The Weekender

Posted on the 07 August 2011 by Thesecretlifeofjen

After such a big week, I really needed this weekend to be a quiet one.

My Saturday morning walk was an attempt to return to routine, I wanted to make it to 6km, but only managed 4km.  I made pancakes with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup.  Then I attempted to relax for a while, but it wasn’t long before I had to get ready for the theatre.

Thanks to HerCanberra, Mr. J and I went to the Canberra Theatre to see Bell Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.   Great show, great seats.  It wasn’t that long ago that I saw Much Ado About Nothing.  I am never disappointed by Bell Shakespeare’s performances.  It was a lovely Saturday afternoon :)

After, it was a quick trip to get groceries we didn’t get at Costco.  Then home to relax before making dinner – Terriyaki Chicken, using our NewWave crazy 5 in 1 Multi-cooker, just for rice  ;)   I will have to do a slow cooker recipe soon, now that it is out of its big box!

Finished the night with a movie:  X-Men First Class.  Minus a few cheesey lines and James Bond stylising, I enjoyed it.
Sunday was a very lazy start, I am still really feeling exhausted(!)  Mr. J made poached eggs with bacon; I had one slice of bacon, jarlsgerg cheese and one egg, on one slice of grainy toast >YUM.

Not sure why, but I wasn’t feeling to well… So took it pretty easy before doing some more sorting around our new home.  A quick trip to Bunnings and we got some hooks, picture hangers, and a kitchen bin.  It is so nice to make changes to the place, without worrying about a landlord!
