Hiya lovely ladies...
So how is your w/end progressing so far?
Any plans or just spending some me time or family time doing something you've been wanting to do, like vegging out?
So far my w/end is coming along fine.  Bit boring, like a monotonous lark (DYK you really get a bird called a Monotonous Lark - promise, my Dad is a birding fundi & I've been the scribe on bird counts) but jogging along fine nevertheless...
Derek & I ate out at Cafe la Gallerie last night & had the most scrumptious oxtail.  Not a stew, just tender, falling off the bones, melt in your mouth oxtail, with carrots & rice...  Pudding was a honey cake with custard & again, Delicious with a big capital D!  Walked there & home again to work off a minute amount of the calories consumed...
Today was Garden Club newsletter day (finishing what I started on the 9th after the meeting), printing it up for those who prefer it hand-delivered, emailing it to those who like it thataway & okaying the content with another committee member before embarking on the aforementioned things...
Also went down to the gym, & didn't intend doing much, but had some fun with the exercise bike, added strength to the cardio on the treadmill with using 3kg hand weights & did the other stuff I usually do on a strength training day.
Now it's Family Fun Day for Derek & I to do something together.  Need to check what he has in mind first, though I might suggest helping him work on the remainder of his room that needs tidying up....
Tomorrow it's church in the morning & Formula 1 GP in the arvi - Nurburgring, which is always a demanding & interesting track...  GO RAIKKONEN!

For me...some workouts, reading, mixed upper and lower, being here, gardening.


Your oxtail looked delicious and the dessert too.

He took the day off & we went out to dinner.
Also we have his sister here for the weekend.
I guess that's ok, LOL

I've never had oxtail..haven't seen it on a menu in the states..sounds delicious!! Dessert sure sounds good too! Good to get a walk in afterwards after all of that too.


Friday I was at DD2's house and DD1 was there too. We visited while the kiddies played. Then that evening I "let" my husand take me out to dinner..LOL!


Today we've had my two youngest grandloves since 10am..except for a birthday party they went to this afternoon..then we picked up my two oldest grandloves and they all played on the slippery water slide in our back yard, then we had pizza, then outside again 'til it was time to take them to DD2's where they're spending the night. DH and I

Hi Mandy,
Oh your weekend sounds wonderful!
How nice you & Derek went out to eat as well.
BTW .. thinking tidying up Derek's room is not fun
Excellent to hear you really enjoyed the gym & did more too.
Hope the rest of your weekend is fabulous :)

How nice of you to *let* DH take you to dinner Donna,
Bet he was as thrilled as you
You're so lucky to have your kids, grandkids so close like that.
Sounds like it was a fun day for all of you!
Nice you had this evening to relax I bet, LOL
Sunday also sounds fun & busy like you always are.
Enjoy it all as it is really special :)

Derek didn't tidy up his room on Sat but I did make him pick up his Lego today.
