Last night we caught up with our friends Debbie and Nick - who have recently got engaged! congratulations guys! they are also, like us, new home owners.
They cooked us a spectacular dinner (which is what you get when you have dinner with Deb's cooking, as she loves to try out really exotic recipes). She made tomato and onion tartlets, these scrumptious pear and blue cheese things, topped with beaten egg white, and the most tender steak, cooked for us on their bbq outside the door of their lounge! so we were looked after rather well. Their house is really cool, some of the decor is really retro, which I love. I wanted to make off with their lampshades in their lounge, and Tim even suggested swapping them for the ones we have in our bedroom, but unfortunately for us, they didn't buy into it! oh well! you can't blame us for trying, though!
Today we are busy with the house - trying to get the rest of the boxes unpacked, etc etc. It's proving to take more time than I thought, but slowly the house is feeling more like ours, which is a good thing :D we woke up early today and I went outside and discovered that the weekend paper had been delivered again (mistakenly), but it was lovely having it, and reading in bed with a cup of tea (assam tea......mmmm), with the sun streaming in through out window. So things are great up here. Very relaxing, and we're planning on having a night in by ourselves and cooking up a lovely big roast dinner. We're married and can afford to let ourselves go, just a little!
