Week in review

This was the last week of Miss T being at kindy before the school holidays and from the sounds of it they had an awesome last two days.  I am going to miss the reprieve that I get when I send her off but I am looking forward to a few days holiday back home to visit all my friends and have a few long over due drinks, ohh and lots of chocolate

One of the parents made all the kids at the kindy marshmallow bunnies and  the kids got to decorate them with food dye.  How awesome is that, hearing things like this make me very happy that we have sent Miss T to a community kindy.

I have been on a chocolate making fix the last few days for the teachers presents, cute white chocolate bunny lollipops and Oreo truffle filled Easter shaped chocolates

Rib Roast. 
I have a confession to make on this one...
This my first beef roast ever.  Yes ever.  My mum has always been the roast person and it was not until I moved in with J that I learned how to cook a roast chicken and then we were vegetarian for a while so obviously no beef roast for us.  I will say that I was rather chuffed with myself and how it all turned out, it was nice but I am no meat eater and would rather have a nice big plate of roast veggies, J however J thought it was amazing and can't wait for the next one.

24 hours my friends, my whole Saturday was spent with this book, from cover to cover.

Long story, my mother in law bought me The Lost Symbol for Christmas a few years ago and I was always under the impression that The Dan Brown books had some kind of order that you had to read them in, the book has sat for years untouched.

Last week I took my friend into a thrift store that I frequent and I happened upon the DaVinci Code in almost new condition for $5, so I thought why not?

It was good, I really enjoyed it and I am loving the fact that I have been reading more books in the last four months than I have in the last four years, why did I stop reading?  I used to live with my nose in a book, my first love in life was books and when I say first love I mean my first passion and reason for living was books.  Books they are pretty awesome :D

Discovering bands especially well established and older ones that leave me wondering how they escaped my notice.  Bent a British band that falls under the electronica/lounge/down tempo/chill out category that I have so fallen in love with over the last few years.  I am no longer a happy hardcore raver kid who likes my doof doof music loud and full of bass, instead I like my electronic music a little more relaxed these days.  I have always been a fan of music that is a little left of the norm and happily these guys fill that spot rather nicely.  I have spent a whole day with them today and I can't wait to get my hands on an album or two.
