Long Weekend

The Ours surprised me yesterday by taking today and tomorrow off work! Today we're taking it easy, but tomorrow we're planning to have lunch at L' Gueuleton and then onto the Pills exhibit at the Science Gallery.

I'm just so happy to spend some extra time with him, seems like weekends just aren't enough. (I'm still planning to get some writing done but probably when The Ours is out gyming it.)

Valentine's Menu

Happy Valentine's Day y'all!

The Ours and I usually eat in for Valentine's, I pretend it's because our anniversary is in ten day's time (eight years!) but it's really because I want to scoff The Ours' excellent cooking.

Tonight he is making:

Main Course
Pan fried sea bass with chanterelle mushroom risotto

Dessert
Dark chocolate fondant

Am I not the luckiest girl in the world?! (Crow crow)

Have a lovely day whatever you have planned.

Good news

I know you've probably heard the great news about Alan Johnston's release, but I thought I'd share this great article by Alan's peers that I really enjoyed.

The Ours has the day off today, so we're going to lunch at Busyfeet and Coco. Then we're spending the day lazing around and watching films. Can't wait.

May you live in interesting times

Interesting night last night.

Went out to see the Brisbane Nigella Lawson in Sin è on the Quays. A lovely bar with exposed walls, good music and a relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately someone spilled several pints worth of alcohol down the stairs, cumulating in the Ours falling down them and spraining his ankle very badly. He got a taxi home and I ventured out to Traffic to meet with my former workmates. With buy one get one free cocktails on offer I was pretty wobbly on my heels at the end of the night. Before you think I'm a terrible girlfriend for abandoning the Ours, I brought back some fast food. Thank you Supermacs! Your cheerily branded packaging is still liberally strewn across our living room.

It was great to meet up with everyone, some of whom I'd not seen since I left work six months ago. I remember how worried I was about working from home and feeling lonely; I wasn't going to miss my massive workload but I had some great workmates. I'm surprised at how much I enjoy being on my own now. Still, I wouldn't mind having them around for tea breaks, I couldn't stop laughing last night with the filth we were coming out with. You just can't beat a work night out for pure abuse and dirt.

*It was a pretty interesting night for Paris Hilton, for different reasons. We had a little woot-enany when the Ours sent a text with the news. So if you're having a bad day, just remind yourself - you could be Paris Hilton. Who'd of ever thunk it?

What the Ours made yesterday

His first attempt at sushi. Looks great doesn't it?
