As promised I am reporting back on our trip to the movies last night to see Vicki Cristina Barcelona. G and I both enjoyed it. The scenery and architecture was stunning - maybe we should add Spain to our list of possible overseas holiday destinations. The story was fun and I thought Penelope Cruz's character was a standout. I would thoroughly recommed this film.
Today we have had another trip to Brisbane to look at a house for sale with our daughter and her partner. It was not suitable but gave us all an opportunity to think further about what they are really looking for - buying a house is such a big step that you really need to know that you are happy with it.
We went to our local fruit and veg shop to stock up for the week ($16.35). Even though we sometimes think food prices are expensive it does not cost a lot to eat well, especially when you cook as much as possible from scratch.
I have done a menu plan for the week:
Sat - Chickpea loaf (from the freezer)with onion gravy and baby potatoes, carrots, zucchini
Sun - Celery soup with fresh baked bread
Mon - Beetroot and bacon risotto
Tues - Spaghetti bolognaise and side salad
Wed - Bean nachos
Thur - Chicken burritos and salad
Fri - Stir-fry beef and asparagus with ginger, soy & chili sauce
Now I'm off to do some washing (just as well the line is undercover as it is raining here today) and tidy some more of the study.
Thanks to those who have left comments/are following this blog. I will endeavour to keep it valid and interesting.
