I went out last night, up to Belgrave to see my flaky friend and, as predicted, I spent hours and hours with her. I was out so late that I got into trouble from Tristan because I came home after 12 on 'a school night'!
Amelia and I went to Anna's house where, first of all I asked whether her neighbour had given birth yet and what flavour was the child, we tried to visit her. This is very difficult because although the houses are very close, in order to get there you have to go down one really steep driveway and then up another one (only to find that the person in question is out ARGH!).
Then we decided to order pizza, while we waited for pizza we entertained Amelia with bongo drums, this was really fun and Amelia joined in patting away at the drums, she even got some good sounds out. There was also some sort of Japanese instrument that she was enthralled by, but wasn't allowed to touch.
Hmmm, what else, oh we had some lovely organic red wine, then the pizza came. We ate, then spent some time on the veranda watching all the birds fly around looking for trees to sit in for the evening. While this was happening her neighbour returned home and brought her baby over....Patrick. SO small and light, also his cry was really soft compared to Amelia's now. I had a cuddle.
Then Richard, Anna's partner came home and he expertly showed Amelia how the bongo's are to be played, she also enjoyed the timber of his voice, alway turning when he spoke. Then she got a bit grizzly, but eventually fell asleep and the adults had some jasmine tea.
After a while I decided I should go home.
It was the best night I've had in a while. So relaxing. If only I could see her more often.
