Two Old Ladies In An Ice Cream Parlour…

Still not feeling on top of the world, but also not like I’ve been hit by a truck. Maybe a glancing blow… 😆
I went into town the other day – the first time in a while. Meant to get to my favourite cafe, but ran into my Mum before I got there. We went across to the new ice cream parlour/cafe in town for a catch up.
You never know who you’re going to meet in the “big” city! 😀
I hadn’t had my breakfast yet, so felt it was a bit early for ice cream, but I enjoyed my coffee!
These days I trundle around town with my old lady trolley. We both parked ours by the table while we talked.

It was a nice little interlude, in a nice little place.

A lovely retro vibe…

…and not just ice cream! (There’s burgers, too.)

I eventually got to the library, where I checked out some books, and the newest of the little plasticine figures one of the librarians makes.
There’s a cute little penguin family.

There’s also a (hopefully) friendly orca.

I think I overdid it a bit – it was so nice to be out and about. I’m taking it easy again… at least I have a good stack of books to keep me company!

Back In The Swing

The school year has started, and everything seems a bit more focused now – no more lazy days reading and relaxing. It’s taken me a lot longer than I expected to get back in the swing of things.
Sweet Bean is doing well so far – two days in and all is calm.
The holidays have flown by so fast! It was good while it lasted, though.
Hubby and I went to the launch of a new ice-cream parlour last week. It was a sort of “goodbye” to holidays, as well as the chance to try out some gorgeous flavours. It’s called Ungermann Brothers Ice-Cream Parlour. The place is decorated like it’s the  50s – the servers wear lovely red and white polka dot dresses, and there’s black and white tile on the floor and a juke box in the corner.

The menu is interesting… I can’t see myself getting a cone of roasted garlic ice-cream, although I would like to try it.

We chose a lavender and honeycomb in a gluten free cone for me, and a dark chocolate and mandarin cone for hubby. The flavours were quite strong, but good.

Yum! 🙂

In our previous forays into cafes during the holidays I came across a quote that seemed apposite for this year.

I don’t know what’s going to happen this year. I have deadlines that will only be met if I go out and make something happen… I have the good company already, and good food and coffee will follow.
Now to step out and appreciate this life!
