long weekend
Housework and laundry and a date with Youngest, who had a photography assignment requiring "architecture."
We had promised him noodles too...
and that's how I found myself with a pack of tall skinny guys with cameras. On the train. In the snow.
It was, in fact, a really crappy day in town. Cold and damp and windy. For some reason I completely underdressed. I looked good though.
We wandered downtown past this great art installation - I need to research it. It's lightbulbs.
Good place to use the loo downtown? Restoration Hardware, where I wanted K to see some washed Belgian linen bedsheets. Funny thing! K pointed out that we are going to be in Belgium in a couple of months and suggested we might want to look at sheets there.
After more slogging around in the snow (Hunter boots = freezing feet) we were told it would be between an hour and a half and two hours for a table at the noodle bar we had hoped to eat at so we ducked into a building to make a warm and informed decision about where to eat.
Iphones out, Urban Spoon consulted, we chose another noodle joint.
We were not disappointed.
At a tiny hole in the wall with seats for no more than 15 people we took stools at the bar.
Udon warmed us.
It was a great meal.
We headed home to sit by a fire and watch a movie (Tell No One).
We're expecting more snow overnight but I've got hyacinth next to the bed and it smells like spring in our room.

Is that a chocolate bar next to it?
Chocolate in bed? How decadent!
LOVE those lightbulbs.
I wish I lived in a place where such a thing as art installations existed.
(I had udon noodles today too and a new little Japanese joint that has opened in our suburb. A joyous thing in and of itself made even more so by the fact it is GOOD Japanese - Grovey decided he loved the soup more than the udon. A perfectly symbiotic relationship)
An art installation like that would last three seconds in Sydney until some drunk bogan stumbled through it. Tsk.
