Ain't I Just Like The Present To Be Showing Up Like This.

The last two days have truly been wonderful, I'm over the moon happy by the events but a little sad that their over. On Monday night Nick and I was ever so lucky to get seats to the live 'Q and A' show which was being filmed in Adelaide for the night, Usually filmed in NSW, on every Monday at 9.30pm on the ABC. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, 'Q and A' is a live show with a panel of experts, usually political figures and the floor is open for questions from the public and the panel discuss them, I watch it every week.
We were completely unaware that the show was going to be in Adelaide until the day before when our friend told us he' s girlfriend got them a spot in the audience months before after signing up on the website. I knew it was a long show but I decided to email them anyway to inquire about getting two seats in the audience, they emailed me back Monday morning telling me they were unfortunately fully booked. Then at 5.30pm I got a call saying we got seats and if I wanted to accept them so I jumped at it. The show was awesome, they tackled subjects such as politics, sexism and gay marriage, it was extremely interesting.
After the show we went to 'The Garden Of Unearthly Delights' which is a kind of carnival held here in Adelaide during the fringe festival once a year. We'd heard that there was a stall there selling Vegan waffles with berries, whipped cream and melted chocolate on top, we headed over there and there was a guy working there who knew Nick from his band and gave us a Vegan waffle for free. I love free things they make me so happy and appreciative. It was a great and unexpected night.

Now the other this that has me smiling was last night when we saw Bon Iver. We had bought tickets months as we've been huge fans of Bon Iver for years now and this was the first time they'd come to Adelaide, we were excited. I'd been feeling pretty down that day due to my complicated family dramas that I wont get into, but that night, that show just fixed everything. I cant even begin to explain how amazing it was, the sound was huge and the music was phenomenal. Just thinking about last night gets me all excited and emotional, I truly couldn't have wished for a better show. During the last song of their new album 'Beth/Rest' Nick and I clasped each others hand and sung along, I couldn't of asked for a better moment.

Ahhhh what an amazing two nights, I'm the luckiest person.
Tomorrow in one of my best friends, Rachel's 21st birthday, I've been making her a few things here and there as her present so today I'm going to put it all together and wrap it. We're doing dinner and dessert, can't wait.

Here's just a small amount of Bon Iver amazement that we experienced last night.
