Great finish to the week


I left the office early today- just on 4.30. Tress and kiddo picked me up from the station and we went home and I started preps to get dinner going. The girls had gone shopping and picked up some fish (leather jackets) and chook wings for the barbie and I went about with the marinade as soon as I got home. Dinner was great and we were all stuffed silly.

Dinner done, all three of us pottered around in the gardens. Kiddo and I watered the plants while Tress did some weeding. We started at the back and side gardens and finished up on the front. The neighbours’ kids were in full flight on their bicycles and scooters and as the little black Jedi mossied around with the kids while we did the gardening stuff, I felt very grateful and contented.

We went back indoors just after 8 and Jackson/Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings came on and we sat through it, switching to our own DVD versions mid way and continuing with the Two Towers. It was a satisfying and peaceful evening for which I was (am) so very grateful.

I should include an entry on this Thai place we went to last Saturday, which was really nice.

Last Sunday night we had the cell kick off dinner in our home, with about 25 people. Tress and I had started to prepare for the dinner from early Saturday. We mowed, trimmed, swept, applied my leave blower liberally, wiped the outdoor furniture, vacuumed the house and shopped for all of the stuff we were going to cook and by the time we were done it was about 6.30pm.

We were tired and hungry and were ready for a good meal out so Tress rang around and we found this place in Hawthorn called the Red Elephant. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and after that hefty dinner we went to Armadale to collect mail for this couple who have been away on holidays. We got home happy but still thinking about dinner the next day. As it turned out, the dinner was good and the cell had a good kick-off meeting. The silly season has well and truly gone by and work, school and church stuff had started again.
