Friday 17 January – One of those ridiculously awesome nights


  
Current location: Circular Quay
11.11pm, Drinking wine at Opera Bar.I was having the BEST night! I finished work early-ish so went home and got my glad rags on. It was a beautiful, sunny, boiling hot day, and so it was really nice to get ready for a night out without having to worry about staying warm!

I met Emily and Gemma at the Forresters pub, and they'd nabbed a cute little outdoor spot for us, so we got some wine (to cool us down, obvs) and started on our mammoth catch up. Emily and I used to go to City Uni together, where we did our Master's, and it's been ace seeing more of her here since we both moved to Sydney. Her friend Gemma is awesome too, although today she announced she is moving to Melbourne (sob!).

Before too long, our beautiful friend Sophie turned up, with her girlfriend Daisy. Soph also did the Master's with us at City, but I hadn't met Daisy yet, so it was so exciting when they turned up! We had a fab reunion and, as Daisy and Soph had only arrived that morning (they're on a 7-month trip around the world!), we were excited to show off a bit of Sydney to them.

Embracing the tourist in all of us, we hopped in a cab and went down to Circular Quay, where millions of people were already at Opera Bar. The atmosphere was amazing, and I always love being near the Opera House and seeing the Harbour Bridge. More wine was drunk and the hours seemed to disappear as we laughed and chatted and had the best girls' night.

Not quite ready to wrap it up yet, we carried on the party to the Glenmore, which is in The Rocks and has fab views of the harbour. The night just kept getting better and, when they closed the rooftop garden, we simply ordered some tequila and moved the party downstairs. I caught the last train home and woke up the ext day to this message from Emily, which pretty much summed it up:
"Last night gets a 10/10. x". It sure does!
