SINNS...

So, ages and ages ago, we went out for dinner to a gorgeous, trendy restaurant, called Sinns. It's in Wembly Square at the top of town and, despite the overlooking gym (I was a little disappointed that we couldn't actually see any hard working men up there) we all ate and drank to our heart's content. The food was excellent, but then again, it generally is. I don't think we've ever been anywhere that I haven't been at least satisfied with my meal.

We were a small group again (where are you girls, we missed you!!), but still had a great time. I must be honest, I'm finding that I'm the only one updating this blog and nobody seems to comment, so I'm not even sure that anyone checks it. Hello... is there anybody out there? I'm running out of things to say, it's a bit like talking to myself. Never mind, I do that often enough anyway. Here are the photos that Pia took with my camera on the night (there would've been only these first 2 if she hadn't taken the rest!)...

The food shots...

This was mine - a fish salad. I was VERY impressed, delicious!!!

Naughty? Yes, always!!

Till next time, girls! XXX

Zibaldone...

Our May dinner club was held at Zibaldone in the Tygervalley Waterfront. The restaurant is a fine dining Italian one and, once again, we all had a great time. It's always good to get out without men and kids and, as a group of relatively young women, just to let our hair down. We enjoy a glass of wine (or cocktails), some great food and experience a new restaurant. I love our dinner club and I love seeing friends I don't see often enough! We have a new member, Karen, who's recently moved to Cape Town from the UK with her two girls. Karen lost her husband 2 years ago, so she's a single mom like me and we've been spending quite a bit of time together. She doesn't know many (younger) people in Cape Town yet, so she had a great time out too!!

So, since there's not much else to say, here are the snaps...

We started off with drinks at Beuna Vista Social Club, next door to Zibaldone. Anchen agreed to have this 'Shrek' shooter. It's a shot of Apple Sours, a shot of something else and the Red Bull to finish it off...
