Shakespeare in the park & NYE
E and I wanted to do something different for my first New Year's Eve in Melbourne, so we got tickets to watch "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the Botanical Gardens.
The weather that day was as hot as summer days come, and we were both eager to sit in the sun and do nothing.
I had to teach as usual, but I met E after work and he had packed us an elaborate picnic with garlic and chilli chicken, salami and ham, cheese, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, stuffed capsicums, dolmades, salad, bread rolls, crackers and dips and a bottle of sparking red!
We found a shady spot under a giant tree, laid out our picnic mat and wined and dined the afternoon away.
And then the lights went off.
Unbeknownst to me, his parents had bought a tiramisu cake for my birthday, and his mum came out of the kitchen holding it in her hands with lighted candles. Awwwww ;)
And that was how we spent our New Year's Eve.
