Open Post: What's going on in your world?

 

 

Me and Tayla + food + wine = very happy sisters.

 

 

 

 

Hola! Welcome to Open Post – the little corner of Mamamia where we throw things over to you guys so you can chat about whatever takes your fancy.

As a lover of both food and alcoholic beverages, my topic of conversation this week would have to be the incredible lunch I had yesterday at The Bucket List Bondi.

I know what you’re thinking: But Rosie! If you were off having a boozy lunch yesterday, who was making sure there were enough random stories about weird internet stuff/television/crazy sex toys on the website?

Well you guys, I selflessly left that in the capable hands of my collegues, as I somehow managed to score six days off in a row over the Easter long weekend (don’t tell Mia, I think it may have been a mistake).

Lucky for me, I was invited by The Bucket List to enjoy a glorious lunch (and wine, and cocktails, and some more wine…) on them, thanks to an awesome initiative they’ve put in place over the Easter/Anzac break. Teaming up with Hyundai Australia, The Bucket List is supporting the Plan B and Safe Summer Campaigns, which are trying to curb drink driving over the break.

And for someone like myself who likes a bevvie or five, it’s a great idea: basically, The Bucket List has organised a shuttle service to take people to key places around the area so there’s no need for them to drive home after a boozy sesh by the beach.

Oh hey amazing view of Bondi Beach, what’s up?

And any campaign that tries to combat drink driving is a winner in my book, so I took my little sis Tayla along to enjoy the sunshine, have some cocktails and spread the word.

We were picked up in a very flashy Hyundai by a lovely driver named Kingsley (who kept trying to open the doors for us – a chivalrous move neither of us recognised). Once at The Bucket List, we spent the next few hours arguing over who would marry our really, really ridiculously good-looking waiter Ivan, eating amazing food and drinking wine (me) and fancy cocktails (Tayla).

Then Kingsley came and picked us up, where we both proceeded to lapse into a satisfied food coma in the back of the car. As far as Tuesday lunches go, it was a good one.

It was also lovely to spend some quality time with my little sister – because we live together we tend to categorise ‘spending time together’ as ‘watching TV in our underpants’. So it was nice to get dressed up and go somewhere fun.

Here are the photos I forced Tayla to take while I sat and finished all the wine:

 

So, that was my highlight for the week. What’s been going on with you guys?
