The Weekender

Posted on the 21 August 2011 by Thesecretlifeofjen

Friday night after my dreaded interview I wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate it being over ;)   But Mr. J had a headache, so it was a night of chilling on the couch withe leftovers, Entourage S7 and fro-yo!  Oh, and some wine.  My parents’ housewarming gift was a dozen wines, and a wine rack – a variety of white (they know I am not a fan of reds).  So we opened the first bottle and it was lovely.

I think the left over stress left me with left over adrenalin, because I woke up at 4am on Saturday – and I was not too happy about it!

Saturday morning was spent feeling pretty average ;)   So I just did mundane household stuff > washing anyone?  Unpacking (still!).  Plus our carpenter came to do some alterations to our place – the fridge now fits properly, there is a shelf in the laundry, and the open pantry now has doors on it.  Much better :)

Saturday afternoon we traipsed around Fyshwick looking for bedside tables and getting some tools for Mr. J.  He loves having a place to do some reno’s on it.

After that we chillaxed until it was time for date night  ;) :)

Le Tres Bon in Bungendore.  We started with a Gavroche beer for Mr. J and a hibuscus flower champagne cocktail for me > Delicious!
The WeekenderWe started with escargot – which was suprisingly really good.  The flavour of the sauce and accompanying bread was yummo.  Then I indulged with beef bourguignon, and Mr. J had rabbit – poor lil rabbit(!)  Both dishes were amazing – but I preferred mine ;)
The WeekenderAnd then it was dessert time: O-M-G ;)   Pear anch french dark chocolate and butterscotch sauce > Check out the little hearts in the sauce: Adorable!
The WeekenderLovely dinner, and lovely company :)

Sunday was another slow start, but we hit the apartment with more sorting and packing away – trying to make a dent in the spare bedroom.  Mr. J did really well, and we made more than a dent(!)  It is looking really good, and I would even let someone stay in there – But we have no bed!

Then it was off to Howard’s Storage to pick up a shower caddy, as we’ve just been leaving everything on the floor for the past 3weeks… We picked up a corner one, and a hand towel ring thing  :)
