Celebrating Positives (offset of the Gripes Thread)

[pmccarthy]

Had a lovely afternoon today, probably within walking distance of Nev's place. Sun shining in through big windows and lots of lovely red wine. Well, I had two glasses as I had to drive back up the Calder Freeway to home. Opened a bottle when I got here.

We braved the rain, the squalls, and the bitterly cold wind to go and have Sunday Roast at Johnny Fox's Irish Bar in the City. We even got a free parking spot out front! (no parking fees on Sundays).

SMWBO had the Pork Roast, and I had the Beef Roast. They were both excellent! - and we walked out completely full! But we decided we'd like a coffee and dessert, so we went to Sinamons in Victoria Park, and had coffees and a Blueberry Danish and a Fruit Danish! Talk about great desserts, this place stands head and shoulders above any other dessert cafe.

 

Called into Spotlight on the way home and grabbed a couple of items we wanted (a new pedal bin for the bathroom and some vacuum storage bags), and then went home, and now I'm kicking back in front of the heater for the rest of the afternoon, watching the storm blow itself out!

The only problem now, is what to have for tea! It just might be a 'fridge raid to see what we can quickly knock up, for a light evening meal. We no longer eat big meals at tea time, a big meal then wrecks your sleep when you're older.

I woke up to clear skies and sunshine. A southerly breeze of about 15 kts came up. Perfect for drying the washing. It got to about 20C inside just fom the sunshine. A real rejuvenator after a couple of very cold days and a little bit of rain.
