After an eternity of waiting, I've finally received THE CALL from Mini saying

Mini due to arrive in Brisbane today or tomorrow!!! *Happy Dance*

I thought it may be delayed til after January (what with Christmas and New Year close downs and the like), so am nicely suprised (except for having to organise the $$ a little earlier than expected).

So exciting, I should be able to pick up

in 2 weeks!!!

ScottyB · Jan 11th, 2006, 01:53 AM

We were in the new Japanese place last weekend , it used to be Cold Rock. Yes, very nice indeed, wont be around this weekend(evenings) due to soccer committments , but let me know when we can all meet up ! would be able to do saturday/sunday lunch tho

My better half reckons the tempura udon is fantastic, the dumplings are pretty good too.
