Cooked a Red Thai curry and egg fried rice Friday night
Went down to Broadbeach on Saturday, looked at some Harley Davidsons, hubby has picked one out and buying it this weekend, took me for a wine to celebrate, Saturday night had an early night (have partied far too much the past few weekends)
Sunday went shopping, child and husband free, bought lots of new clothes as I've dropped a dress size woo hoo! Sunday night, hubby cooked minted lamb cutlets and new potatoes, followed by wine and another early night

Friday - can't remember???

Saturday - out for long breakfast with friends in the morning, played tennis in the afternoon. Out for dinner in the evening over in Williamstown.

Sunday - lazy morning, then went to the annual Fiat car club rally where a friend was showing off his Lancia. Went to the matinee performance of Hairspray at the theatre in the afternoon - great stuff! Out for dinner again, zero cooking this weekend I think!

Agree. Went to the Apollo 13: Mission Control show at the new State Theatre on Saturday night (can recommend by the way). Had dinner in Northbridge. Stayed at the Parmelia Hilton rather than driving home - had a great breakfast on Sunday morning included. Watched Megamind at home with my son on Sunday afternoon.

Fri went to crowne plaza Terrigal for drinks with our new BE mates nik & sal.
Sat morning fitted reversing camera to my truck/trailer due to stupid oh&s requirements then took my gorgeous wife Liz for a night at harrigans Irish pub in the hunter valley, loads of Guinness & jamesons later we spent Sunday visiting cellar doors & chocolate factories.
It was our 15th anniversary of our first date so extravagance was warranted.

Sunday

Went to a winery in the yarra valley and watched De La Soul and superstar D.J Mr Carl Cox play to a nice little crowd of between 800 - 1000 other like minded 30 - 40 year old people with their kids

Twas a very good day and the rain held off which was a miracle

I know it's Wednesday now but at the weekend we went to Adelaide. Only for one night. A round trip of 1,000 ks but who cares lol.

What little we saw, we loved. And it was 24 degrees. That helps. We stayed at the Adelaide Meridien on Melbourne Street in Adelaide north. Really very good. Good food, excellent coffee.

A winner all round.

As opposed to it pissing it down 24/7 I suppose it must have been a shock
If you come down again, let me know where you are and I'll hunt you down
