My Weekend

Monday 15 August 2011

I am happy to report that we had a very quiet and restful weekend minus looting and random acts of violence! Instead my weekend consisted of picking fresh veg from my garden (this is a huge achievement for me considering I have suicidal plants), dinner date nights, napping, reading my brand new Decorate book (which I WON in the fabulous Roco Rennie giveaway), lots’ o’ cooking, a jazz festival in the city and my personal favourite event – learning to parallel park at 8am on a Saturday morning with a mild hangover (note: this is not recommended). I feel ready to tackle this week with renewed energy and a much lighter heart. Here’s to a fabulous Monday!

  9. Happy to hear things have settled down for you! Doing anything with a mild hangover is truly a bad idea. Everything is suddenly much more difficult!

  14. Now THERE's a good weekend. It's ever so satisfying to be able to grow your own food, isn't it? Do you like the new book?

  16. Thanks for all the comments ladies! @ Hannah - yip, they are enchiladas! I found the jazz picture on Pinterest but I would loooovvee to know how it was done! Anyone have a clue? @ Bug - I wasn't too affected by the riots, but we live down the road from Clapham Junction which was badly attacked so we were up all night with sirens which was scary, we were also sent home early from work as they were closing down train stations. @ Camille - love love love the Decorate book! I feel so inspired to start doing stuff around the house now!
