We've been hunting for an apartment in the CBD or Docklands or just about anywhere within walking distance of work and the Queen Victoria markets. With that in mind, Renee has been looking for work in the CBD area. We applied for a place on Collins and Spencer; hopefully that'll come through before 21/6/07 when our sponsored stay at the Quest ends.
The first couple of days were packed. We went to Bopha Devi on Thursday night; we had the place to ourselves for a while; the food was very aromatic. Renee took me to Benito's on Friday night to celebrate my first day of working for BOM. It was a really great meal (chicken served on semolina gnocchi; grilled swordfish). We went to Citrus Mint in North Melbourne on Saturday night with Ian an Kylie. It was a really nice meal too. The place was small and full of people the food came in large serves and was great (spicy pork stir fry; red duck curry)
Queen Victoria markets on Sunday to get some supplies - vegetables are really cheap compared to those of Coles and the throngs of convenience stores.
Work has been going well; I seem to have a grasp of the direction they want to be headed in. The people are friendly and have been very helpful.
The end of the working week was rewarded with a trip to the football (Ess vs WC). The bombers got up by a point. The first half was dominated by the eagles, but once the bombers started getting back into the match the crowd got right behind them. They got really loud once Lloyd and Lucas started bombing away. Somehow they turned it up a notch with 30 seconds remaining. Lots of fun.
Leon and Renee
