Day 188 - Enough Chocolate?

The last couple of times I have been over to the newly refurbished Westfield at Belconnen, I have noticed the huge queue out the door at Max Brenner. I thought the first week of the NSW holidays would be a good time to go (before the hordes of ACT people are infiltrating the shops in droves) so Peta, Cathy and I and met up over there today. The above is a chocolate brownie... almost black in colour and drizzled in pure melted chocolate to feed my addiction! I really should go back to Koko Black in Civic so I can decide which I like best!

Day 187 - In the Hot Seat!

I have been dreaming of a big square dining table for a while now, so went over to Vast Interiors this afternoon to look at their sale. I love these red chairs and 8 would fit around a table I liked as well. Anyway I mainly took the picture to show Dale my brilliant idea!

Day 186 - Shopping with Henry

Well I had to take a squash from him at the checkout so they could be weighed, so the second item that Henry decided to pilfer from the trolley was a block of rum and raisin chocolate! He loves a bit of a rummage through the bags looking for tasty items - but no, this one is definitely for Mum!

Day 185 - Sleeping Continues!

Henry is continually amazing me with the way he can resettle himself. I heard him wake at 6am this morning and have a little grizzle to himself. I would have thought that since it was almost daylight that would be it for the night, but no; he went back to sleep and this is how I found him an hour or so later. Out from under the quilt at the head end of his bed, sleeping sideways, but sleeping none the less!

Day 184 - Pantry Underway!

Well we have a wall! Work began on the pantry this weekend and things are finally starting to look the way that I imagined in my head. Now for the plastering to be finished so I can paint it and then to choose shelves and get a door...

Day 183 - Long Awaited Date Night

We have had a few nights out since Henry was born, but this is the first one that was for no reason other than to enjoy an evening together. Mum offered to look after Henry so that we could go out, so Dale booked a table at our favourite restaurant (bit of a treat!) Aubergine at Griffith, which is where we had out wedding reception in 2009. I had a gorgeous entree which had lentils, scallops and pancetta and barramundi for mains, but the dessert was the highlight of dinner for sure. A chocolate fondant, salted caramel ice cream and a chocolate delice with toffee. Yum!

Day 182 - Term 2 Done and Dusted

Well, finally the day is here - Term 2 is finished and we are halfway through the year. I have a list of things that I both need and want to do in the hols and now 2 weeks to plough through it all, but tonight was for relaxation! Mum drove down this afternoon to stay for the weekend and so we enjoyed a bottle of red with dinner!
