The rest of our weekend was spent doing mainly house related things, that is food shopping and cleaning, none of which is worth writing about. Although I did make sultana scones on Saturday - Dave is having a "bring a cake to work" day to sell for charity so I thought I'd do a dry run (and just as an excuse to make something yummy to eat). They turned out really well so hopefully I won't embarrass him at work by giving him crappy cakes to sell.On Sunday we ventured to Newtown, a suburb in the Inner West, for the annual Newtown Festival, a free community festival featuring dog shows, 5 stages of music and performance, writers tents, market and food stalls. Apparently the festival usually attracts about 80,000 people and even though the weather was rainy on and off, it certainly seemed that way. We wandered around the stalls, which all seemed to be selling very hippy fare, and eventually sat down to listen to some of the free music, mostly (actually, entirely) featuring bands we'd never heard of! It can only be described as very "Brighton" - lots of hippy, alternative people about.
If the weather had been nicer, it would have been a lovely way to spend the afternoon, but the drizzly rain coupled with the fact that alcohol was really expensive and you couldn't bring your own, meant that we left for home after only a couple of hours. Back to the flat to enjoy pie and mash for dinner, and yet more of Lost season 2, which is currently racking up a huge bill in overdue fines...!
