Small Buffet

I promised I'd blog this weekend so here it is...

It's going to be fairly random as I don't have that much to include really.

On Friday I went to a "Traffic Light Party" hosted by the blogger formerly known as CuteCTguy. It was a hoot! Everyone had to wear something red, yellow or green to reflect their relationship status and take along a single person. I had a whole disaster to begin with as all my single friends were busy on Valentines dates that evening and TOH was unwell so I went alone, dressed accordingly (black with red accents if you're interested). Apparently there were some successful matches of those in green or yellow so the evening was a success!

Yesterday I had a serious cake fever about me so I set to and threw together some Portugese custard tarts. They were barely out of the oven before TOH, declaring his ill health (shocking case of 'man-flu') as full and vaid reason to permit him to demolish as many of them as humanly possible. There was some light wrestling and tussling as I cast him from the kitchen until they'd cooled. I went out last night with some friends, leaving him home alone, now there are only 3 left but it's looking like they may not last the day...

Last weekend we were in Brighton. It's the first time this year we've been and it was good to get some sea air. The weather was gloriously spring-like so I took a few snaps of my street. The first one from our doorstep...



This one as I walked down our street to meet TOH for a coffee (he'd gone ahead as I was faffing about).



The walk back home was chilly but the amazing sunset behind the ruined pier was spectacular - sadly the pic doesn't really do it justice, I shall blame this on my phone camera, obviously.

Bad!

I've been a bad blogger. I know. I shall read 100 spam emails, do 50 Facebook pokes and 25 spell checks as penance.

I've cheered up a bit since my last post. Absolutely none of the plans I've had have been put into action, I still have the same job and I still miss sunny blue skies and breezy weather (Sydney's in particular). I think I just got bored of being glum - it's not my natural default.

I'll blog over the weekend. Honest.
