Long weekend, at a glance

Re-potted some plants Had yumcha for brunchBought new coffee cups Shared tapas with friends

Stu and I took last Friday off, so we could have a long weekend to spend together. We did a whole lot of simple but lovely things, but mostly, we just hung out, which was nice, especially after Stu's been working non stop for nearly a month.

How was your weekend?

November notes

Some totally random November things. Picture from here

Counting down to:

Stu finishing up his work project and not coming home stressed and upset anymore.

Mom and dad visiting from Singapore

Cherry picking weekend

Holidaying with Stu at the end of the month

Reading:

Ice age, a novel about travelling on the road, easy reading but nothing to rave about.

Watching:

Gossip Girl season 1 on DVD, I know I'm pretty far behind, but I missed so many episodes on TV, I wanted to watch season 1 before catching up with the rest of the world.

Haunted by:

A Model Daughter: The killing of Caroline Byrne. Watched it on TV last night and it left me thinking deeply about life, relationships, the poor dad, love, hate, greed, everything.

Looking forward to:

The holiday season

Buying pressies and gift wrapping everything nice and pretty.

An end of year getaway in the country.

Raving about:

Avon Anew Rejuvenate Flash Facial Revitalizing Concentrate. There are only a few products I would ever rave about and this is one of them. It's seriously good.

Melbourne Cup today

It's the race that stops the nation, so as a good resident of Australia, I am putting everything on hold to spend this Melbourne Cup day at the pub; eating, drinking and hopefully winning lots of money. Wish me luck!

Bejeweled

My jewellery and accessories collection was getting a bit out of control, so I spent some time re-arranging them in tea cups and saucers last night. It looks better than before but I still think it could be better organised. What I do like is that everything is out on display, because if I don't see it, I don't wear it (and very promptly forget about it!)

How do you organise your jewellery?

Haaaaalooooooomi

They say you can't buy happiness, but this pack of haloumi cheese has brought Stu and me so much eating pleasure, it's unreal. The saltiness, the chewy texture - Mmmmm. We love it grilled, in salads or simply on its own with a little squeeze of lemon.

Do you love haloumi too?
