Ahhh.....Lets getaway from it all......

What a fantastic weekend I have had....after a couple of VERY stressful weeks, I was lucky enough to be indulged in a couple of luxurious nights away on Hobart Waterfront.  Had a fantastic time, with awesome company and got to chill out.
My crazy mate (and partner in many adventures) Trace came to keep me company for a few hours sat night and we popped over to Customs House Hotel and had a few (too many for me) Pale Ale's and then back to the Hotel....we then decided to pop down to one of the bar/cafe's under the hotel for a cocktail.....so in we go to T42 and immediately we, well I did anyway, felt like a grandmother in a creche.....the staff were not terribly interested in us....but we soldiered on an ordered a cocktail each anyway.....At $17 a pop!
This was Trace's Bloody Mary....It was that spicy that she had to send it back and try, with rubber dinghy lips, to ask for it to be chilled out LOL, which they couldnt manage and she never finished the drink, ordering herself a glass of tomato juice instead....then mine came out...Carribean Cruiser....

Now I know bars these days like edgy, hip, totally cool attitudes...BUT A FARKING JAM JAR??  What were they thinking??  I couldnt believe it....remarking to the waiter, clearly they had run out of glasses...hahahahahaha.....needless to say, I wont be going back there....Small speed bump in an otherwise WICKED weekend.

 Nice when a tall ship just happens to float by...


Me ready for the Casino...we didnt win unfortunatley but was a fun night......Sunday we caught the ferry over to MONA...http://mona.net.au/ I loved it....some wouldn't....I dont care....I like thinking outside the box hahahaha...I dont think the owner thinks of anything but the box HAHA....The exhibit "Cunts and Other Conversations" pretty much backs me up on this thought hahahaha.....If you get a chance check it out but remember it is a private collection and definatley NOT your usual Museum.....There isnt much I didnt like about it, from the architecture, ipod guides, exhibits and the unique ferry ride (which I missed to go home lol) I say well done to him and thanks really for building it here in little old Tassie!

So now I'm back in reality..kids are fighting over the cubby house they built in the lounge room...lunches to be made yet....yep...I'm home LOL.......

    A jam jar cocktail would have pissed me right off. When Bonnie reached her womanhood I took her to the Grand Chancellor for high tea. She was very annouyed when the teapots came out with teabags in them! Tea bags, I mean come on we are paying big bucks so we want a brew man... makes you wonder. Having said that ONBA does some great cocktails, Danielle had a Bastard Child last time we were there. It was $17 as well but had almost three nips of alcohol and was in a huge glass. We'll check it out post Beautiful and the Damned....
