Beehives and Honeypots

Here's a quirky detail I discovered the other day in my mini adventures around Darwin. The Supermarket - more like very large milkbar, down the road from here has some very random prices. Try on a can of Lite Spam for $5.73!?!

Was feeling a little down earlier in the night, coming home to an empty apartment that is not going to get any fuller in an hour of so is not a nice feeling. But what works like a charm to get one feeling better again?? Dancing of course! I almost didn't go, but am extremely glad that I did, am feeling 100 times better.

Tonight was the first weekly Friday night social salsa for the year. It's held at plush lounge with a dance floor/stage called the Beehive. The Beehive is actually a large room at the back of a venue called the Honey Pot, through which you have to walk to get to the Salsa. The Honey Pot is also a strip club. Very classy! Only in Darwin. Hey, at least maybe it encourages the guys to go dancing... or maybe the women too - whatever takes your fancy!

Ended up being a good night, had a few dances, talked to some people. And of course it was raining heavily on the way home, lucky it is only a couple of very short blocks away!

Still posting at insane hours? :)

Had a great weekend at Sandy Point with Son ... didn't want to come back. Am about to start work, of all things ... :(

As for empty apartments, hang in there lass, it isn't long until he'll be back. Sending you lots of smiles, Milo :)

Work on Labour Day? Sounds wretched! Well, at least you got a Labour Day. No public holiday up here, but for those who don't have a job, every day is a public holiday! Glad to hear you had a good weekend down at Sandy Point. Say HI to Sonia for me.

Yes.. only 8 more days.... maybe...
