Fish and Chips and Pirates
As Friday nights are generally take-away nights, this evening we went and got Fish and Chips. Well, there were fish and chips and sea scallops and potato cakes and calamari rings. All up, a nice little feast, which we took down to Shorncliffe. Shorncliffe is a suburb of Brisbane which faces both Moreton Bay and The Cabbage Tree Creek. The Creek runs out into the bay, so we were somewhat sheltered, however there was still a stiff breeze coming off the water.
We set up at a table, and proceeded to have the wind blow our drinks over. It wasn't too much drama as we all huddled in together, ripped small holes in the paper wrapping up the fish and chips, and ate our meal together. It may have been a little cold, but the hot food soon warmed us up. As the sun set, we walked along the path by the creek.
The surprise for the night was that today I bought the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on DVD. Both Ethan and Anth hadn't seen it, so when we got home we all sat down to watch it. Aidan preferred to watch The Simpsons in his room, and Callum spent about an hour climbing all over us before he got tuckered out. We did get to see the second half without too much interruption. So there you have it, a Friday Night at the Angry Dad household!

Sounds like a perfect Friday night to me. Yummy, now I am so hungry and it is only 11:30am here. Have a great weekend.
When I was growing up we used to have day trips on the train from Ipswich to Shorncliffe with my grandparents. I seem to remember fish and chips were one of our faves too... along with a hot potato scallop in a fresh bread sandwich. MMmmmm. Thanks for the memory, I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight now.
sounds not too dissimilar from Friday nights in the Ladies Lounge most weeks. Other than we eat the takeaway at home. And we only have the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie (is deadman's chest the second one?)... Other than that, Shorncliffe appears to be a place we need to visit one day!
I can't believe this weather of late - hot one day with sunburn & t-shirts ... snow and hail the next - WTF ?!?!?
It worries me ... but eating F&C through little ripped holes in the packet, then coming home to Johnny Depp isn't too bad at all ... ;)
