I have had a rather quiet month, by my standards. The first week or so was used to relax and sleep and just decompress from the crazy that was Psyfari!
The second weekend, I had a Melbourne adventure with Tara (and Tim). My flight landed in the afternoon (yes I did fly, for once!), and we begun the trip by going shopping. Didn't end up buying anything, but never mind. We then headed to Supernormal for dinner.
I had never heard of this place, but my goodness! It takes a lot to really impress me in a restaurant (thanks to a decade of hospitality life haha), and this one just exceeded all of my expectations. Service was sensational (you wouldn't get better service in a hatted restaurant), and the food was incredible! You can find them here - if you are ever in Melbourne, go check it out!
We then were really full, so to make room for dessert, we went for a walk around the park nearby. Once it started getting dark, we went to Storyville - a delightfully themed book bar on a little side street. The decor is so amazing in here, and their drinks are book themed. I had the polyjuice potion :)
We had a reservation for dessert at 10pm, so we headed over to Om Noms for a late night dessert and cocktail feast. If exquisite desserts and cocktails that are smoking with liquid nitrogen is your thing, then this is definitely the place for you :).
I feel like this monthly update has turned into a recommendation list for restaurants and bars in Melbourne!!
The following night, Tara and I headed to see Ed Sheeran! We were in the standing section, so we arrived pretty early and waited for a couple of hours for the show to get going. His support bands were Bliss N Eso and Missy Higgins, which was so great - 2 artists I probably wouldn't have bought tickets to go and see, but definitely enjoy their music, so it was cool to see them live. Ed then played an amazing set! Even though I have seen him before, I still think it's insane (and seriously impressive) that one human can keep a stadium that huge entertained on his own :).
I headed back on the early morning flight, straight to work.... but managed to miss my flight for the first time ever, so I was a little late! Note to self - be earlier to the airport on a commuter flight!!
Other than cleaning the house and getting back into some sort of routine, the majority of the month continued to be pretty quiet.
I was involved in planning an event at Luna Park in late March, which was really fun! I had never been to Luna Park so that was a bit exciting :). The event was for work and SUVA - I won't go into detail on a lifestyle blog about work, but if events and finding unique venues is something you are interested in, head here.
The last weekend in March was then my cooking weekend with Tara. This particular weekend is getting a whole series on its own it was so massive! We managed to make 12 weeks worth of food in about a day and a half. The first in this series can be found here, and if you're into meal prepping, or are looking to start a meal prep routine, then this is for you. To be honest, this weekend was more like Meal Prep: Extreme Edition, but if you would like advice on how to get started on meal prepping like a normal person, then follow the series, and feel free to comment/message with questions!
And that's it. Thank you for being a bit calmer, March - it's been nice!
See you next month :)
