Day 194 - Open

Today's photo challenge was Open. After an extremely busy week involving gardening, tradesmen, odd jobs and a whole heap of work at school as well, this is what I had open come Friday night! After the weekend I am back at work, when all of the jobs during the term will build up to make the To Do list for the October holidays. It's a busy life!

Day 83 - Mystery Bottles

Strangely, we have had three bottles of red from Brokenwood sitting in our wine rack for some time. I do remember meaning to save one of these, but as they all have similar labels, I can't remember which one it was, why I saved it and how long I meant to! We opened the 2009 one tonight and luckily for us, it didn't seem to have gone past its peak. There is also a couple of bottles of shiraz from 2005 and 2006 out there, which are possibly from our last trip to the Hunter when we did all of our family tree research around Maitland. Next time I decide to save something like this, I really should write down a few extra details!

Day 78 - Great Meal to End the Great Weekend

Prawn and Asparagus Risotto... ok, no more risotto photos :P

A great weekend this week, where it felt like we got a  lot accomplished. Firstly Saturday when the house was all clean at the same time (major feat with Henry about) and many other little chores completed. Then today, with Henry fitting in an almost 3 hour sleep, we had a relaxing morning playing outside and mowing the lawn, followed by a post sleep visit to DFO where I bought a fabulous pair of jeans and a gorgeous pair of boots which we additionally on sale. To end the evening; a prawn and asparagus risotto and a lovely sauv blanc. Why can't every day be like that?
