Road rage

So this evening we felt as though we had stepped into the twilight zone after going to dinner in Randwick and witnessing a genuine case of road rage.

It was the most bizarre thing, this girl was in her car and must have attempted to pull out in front of another car - not a big deal, she didn't hit him or anything, and it looked like she was trying to pull out safely - but the guy in the other car stopped (holding up a long line of traffic too), got out of hit car, went over to the girl in her car, stuck his head into her window and started screaming at her for trying to pull out! And i mean SCREAM, he was so loud and rude, i thought he was actually going to hit her, he was like a madman! I'd never seen anything like it, and Jo actually felt bad that he didn't go over to stop him, because the girl looked terrified. He went on and on for like ten minutes...what a weirdo. I can't believe people can get so angry so quickly over something so stupid, but there you go, i guess it happens.

Thankfully the night got better after we had dinner at this great little Moroccan restaurant which has the most delicious food - their signature dish is this Lamb Tajine, with prunes and almonds and other spices, which is heavenly! They also do an amazing chocolate souffle which we had for dessert.

After a busy week at work, it was nice to let off some steam last night at work drinks (and we certainly did let off steam...!), and then celebrate our friend Abbey's birthday with dinner at this Thai place in Surrey Hills. We wondered over to the Burdekin for drinks, and the light outside was so pretty that i whipped out my camera for a picture!

Today we went "visiting" - a term i use when i know we're going to drop in on a bunch of people for a quick catch up! We saw my cousins Charlie and Gerda - who supplied us with tea and chocolate cupcakes and lots of laughs as always.

Then in was on to my brother's - they have quite the menagerie of animals, who kept us thoroughly entertained all afternoon - so without further ado, let me introduce...*drum roll*

Reginald, AKA Reggie - as his expression here shows, Reggie is slightly wary of having a camera shoved in this face, which is exactly what i did on at least 20 occasions in the time we were there.

Ennis, the newest addition - totally and utterly adorable in every way, though my brother assures me this is because he is only 10 weeks old - apparently when he grows up he'll be quite ugly, so there you have it.

Jose the kitten. Spent most of the afternoon hiding from the dogs...in the dog house.

I know people, it makes no sense to me either. But you just can't talk reason to cats.

"Hey guys? Guys? Are you in there? Where's the food y'all?"

*peer* "Scooze me, you has food?"

"OK I'm sitting. Where's the biscuit?"

Me and Ennis hanging out

"Listen, just let us in the house. We swear we won't touch anything. Is that pizza on the bench?"

Afterwards, we really felt we hadn't had enough animal lovin', so we headed over to my parents to see....

Cooper - don't let that dopey face fool you. He totally knows how to scam food off the innocent bystander.

Comet the bionic dog. Held together by metal plates only.

Cooper and I bringin' the love home.

And that's the weekend so far folks!
