I am a teacher but have decided this year should take a slower pace than last year, that I should take time to appreciate life, so how better than to document it in photos!

Day 40 Extending a 4.30 coffee date to 9.30pm...and on a school night!

This afternoon after work, I arranged to have coffee with Steve. He is down from Newcastle on a training course. We went to Ojo in Tuggeranong and found they had pool tables, so we had a coffee while playing pool (edit-thanks for the spell check family..how embarrassing! :s) and then decided it was a bit warm and switched to cold drinks (weirdest lazy way of making lemon lime and bitters!). I messaged Sean and asked if he wanted to join us, so he stayed on the bus and came directly to Tuggeranong. Steve took a pic of me playing pool for today's pic but I later found a better subject.
Around 7pm I thought we should get something to eat so we went around to the little sidewalk restaurants out the front of the Hyperdome. Steve said he is best to stay away from Asian food as he is allergic to soy sauce, so we went to Little Istanbul. 
While looking at the menu, the table next to ours received their meal-it was one of the banquets and we were inspired. We ordered the kebab banquet. The first course was Turkish bread and dips. The second course was a plate of mixed kebabs (chicken, beef and lamb) with rice and salad. What started out as a coffee date turned into a great night with fabulous company and some funny stories told. Thanks Steve!
The above pic shows the dips (after we had eaten our fill of them with all of the bread), the kebab plate and the salad. It was lovely and filling. I would recommend it for a lazy meal out with friends.
