Things I Love Thursday

Oh noes, my first things I love Thursday is way overdue!

In all honesty, I totally forgot. And in my defence, I was busy procrastinating uni work.

I've actually had a really relaxed week considering I have so many assessments due, but this week has truly been fabulous! The thing that made me most happy this week actually occurred on a Friday, which technically doesn't make it count but oh well!

It wasn't expected on Friday night when I was planning to stay in the library all night and start my counselling critique but Jason showed up with sushi and a white chocolate mocha (♥) and then afterwards headed out for Southbank for a full course dinner and shopping at the Southbank markets!

It was a whirlwind of adventure! Jason bought me a pretty pretty vintage blue dress from Wind & Water at the markets and it was as oh so lovely as the lady selling them! She was really nice and she and Jason were talking like good old friends, she was so upbeat and she really was great :)

I quote her: 'You went to the bin and you've come back with popcorn! It was expected of you anyway!'

Afterwards, we had dinner at Toscani's. We scoured the whole entire Southbank looking for a place to eat and settled on the small restaurant. The bread we had was so warm and soft and Jason would scoop a tonne of garlic butter for every mouthful of bread he ate. The pasta was very creamy and the Wagyu was very ...red wine saucy haha :)
But the dessert was the best part... four scoops of vanilla ice cream in a waffle cup, topped with chocolate along with creamed raspberries, strawberries and whipped cream. Gosh it was so yummy.. And it was the first time I've had raspberries too!

I don't particularly like it, but I don't particularly like anything that's too sour :)
I actually really wanted the cheesecake, but I enjoyed myself so much that it didn't bother me what we had as long as I was with Jasonnnnnnn harr harr :3

Also earlier that Friday! I was walking through the gardens to uni during the storm and the pouring rain ..and also running a bit late might I add. And ran into this girl at the duck ponds. We were total strangers just walking through the park, her ahead of me. When she stopped to look at the ponds, I walked by and she turned around suddenly, smiled and pointed into the water.

You might not find this very entertaining, but I do! In the water there was this big lizard.. just sitting in the water with his head poking out! We both laughed at the lizard for some time and it was really fun. Something I've never done before, you know? Laughing with a complete stranger. And genuine laughing too, not the polite chuckle kind :)

Anyway, this post is becoming a lot longer than I thought. So here are some other things that have made me happy this week!

Seeing old friends in the library ♥ Debating over which friend is more 'normal' than the other ♥ Dinner with my parents ♥ Early morning breakfast of bacon and eggs at the park ♥ Comforting hugs and smelly feet ♥ Pinkie Pie's RC car ♥ Cat videos on youtube
