It began on Friday lunchtime when I was able to have an unexpected lunch with DS2, who was down from Sydney and was working in the building opposite mine in Docklands!
So, I took him to a hidden gem of an Italian cafe in Docklands, called Caffe Bambino, very authentic Italian food and coffee.
Then, Friday night, we went to the HTC's production of The Three Sisters. Extremely well done. Beforehand our theatre group always goes to a Greek restaurant nearby called Byzantine, where I had the most delicious lamb dish.
Saturday night saw us at Madame Sousou again (we had been there a few months ago to celebrate my dear friend Marie's clean bill of health from her cancer), for a delicious French dinner to celebrate my very dearest friend, Kim's birthday. She and I shared Chateaubriand and it was out of this world - the beef literally melted in your mouth.
Sunday morning was brunch with our daughter (poached eggs with aparagus wrapped in prosciutto). Needless to say, TraderVic and I gave up eating for the rest of the weekend after all of this delicious food - lol!
However, there was some crafting going on, too.
I stitched a bit on my Pink version of "Counting" but I need really good light to stitch this one at the moment. I also started Day 10 of my PS SAL with Linda, Santa's 12 Days of Christmas but there will be pics of those next time.
However, I did have a Happy Dance, I finished my ombre scarf!
I am so thrilled with it! It is bitterly cold here this morning and I am about to set off for work, so I will be toasty and warm this morning on the train platform!
Okay, have to dash,
love
