1) Maria and Bret de Thier at Brunetti's in Carlton with 2) our mutual friends Marg and Warren Sellers
Reservoir Dog's day in Carlton
22.8.16 -
I actually had remembered that my former Art School mate Bret de Thier was going to be in town about now, but I missed his first couple of phone calls and had to ring him back on Saturday to establish where he was (in Reservoir) and where we might meet up. (Kiwis, even long-standing resident Kiwis, have trouble with the local pronunciation of Reservoor, preferring to risk derision with an informed froggy Reservwah. Mind you, our bravado only extended to intoning it in exaggerated whispers with furtive looks at our neighbouring tables).
I chose Brunetti's because it's easy to find, not for any regard for quality of service (negligible) or food quality (Maria's hot chocolate was tepid at best), plus it was very noisy, of course. We'll have to sort out something more suitable for future liaisons. Anyway, it was good to catch up with everybody and put us in mind of getting away from it all again in Spring.
