This afternoon I met up with Jarod and Liz at Enmore’s newest gelato store, Cow & the Moon (181 Enmore Road, Enmore).

It was handy going with icecream/gelato experts, ’cause they were able to deduce that the gelato is made on site. They also offer waffles and crepes. And, of course, they make coffee. AND THEY MAKE GELATO CAKES!

Can’t talk, thinking about gelato cakes…

But the staff were all lovely, the bathroom is clean, they offer good service, make noice gelato and iced chocolates (I had to test them, didn’t I? The things I do for blogging…), some seating is available and they don’t have a problem with three weird people hogging a table for close to three hours.

The main reason we met up was to get another photo for the 365 project. Last time was so much fun, I was stoked that we got to do it again.

Funny story: Liz and I own the same Threadless tee.

Funnier story: I was wearing mine earlier today, but switched when I was feeling a tad cold. So this photo could have been VERY embarrassing. But it means we have something else to add to The List. Because there are more than a few things that we seem to have in common (apart from an obvious love of Teh Tennant and his bedtime stories). Between the two of us the list is big enough, but adding our fiancés to the mix (hahaha, fiancés!) makes the list even bigger. One day we may even write the list down. But the idea of writing it down is scary.

Jarod and Liz: I promise to act a bit less crazy next time ;)

Earlier this week I decided to try to make it look like I’m trying to take a decent photo for this 365 business.

So I pulled out the old Nikon remote — well, two — because the battery’s died in one. Except I can’t always remember which.

I know have more than a handful of photos of me pointing the remote at the camera, unsure if *this* remote is the broken one. It was cute at first, but getting tired now:

Note to self: remember to turn on the timer option when turning on the remote.

Is February over already? Ca-razy!
