coffee and cocktails

Yesterday arvo (seeeee, i'm learning the language already) I wandered around Subiaco. Grabbed a coffee at Spring Espresso on Bagot Road, a cute little coffee shop with bright sunny yellow paper cups. Good coffee and a few nice seats outside but not really the kinda place you'd while away an afternoon with a book. Speaking of which, a few doors down is the 'Romance Book Store'! Imagine, a WHOLE store. Didn't check it out but maybe another day. Last nite we went to Northbridge... Went for food and drinks at the Moon.... V. cool. They've got smart booths in the front but they were all full so we headed out back where there's a room full of mismatch sofas, armchairs and lamps. Super cool. Relaxed in a couple of battered old chairs with a marguerita and a yummy blue cheese and squash pizza. R drank tanqueray gin followed by (rather disappointingly) a warm beer. BUT, warm beer aside, a great place to hang out and definitely wanna go back. (and wine only $6 a glass!) (Yes, Englanders, this is cheap). Then, we wandered up and down (and then up and down a bit more) William Street trying to find Ezra Pound. Eventually worked it out (entrance isn't on William St and it doesn't have a sign)... after queuing for 5 mins (yessss, we queued to get into a bar), we made it in! And hmmmm.... pretty cool and i liked the outside alleyway bit, but much preferred the atmosphere of the Moon. And after a jam jar of tom collins for the lady and a long neck in a brown paper bag for the boy, we jumped on the train back to W Leederville and stayed up until the early hours huddled under the duvet for warmth watching the footy and the tennis.
