So much to read, so little time
Apr. 29th, 2010 11:25 pmLast night we said we'd eat somewhere cheap and do a normal grocery shop. I figured we would probably be home early, and I could make a start on the cleaning/tidying desired for my mother's visit this weekend. Instead, we ended up at 3C Bar, had a very good leisurely dinner, experimented with drinking wine rather than cocktails, and didn't get home until after 9.00pm, whereupon I felt no desire to do any cleaning whatsoever.
Tonight, I got home, put the dishwasher through again, and cooked dinner: lemon oven baked fish on a lime and chilli risotto (with homemade chicken stock). It was excellent, but risotto always takes forever to cook, and this was no exception. Wasn't helped by the fact that I ended up using a mixture of risotto, basmati and brown rice, as we didn't have enough risotto rice...
I have also:
Now my legs are tired and I am glad to be sitting down at my computer, with a cup of raspberry peach tea. My bridesmaid's flowers have lasted fairly well, and are pink and champagne coloured on my dressing table. They mostly opened without too much bruising.
I aim to finish work around 3.00pm tomorrow, and so I have told my authors (and why). This should be doable; Mum is supposed to arrive in Wellington at 4.10pm, and that should give me enough time to get to the airport.
