22.04 White Wine Wendy Strikes Again!
Honestly, we really don’t know where the time is going to as we say goodbye to another week. Jo’s worked all week and I’ve done a couple of days. It’s given me a chance to get other some bits and pieces sorted, but not the important ones though!
As many of you know, we had a ‘social evening’ planned on Thursday, this was a meet set up by someone that Jo had seen on ‘GumTree’. After some email contact we had secured the time & place in the city. It was an impromptu club called ‘Melbourne 30s’!
The time had come and we spent a few minutes psyching ourselves up by walking around a music shop opposite the hotel. Once we were ready we headed over the road and entered the bar. We ordered our drinks and sat at the bar, as we tried to decipher who was who. It was a shame that there was no one there to introduce themselves.
After a couple of sips of the ‘ole dutch courage’ we had worked out that a group of ‘dowdy’ and ‘slightly older than we imagined’ people were probably them. We think that first impressions are very important and we weren’t particularly impressed, there weren’t any cool dudes or chicks like ourselves in the eight – yes EIGHT! Anyway, not to be perturbed by this we decided that we’d head off and come back.
After a little walk around the laneways we had a drink at a bar and headed back to the hotel. Unfortunately it hadn’t improved much, if at all! There were still the same numbers of people there, so decided that we’d head back to Docklands.
It wasn’t a wasted evening as we headed to the Lounge Room bar and after a few more drinks, Jo heckling the band and a short stumble home I think it worked out very well!
We received an email from the Melbourne 30s the following morning saying it was a great success and he’s organising another event. We’ve said, surprisingly, that we’ll go and hope that some others might turn up. Just got to get some of those nose & glasses combo’s just in case we get noticed!!
Lots of love,
Nathan & Jo.
