my weekend: the highlights
Two long lie-ins
Saturday dinner and Sunday lunch out
Concert in Canterbury Cathedral, especially hearing Justin Hayward sing Nights in White Satin and Forever Autumn.
A glass of wine and a chat with a friend in front of a roaring real fire
A new camera! I am not a squeeing person, but I might just have to do a little one. Squee!

My weekend
This weekend was mostly made up of:
Evidently, ignoring my camera
A Friday night date with the Prof, dinner at a local restaurant
Long lie-ins
Sausage sandwich and builder's tea
Falling asleep on the sofa
A cuppa with my Mum and Dad
The last (sob) episode of Spooks
Three books to read, borrowed from a friend. I read them years ago, but want to reread. My TBR bookcase is groaning already
A pretty new folder for our household notebook
Sunday afternoon tea with friends
Butter chicken (from a jar, I was intrigued but it was chicken curry by another name) with 'courgette pasta' *
Reading. Home magazines (making plans!), Country Living as always and Netherwood
* Courgette (Zucchini to you!) 'Pasta'
This is of course, not pasta. It's what you cook when you are trying not to eat pasta :)
Cut courgettes into long ribbons using one of those Y-shaped peelers.
Stir fry with crushed garlic
Mix with whatever pasta sauce or other items you fancy.
That's it! It is surprisingly tasty and you can use it anywhere you would have used pasta.

my weekend: elvis impersonator makes amazing stuffing
This weekend, I have been:
- Having an upset stomach
- Buying a mini greenhouse so I can start sweet peas off now
- Waiting at the bank for half an hour past my appointment time, getting cross and leaving
- Spending a fortune on meat, low carb
dieteating plan starting today - Eating crisps, Kentucky and too much Coke
- Sleeping a lot
- Having dinner at our friends' house, including the most amazing stuffing I have ever tasted, made by Wayne, wearing Elvis pyjamas. I have strange friends
- Reading Jamrach's Menagerie
I'm editing this Tuesday to add the recipe for the stuffing. Don't know why I didn't do that yesterday.
It was amazingly simple, a pack of Paxo, chopped onion and skinned sausages. Add hot water, stir, bake until done. It was amazing. I know, I already said that.

my weekend: in no particular order
Cocktails, tapas for the first time, wine, friends, conversation and laughs, everlasting peas still blooming by the gate, Bill Bailey and his lookalike, autumnal trees, quotes from my favourite film, religious debate, chocolate cake, a Sunday afternoon nap on the sofa, Spooks and a book I can't put down.
Weekend Upate: Harvest Festival
It's Sunday and Harvest Day.
It was unseasonably warm and we welcomed Autumn in t-shirts.
We brought home another member of the family, her name is Sally.
I'm reasonably exhausted and in bed right now, Sunday night at 9:00 p.m.
But wow we had some fun.
