On “tight arse” Tuesday (half price) we went and saw War of the Worlds at the cinema at Innaloo.

Friday we had a members introductory dinner at the Royal Perth Yacht Club. Yes, I am now a member. BUT, it is for work (they’re having a dinner there, and membership is cheaper for under 26). We still decided to go to the new members dinner and ‘ceremony’. So all dressed up (me slightly overdressed even!!), off we went.

So then we were surrounded by people who lived in Attadale, and who had attended Aquinas, or who’s children were going there! (Aquinas being the most expensive and prestigious boys college in Perth, and Attadale being an expensive suburb). Anyway, we had a nice enough evening, with buffet dinner and desert for $30. And I had to go up in front of everyone and receive my framed membership certificate and keyring, argh!

Last night I was invited to a last minute dinner in Leederville.

We went to Ria, a Malaysian Restaurant. It was VERY nice, with main courses around $17. We shared everything, and had Squid Skewers, Shredded Cabbage Beef, Apricot Chicken, a salad with peanut sauce, and rice with spices and pistachios.

After dinner, went to the ‘Paddo’ (Paddington Ale House, Mt Hawthorn), so we could go out and dance. ‘Big Shorts’ were playing there, a cover band who played a big variety of songs, including some good ones like the Counting Crows. We took a taxi home at about 12.30(it closes at 1am).
