Yesterday I managed to post about a sentence before going to bed, so I thought I should follow up.
We got up quite early yesterday and went for a swim at Thordon pool. We manged to get a free lane and didn't have to fight off others until we left; it was starting to get a bit busy by then. After the swim we took the pups up Kaukau with us, and went up the ridge route, which is quite a bit longer, but also much more scenic. Afterwards, we had a nice chat with Kristie's parents for about an hour, and then went down for a nap.
When we woke up, we futzed around for a while and then started cooking dinner, which was a fantastic new Mac & Cheese recipe we found. If anyone is reading this blog, and that is a big IF, you must try this recipe! We kind of got interrupted half way through cooking it by a Skype call with Shauna, Jason, Rod and Huey. We were kind of expecting the call, but we never got confirmation, so we just went about our daily routine. Anyway, after a couple hours of chatting over Skype, we finished cooking the dinner, and then ate. We finished off the evening by baking up a batch of fudge brownies, which also turned out great.
Today, we got up early again, but not as early as yesterday, and went for a 13 KM run, which took a lot out of me! I was pretty frigging pooped afterwards! Before coming home after the run, we stopped off at the grocery store to pick up this week's groceries. When we arrived home, we put the groceries away and headed down for a nap.
Both of us felt much better after the nap and proceeded to get a few chores done around the house; I mowed the lawn and Kristie put away laundry and made a batch of our granola bars. Afterwards we made a lunch of spinach and feta egg sandwiches, which were pretty good, but not great. I thought they were a bit dry...strange.
Finally, after lunch, we took the dogs for a nice leisurely walk in the Ngaio gorge, where they met up with a whole bunch of other pups.
Later on, we're going to make a dinner of mushroom risotto, and then call it an early night.
This was a great, and jam packed weekend!
