I tried for a ride this morning, but barely made it three blocks away when the heavens opened and it started pouring. Had to call off the ride and go home to mooch around the house on what turned out to be a pretty ugly Saturday. In fact I didn't leave the apartnment until about 5.30pm when the weather cleared for a bit and I felt like I had to at lease get some air and see the outside world. I took a walk down to the park we got married in and damn it was absolutely beautiful as the sun went down, the colours of the sky changs, a warm soft breeze played on the water and there was the after-rain scent of wet vegetation, gum tree flowers and salty bring from the water. Golden retrievers were splashing around hunting crabs in the shallows and a guy rowed in from his sailboat in a tinnie which kicked up phosphorescence on the almost dark water. I was transfixed.
As soon as I got home Sarah and I went out for dinner at Nilgiris, the award winning Indian restaurant up in St Leonards. Pretty damn delicious, although like a lot of higher end restaurants I just feel that the effort isn't there for non-meat meals. Surprising in an Indian restuarant though. Good food, very attentive waitstaff and a beautiful interior all the same.
