Weekend at home

I spent the entire weekend hanging not too far from my house, which is the first time I have done this in almost forever. With Mikl and Jody away and me being sick, I thought it the perfect time to catch up on house-cleaning, knitting, and some dedicated TV watching. I started out with good intentions, a friend dropped by and tried to take me to a movie. I said no, so they decided to stay, and we ordered in take-away food. Then two other friends called around, and they brough with them two other New Zealand friends who have been living in France for the past 2 years, so we all had a lot of catching up to do. Everyone except me got drunk, and one of the New Zealanders got very drunk, and it was very amusing.

I resolved to have a more productive day of vegetation on Saturday, but was forced to head into town to buy some skincare products on sale. But I returned early and baked some cookies that i couldn't smell were burning as I had lost my sense of smell, and made a big mess. I had just settled down to some serious bootie knitting (friends all having kids) when George and Sally and Imelda arrived, and we all went out for a Vietnamese meal. This was great, the restaurant is very close and food excellent. Besides, I didn't feel like cooking. They got drunk, it was fun.

Sunday - ahh, finally some house cleaning. Then a neighbour friend Jen dropped by during the ironing, then my friends Jims and Kev came over and we had tea and chats, followed by takeaway dinner.

All in all I knitted two sets of booties, cleaned the house and was reminded what a great bunch o friends I have!
