Weekend

A trip to the market and lots of study was basically the sum of my weekend. I did have a bit of a girls night on Saturday with my flattie though which involved facials, chocolate mousse and the movie Juno.

Baby

 

My baby poses on cars and sleeps in backpacks.

My safe place to stand

Our flat is fantastic in that we get all day sun and have two decks to sit on to enjoy it. Sometimes though on late afternoons I end up on the front step watching the world go by and enjoying the last of the sun. A snack and a cute companion tops it off.

Antipasto dinner celebration

My best friend is a very talented graphic designer who got her first full time contract a while back. That contract came to an end a couple of weeks ago and she just got a full time permanent graphic designer position at a small business. We had to celebrate and considering what foodies we are this seemed pretty appropriate.

Anzac Day

 

Dawn Parade

 

Cooper's Creek Winery, Kumeu

Muriwai Beach

So nice to have a public holiday midweek. I finally (after years of wanting to) got up early enough for the dawn parade and then went to the beach with my flatmates. This of course included a quick stop at a winery along the way.

Weekend

Huia, Waitakere Ranges

Sunday Lunch

I just spent the morning harvesting a lot of basil out of the garden and making pesto to freeze. Sunday lunch was an obvious choice. Fettucine with fresh pesto and the last of the cherry tomatoes in the garden. Seriously delicious!
