So last night (Sunday night here in OZ), I stitched on Day 4 of Santa's 12 Days of Christmas (PS) SAL which I am doing with the lovely Debbie and Linda. (I also did a bit of sewing on my machine, working on finishing those bunnies but more of that when I am done).
So, this is before I started stitching last night (sorry, it is a really bad photo!)
... and this is what I accomplished last night.
Yesterday, I had a lovely lunch at The Red Door Corner Store in Northcote. Now, the story behind this place is that we used to live just a few streets away, when the kids were little and TraderVic used to walk around there every weekend to get the newspaper as it used to be a corner Milk Bar. The kids would go with him and the kindly Greek couple would usually give them a lolly. Now it is a trendy cafe! How times change.
My dear friend Marie had sashimi Tuna with Soba noodles.
My other dear friend, Linda and I both had a Heirloom Tomato salad with potato rosti.
... and of course, we had tea and coffee!
The decor has a nod to its heritage as a milk bar.
Later that day, I decided to go on a cooking jag - you know that I love to cook and bake.
So, I dug up a new to me recipe which is quite old-fashioned. Beef Olives.
I also made a big pot of Pea and Ham soup for lunches this week.
So, if you take in the fact that I started the weekend with dinner and a play on Friday night, Saturday I had a massage, took lunch and spent time with an indisposed friend, stitched and sewed, had dinner with my best friend for her birthday (with TraderVic and her husband) and then on Sunday I went for an early morning walk, did the supermarket shopping, had lunch with my girlfriends, cooked up a storm in the afternoon and then sewed and stitched - I had a busy weekend! (You might note that no mention of housework is made! lol!).
Well, off to work in five mins.
hugs,
