Crash I did! Got up around 08:00, showered, and ate brekky. Then drove with Allison to Fairfield.
Hung out at her parents' place while she has her nails done. Then went for super burritos for lunch, courtesy of her dad. Waited until her mum got home from grocery shopping, then we went to the bridal store to pick up the wedding and bridesmaids' dresses. Back to her parents' place.
We left at 17:00 to drive to Berkeley to meet Rowan for dinner. Oh yeah, I tried calling her last night and got engaged signals. The the phone rang and it was Sue! [Sue is a friend back in Sydney!] She told me that Rowan was desperately trying to contact me! Kinda hectic, but it was good to hear from her. Anyway, right after that call I rang Rowan again and managed to get her this time. We arranged (or rather she and Allison arranged) to meet at a place called The Blue Nile in Berkeley for Ethiopian dinner. And Rowan told me that she'd be easy to recognise with her gypsy clothes and fuchsia hair.
And yeah, she was easy to recognise! Allison and I got there a little early and wandered a little down the street, checking out comic and record stores. We ended up in a book store next door to The Blue Nile. This was a natural place for Rowan to look for us. We met up and trooped into the restaurant for dinner.
I gave Rowan the Wrightson books she wanted, plus the scented gumnuts and the teas. She loved it all. The food was good. We paid and walked down to the Mediterraneum Cafe for cakes. Rowan and I had evilly wicked chocolate rum ones, Allison had carrot. I took a photo (and Allison took one of me and Rowan) and then we parted and went home.
Now, I've just finished watching Beauty and the Beast. Must get the video at home. Terry is off with his friends doing bachelor stuff. Time for sleep...
