Hoorah for boots

27 March 2006 8:21am

Allow me to rant for a moment. (that would be different to any other day, because...?)

On Saturday I set myself the mission: find the perfect pair of boots. Finally, around 5pm, after going to almost every shoe shop in Melbourne City, i found them. brown, knee high, gorgeous heel, with a buckle around the ankle, and actually fit! the fact that they were the cheapest shoes i tried on was a nice bonus.

now that the important stuff has been discussed, i can mention the fact that liz, our flatmate nat and i spent yesterday at Melbourne Zoo, which was very cool. i've decided when i have my own home, i'm getting meerkats. i've completely fallen in love with them. the variety of animals was great - i loved the big cats, althoughwe were running out of time when we reached them so we had to do a little extreme big cat sight seeing.

liz starts another job today (that's 3 for her right now...) so we celebrated both of us actually having money and getting paid by going to the white lotus for dinner. i've been hearing about this place for ages, and believe me the hype is totally justified. it's a vegan chinese restaurant that makes food that looks and tastes just like meat. liz got really excited about it too because the food was so good. it's definitely going to be my new takeaway, although i was a little freaked out because liz was raving about how accurate it all was, and other than the fish, i didn't recognise the taste. it's 11 years in may since i ate meat, so i guess i really have forgotten it.
