YAY! SHE'S BACK HOME

 She got back home early this afternoon after spending most of the week in Auckland. I missed her.

She handled the trip well and is in good nick. It's good having her home. I'll be able to get out and about again - golf, tennis - stuff like that.

The Old Girl drove her down there and back. I missed her as well and it's also good having her home.

I'll light the fire this afternoon to make the house cosy. I spent the morning doing a bit of a tidy up which included packing things into large plastic containers and storing in the attic. The attic ladder has been a great installation with us now being able to make use of hitherto wasted space. The trick will be in not storing too much unwanted or unneeded junk up there instead of just getting rid of it.

The Old Girl went on a fancy food shopping spree bringing back items that we don't see so much in the shops up here - good cheeses, smoked salmon, chorizo, duck etc. It's not that we never see these but in Auckland the choices are better. She also brought back a box full of vegetables from the garden of the friends she was staying with. We'll eat well this week.

Before you ask, tonight I'm cooking piccante chicken, an Italian inspired dish of chicken tenderloins lightly sauteed in a lemon and caper sauce which will be served with stir fried Udon noodles.



So, how's your Saturday?

Actually she's a Corolla which means the petals of a flower, not an angel.

Lynn is good as well. She wasn't in the 3P class though so doesn't understand Latin.

That's why it's better if we all use Italian. Ma tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare. Spero che il tempo al nord sia buono. Nuova Lazio è molto fredda.
