so this weekend was a bit quiet. maybe really, really quiet.
maybe so quiet that in fact, boyfy and i went a bit stir crazy, got a bit cranky and got a bit fighty.
but that happens to everyone right? you kinda get on each other's nerves a bit and it gets a bit grumpy? then you talk it out and everyone apologises and you promise that tomorrow will be a bright, brand new shiny day to enjoy and to leave the moodiness and unnecessary grumpiness in yesterday? that's our remedy anyway.
and this bright brand new shiny day for us happened to be a pearler for just hanging out and appreciating each other. a sunday perfect for going out for eggs and coffee, macaroons and strolls through the city, pink lemonade in the park and one of our most favourite (nerdy) pastimes - new book buying.
what a lovely turn around.
enjoy your week! x

black and white sunday.
carrying over our excitement from collingwood's big win, i bring you this week's black and white sunday.
like most regular sunday's we did some paper reading in the sunshine - i swear HJ foley park was made for sunday papers, we did some giggling, we did some lazing. i think boyfy may have even done some washing. bless him.
there were a couple of things that weren't so regular about our Sunday though:

there were a couple of things that weren't so regular about our Sunday though:
1. we had a blind tasting at our house. and not just any blind tasting. it was a mono-e-mono event between two feverish competitors. in the red corner, we had dr. pepper! and in the blue, cherry coke!
(in case you're wondering - our local IGA sells pretty much every single softie flavour ever invented. yes kim and ali, if you're reading this, even that increds strawberry fanta we had in greece. we love it.)
in essence, the challenge involved me assisting the boyf in tasting each can whilst he had his eyes closed. and, being the self-appointed dr. pepper connoisseur that he is, had to tell me which was the real dr. pepper and which was the cherry coke.
In summary, he thought cherry coke was dr. pepper!!! i don't know what that now means for humanity, but someone needs to practice drinking dr pepper. (i'm looking at you, bond). i personally liked the cherry coke better anyway, heaps sweeter and tangy-er.
2. sometimes we like to do really silly things and buy $10 creme fraiche. it came all the way from france. i love love love france but even i found it hard to justify spending $10 on french sour cream. oh well, best i take a photo of it.

black & white sunday
i know, i'm a little late, but here's what we got up to yesterday...
we baked a cheesecake.
we visited some friends and ate an amazing dinner (thank you benny. you're an amazing jamie.)
we cuddled on the couch with cindy, the most lovely dog-gone dog around.
we put a fireplace on our dream home wishlist.
