Fab Weekend & No Pictures

I can't tell you how happy I was to have my hubby back this weekend!! Kevin has been working so hard lately with work and uni. Each weekend he has been going into the office to work on his assignments, because there are two major distractions to trying to work at home = ) I wonder WHO they are? It's been over three weeks since we have spent a free day with him, so you can imagine how happy we all were.

We had some movie vouchers to use up, so my parent's looked after Brian (only the third time he has been looked after by someone other than Kevin or I) and we headed out for an early lunch and a midday movie. Lunch was fantastic. We went to Fleet Street at Indooroopilly, I had the high tea and Kevin had the BLT. Can I just say now that I LOVE high teas! I've only ever had two but I'm addicted. I prefer the emphasis on the savoury with a little sweet to end, which is why this high tea was perfect for me. There were three large ribbon sandwiches and a small frittata to fill me up before delicately sampling each and every little sweet on the remaining two tiers, oh yum! Kevin actually said "What are you doing?", as I nibbled off a piece of one the cake decorations. My reply, "tasting every little piece so I can re-create it". This is how I get my cooking inspiration.

Next the movie, Astro Boy. It wasn't exactly something we were dying to see but I did grow up watching the cartoon and we both love everything Japanese! I did find myself watching the clock a little, but that was probably because I was hoping that Brian wasn't giving my parent's any grief. We did enjoy the movie and it was nice to see the background story to Astro Boy as I never knew how/why he was created.

After a quick look in a couple of shops (EB and a comfort shoe store - I'm desperate for a great pair of thongs=flip flops) we headed back to my parent's place where we spent the afternoon. We were further spoiled by a yummy roast dinner and trifle for dessert!!

On Sunday, Brian and I headed out to a local fete where I scored a small but nice apothecary jar and Brian got two board books, total spent $3. It was soooo hot that we came home as fast as we could.

Kevin stayed home and avoided study despite having an exam next weekend. I think he was more than overdue for a day of lazing about!

On the "No Pictures" front: We don't clear the camera card until it has been uploaded to both the laptop and desktop computers. Uploading to the desktop is a Kevin job because I'm not qualified *smile*. Hopefully next weekend I can reunite with my little camera, oh how I miss my little buddy!
