Not one, but THREE super nice, single guys at my dinner party... anyone up for a visit to Melbourne??The dinner party was a hit! Ten guests (all friends from my meditation group) arrived at 7pm and didn't leave until after midnight.
Oh, and he went away for a business trip and surprised me with a gift when he returned! A beautiful pair of tea cups from an awesome store--wrapped gorgeously (which we know that I LOVE)!
It was a potluck, Indian, vegetarian dinner where people cooked the recipes that I distributed (courtesy of my friend Shruti). Everything was yum (as they say here). One of the guests was from the south of India and he brought dough to make poori. So, at one point there were five people in the kitchen, rolling dough on the heavily floured counter then dropping the little thin pancakes in to hot oil.
One of the guys brought his American girlfriend, Mel, whom I hadn't met previously (she is not in the meditation group) so now I have a new friend in the neighborhood. Yea! I had asked if she could bring a beverage to the party and she brought lemonade. Yes! Remember that here if you ask for lemonade you get a Sprite? Well, Mel brought real lemonade and called it... lemonade! I was chuffed (translation: pleased/psyched).
Brendan recently taught himself to play the ukulele and has taken to serenading me. Yes, really. The other day he sang "Brown Eyed Girl" to me. I am sooo liking this relationship thing.
Oh, and he went away for a business trip and surprised me with a gift when he returned! A beautiful pair of tea cups from an awesome store--wrapped gorgeously (which we know that I LOVE)!And yes, another sunny and 70F day here in Melbourne. How grateful am I??!!
