork day for me with some schedule stuff but I love that so I'm looking forward to it.
We had drinks at the Verve this afternoon/evening and the happy hour specials were lovely. The beer was Peroni which I have been assured is quite drinkable and I had the house white which was more than palatable - although I may have just been thirsty as Gene wasn't a big fan of it.
Spiegel is on its way - it's half up in King Georges Square so I'm quietly looking forward to many a night there. There's an archway that we don't quite remember but hey, it has been awhile since we've been there.
Last night we ate at a Vietnamese restaurant, the name of which escapes me, and the food was great. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from our place and kind to the budget. We had dinner with Gene's family from Brisbane which was great. It's nice to see some familiar faces.
I was originally planning to post some pictures but I seem to be having technical difficulties with the SD card drive on this computer. Having found the network cables though I'll just bring my laptop in one day instead and that will make life much easier.
Still enjoying Brisbane and I can't see that changing anytime soon. It was yet another warm day today that even the locals were in t-shirts so I felt a bit better about the whole t-shirt thing. There are some Alaskans here for the festival and they're also a little confused by the appearance of scarves and furry coats in this weather.
Wish I could send a little sunshine back home. Miss you all!
