as it turned out, the mango cake was subsequently sequestrated by aunty yin fong, leaving me with a choice of green tea cake or tiramisu. and, since there seems to be a surfeit of chocolate cakes on the increasingly emergent menu, i decided to go for green tea. they still have about 40 hours to object.
other news concerns the snowballing carpool gang. originally, the plan was for me to drive up to rachael’s house, and for her to drive us there. then, change of plans, i was to drive up to whitfords shopping centre and rendez-vous with her there after her shift. at that time i was still blissfully ignorant of the relative locations of whitfords, my house, and the destination joondalup. i later discovered that the distance from my house to whitford is something like six (?) times the distance from whitford to joondalup.
the next twist: the freeway south will be closed on sunday from 4am to 10pm. on second thought this isn’t as bad as it first sounds, since it would probably take me no less than half an hour (probably more) to make it from joondalup/whitford to the start of the freeway south, but still not a nice thing to have to worry about.
I sorta read the title of this post as “la barbecue”
