As its already Thursday i thought i should write about last weekend as it was lovely. Now we didnt do anything exiting or extravagant but it was more just lovely, relaxing and productive. My favourite kind of weekend.
It had already been a good and busy couple of weeks as id been to the cinema twice. We watched 27 Dresses and the second time I went I saw step up 2, The streets. I can't decide if it made me feel old or cool (not that you can't be both of course).
We have also been to the pub with our cluster and also with the allotment group that Jono is a part of and we did really well in the quiz. They have a great quiz sheet that I hadn't seen before. There are 25 questions and you put them in the answer boxes which are spread on a 5 box X 5 box page. Once all the answers are put in, the quiz master gives out the answers but not in any order. It's like bingo style and then it's the first team to get a row of 5 correct answers. My dad sometimes organises quizzes and keep meaning to tell him about it. If you're reading this dad aka Pater ;-) then this is my way of telling you about it so I don't forget ha ha.
It was also really nice to briefly catch up with people from my old job as a load of us met up to commiserate the closing of the department. I could only stay a couple of hours though as me and Jono were meeting up with our cluster at the pub.
I have met up with some friends for coffee and also had a little trip to Dunhelm with a friend as she had never been before and is getting her own house soon. Lots of fun and bargains to be had. I was really good though and just brought two packs of tie backs for 25p a pack in the sale. Amazing.
Anyway to get to the point of the title, after all that busyness it was great to have a lovely, relaxing and productive weekend.
Friday evening we just stayed in and then on Saturday morning Jono went to the allotment while I had a bit of a lie in. We then spent a couple of hours in the garden. Jono was putting up some trellis and I planted some bulbs and re planted the strawberry plants. We redid the garden a couple of years back but there are still things that need a bit of finishing off or tidying which we haven't really had the time or weather to do, so we made the most of it on Saturday.
We then had some lunch and we both commented how nice it was when we realised we were eating bread that I had made and soup that Jono had made and got out the freezer the night before.
After lunch we showered and had a productive afternoon of getting a bit of shopping in for the week. We waiting till Saturday as Jono had to take some slippers back so we thought we would shop at the same time. We also got rid of all the recycling while we were there and also popped to the charity shop on the way to drop off some clothes. The evening we just spent on the computer or in front of the telly.
On Sunday we went to church and after having lunch at home decided to spend a couple of hours at Starbucks having a coffee & cake. We took our books to read aswell which was really relaxing but I could have fallen asleep on the comfy sofa I was sitting on.
That evening I had a go at making a pizza base in the breadmaker. I had enough dough to make a pizza so I decided to use the extra to roll out to make a garlic & rosemary bread. Both came out lovely and as id made that rather than a loaf we took it to work for our lunches on Monday & Tuesday.
