Ooh, the joys of a weekend of having absolutely no plans whatsoever, especially after a month of social, 40th birthday type celebrations and a 14th wedding anniversary which were all lovely but, ya know, sometimes a gal needs her bed.

This weekend went a little bit like this, which, come to think of it, seems fairly busy:

I….

  • spent six hours gardening, including weed-eating galore and mucking out the garden by the back-door (which had a suspicious, man-sized flat patch at one end due, apparently, to a certain spaced-out hippy missing the french door to the right of it during my birthday party).
  • attended a barbecue over at the Beige Shed as Bruvinlaw’s parents were up for the day/night to see Niece T’s ballet recital – salad out of Lil’Sis’ garden, new potatoes, lamb loin chops, sausages in bread, rump steak, rounded off by brandy snaps, profiteroles with lemon curd and whipped cream! Delish.
  • slept in till 9.30 this morning due to the six hours in the garden the day before and a few glasses of Scrumpy last night, missing most of the All-Blacks/France game but managing to rouse myself for the Other Harf’s fry-up.
  • played for hours on my PC with our all new broadband internet connection. Yes, Vodafone admitted they never should have sold us the previous modem, which would never have delivered broadband, and we got a nice big chunky refund from them and a voucher to upgrade to the new modem stick. YouTube and iTunes did very well out of me today!
  • spent at least an hour in the garden taking photos of all the new flowers turning out for the spring weather, then photos of Miss 9.2 for her “Do a Good Deed” school project (making toys for the kittens at the Whangarei SPCA, bless).
  • And now? Anticipating home-made pizza for dinner, Mucking In on telly at 7pm and an early night.
