I woke up at around midday, after adjudicating for the ISDA and going to Jess's 21st on Friday night. Around 3pm, I was chatting to Sadhie and Julian on g-chat and we decided to go for ice cream. We had only to change our minds and decide on swimming at Coogee and our plan was settled.
I brought some swimming related paraphernalia with me, but initally we sat at a cafe by the beach and had sandwiches, burgers and wedges. Not having been to Coogee for some years, my initial impression was that this would be a lovely place to get an apartment. However, seeing some of the people walking along the promenade with their big tattoos, various body piercings, and having a general grungy biker look which could not be disguised by their beach going attire, I decided that perhaps this was a slightly rough kind of neighbourhood. Several minutes after airing this opinion, a fight broke out in front of the Coogee Bay Hotel which lasted for around 15 minutes. Several unconscious people later and the police arriving at the scene a relaxed 30 minutes after the fight had finished, convinced me that perhaps Coogee is not the most desirable location in the world.
The fight being over, Julian drove Matt back to Newtown and I went swimming with Sadhie and two of her friends Ben and Nick. The water was cold, but refreshingly invigorating.
Afterwards, we were going to catch the bus to the city to meet up with Julian, but passing through Randwick Sadhie had only to see a Thai restaurant that she really liked and we called Julian to inform him of the change of plans. A triple scoop of boysenberry, hokey poky and some kind of cement flavoured ice cream later, and Julian arrived to meet us for Thai.
