This weekend we..

Phamish, where you can see the chef at work

Went to a restaurant called Phamish on Friday night, which is opposite Luna Park and Palais Theatre, and oh my God the food! It was a little pricey so not somewhere you would eat out every weekend but it was definitely worth the money! Conor had a Moroccan chicken starter and I have never tasted chicken like it! I had the Phamish Dips selection of house made dips & oven baked sesame bread which was also pretty wow! Still don't know what the dips where, but they were v.nice! Had a lot in it so probably better for sharing as the amount of that delicious bread they give you is just crazy! So mains then I had a pizza with napoli, mozzarella, pesto, roasted peppers, prosciutto, rocket & goats cheese. Yum! Still can not pronounce prosciutto however! Must work on that! Conor had the eye fillet and it was lovely! Probably the beast steak he has ever had he said! High praise I might add! So yes now that I have gone into THAT much detail about what we ate I must say that I do not normally do that, it is just that is was that good! And our waiter, with his crazy purple hair was lovely and picked out some nice beers for Conor, including the St.Kilda beer! Will most definitely be going back soon! 


Friday before we went out, Conor bought himself a car! He got it off another Irish guy so it came complete with a really bad cd full of depressing Irish songs! So yes it's a Mitsubishi Lancer and was going pretty cheap, which was all he wanted. So now he gets to stay in bed a little longer and get home earlier and most importantly he now fills the 'must have own transport' bracket that all the adverts for carpenters have! Sorted! :)


Saturday we went up to Brighton Beach for a little while but it was so windy we felt as though we were being sandblasted! We did get to see these crazy pelicans flying really low however!
So we soon ditched the lazy beach day and headed back to watch a game of football we had passed on the way! Sorted! I will not lie, I do not know the rules but it was cool to watch something different. Although it is very like Gaelic football it is still a little different!

I do live with boys too, but the girls like taking girls only photos!

Saturday night we headed out with the housemates as it was one of their birthdays. I got to wear my lovely dress by Rare and my coral Topshop shoes! :) We had a couple of drinks in the apartment first and then off to Big Mouth it was which was good fun. They are quite the fans of tequila howsever and I am not so much! Yuck! And no where does Goldslagger here!! This could however be a blessing in disguise as now I won't want to do shots anymore! :D


Sunday morning was greated with a hangover breakfast in La Roche, a cool little restaurant/bar on Acland St. The walls are covered in graffiti art, as most of St.Kilda is, and the food is pretty good! 

The Pink Fits

Afterwards myself and Conor decided to check out the music store we kept walking past on Barkley St. to get some cd's for the car! (We have yet to find a good radio station!) Pure Pop Records is a record shop/cafe/bar! It even has a little beer garden out the back! It is very cool! It has posters all along the walls of bands that have played there, including Conor's uncles band, the Pink Fits! Behind the counter the owner has pictures of himself with The Frames, of whom we are massive fans! Naturally we got talking to him and it turned out that he was in fact Bon Scot, of AC/DC fame's son! Conor did happen to be wearing his AC/DC t-shirt typically! I thought he was going to faint when he said it! So apparently whenever artists play in St.Kilda or Melbourne they go and visit the store to meet him because of who his dad is and they play gigs there! How cool is that! He said he gets a lot of Irish artists in too, like obviously The Frames, Damien Dempsey and Mundy! I think we may end up frequenting this place now! 

Pure Pop Records, everything you need really!

So yes that was our weekend! And now I am sitting here, on Tuesday, staring at my phone hoping that Sam from Helly Hansen calls, as she said that she would today! And if not I have an interview with Swarovski tomorrow in the city, which I am now feeling I may need some luck for! So I guess I may go off and continue with my research of the company and be productive! (I have already spent a few minutes on Face in Hole.com coming up with stuff to amuse Conor whilst he is painting in work!) I need a job! 
That's all for now folks! Keep your finger's x'd for me!
