We had quite a busy weekend. Saturday we went to a cousin's wedding - very nice, intimate, it was a privelage to be invited. For those that care, the bride's dress was a very pale blue, clean cut and stylish. It was held at a reception centre in Melbourne that is themed as an Olde English pub, lots of wood panelling and stuffed game on the walls. The cake was displayed below a dead fox. Cool.
Then Sunday we went to Hotham Staff reunion at the Espy in St Kilda, a Melbourne icon that I had never been to before. It was a lot grungier than I imagined. It was good to see all our friends though, kind of strange to see them in normal clothes in a normal place. Driving down St Kilda Road made me feel like a country bumpkin, all the funky cafes filled with funky people. I'd like to live in Melbourne one day, experience the culture for a couple of years.
We came home from Melb in time to go out for dinner with a fill-in chiropractor who's currently working at Elicia's clinic. He brought a girl who's an actor in the Bell Shakespeare company doing the schools program. It was really good, I talked to her about books and the Arts while Elicia and the chiro talked about new techniques and diagnoses. That seems to happen often with people that we know - I often have a lot in common with Elicia's friends' partners - the old 'opposites attract' theory proving itself.
