Yesterday Kristie and I got up too early as the birds were chirping up a storm, thus making it very difficult to sleep. We both still felt pretty tired, so we decided to forgo the morning coffees.
We didn't do too much as we were both feeling a bit bleary eyed. We futzed around for a while, checking email, watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother, had a bowl of cereal; just keeping a low key approach to the day.
After about an hour or two, we started feeling the effects of the early morning and decided to go back to bed. We read for a while and started feeling our eyelids getting heavy, so it was off to dreamland for a while. We slept for about 2 hours and woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on Saturday. Granted there was only a little more than half of Saturday remaining, but we felt ready to take that on.
It wasn't exactly a bright sunny day yesterday, but it was dry and warm, so we thought we would take off to Queen Elisabeth Park on the Kapiti Coast for some off leash time with the dogs. There was very little wind, the sun was trying to poke through the clouds and the dogs had a wonderful time at the beach.
Upon arriving at home, we read for a while longer and just rested until it was time to make dinner. Dinner was something new. We made a Ruby Red Beet Burger that we found on the Strawberry Pepper Blog. We modified the recipe somewhat as we used egg as a binding agent, but because it is a vegan blog, they used gluten flour. The burgers tasted fantastic, and were a total make again.
After dinner and dishes we sat down to watch our movie rental: Cinema Paradiso. It is quite a long movie, so we're finishing it off today.
Here are a few pics we took at Queen Elisabeth Park.
