Nick and Lieu: Friends of Winter

People really don't focus on the pluses of winter. Some refuse to acknowledge them altogether. I love the softer light of the season and how it makes people behave differently. In a city like Melbourne, winter makes us appreciate spring and summer. Plus, don't you think it's nice to dress up without getting hot?

Lieu and Nick at my house. The chill of a Melbourne winter etched onto their dour faces. Are they about to tuck into borscht, made the old way with vodka or are they about to dispense with the beets and just have the vodka?

Lieu 96

Tonight Lieu and I went for dinner at Dessert House. I took this portrait of her as we waited for the best tram in Melbourne - the 96. It was 9ºC at the time. Cold for us Australiëns.

It wasn't until I got this foto on-screen that I realised how nice Lieu's scarves are.

I'm not often happy with my photography. But tonight, I'm happy with this portrait. Most of the credit goes to Lieu though for being a compliant model.

So we went on to Dessert House and ordered exactly the same things. Two BBQ pork omelettes on rice and two hot honey lemon teas (you have to specifiy hot in this place).

Goddam I love Dessert House. Abrupt but efficient service, fast food, fraikin tasty and everything under $10.

I've never actually had dessert there... I'm just too full afterwards. Speaking of which, it's not often Lieu doesn't finish a meal (I can't remember her not). Tonight the omelette raced her and won. Good going you omelette!


Oh, here's the omelette...

Is it bad if I went back again tonight (the next night) and ordered the SAME meal and SAME drink, albeit with different people? I won't even bother posting the pic I took... it looks exactly the same!
